I feel like the fee is kinda annoying, since developers already pay enough for groups, like uploading clothes, badges, audios, and possibly more. They also have to deal with moderation that you sometimes can’t even refund or contact support about. Kinda useless update imo.

Finally, I have been tracking this almost daily via the Developer Roadmap, and the time has come! This will help most of us and also helps reduce the number of unused groups. I really appreciate this update, Roblox, so keep it up!
My only issue here: Why rename a group when you can simply make a new one for the same price? Shouldn’t the price for renaming be a little lower, say 80 Robux, to help reduce group spam and encourage others to rename their groups rather than create a new one? It will also benifit you, the Roblox Corporation, because it will really help ease the group number load on your hosting servers.

This is a nice update, although one thing. It kinda stinks it cost robux, at some points you might as well buy a new group in general.
I just got a group transferred to me during a rebrand. Now I need to wait 90 days, which I’d say is very excessive.

Would you ever lower the price of being able to change your group name?
While I like the update and am so happy I can change my group name after years of people talking about the group rename feature, I don’t like that the names can be recycled after 90 days. I think that groups should always reserve the right to their former group names and have the right to change back to them whenever they want. I don’t think other groups should be able to claim the name even after 90 days. Sort of like usernames. Causes too much confusion and people can impersonate other groups.

Agreed, this is the feature they should’ve released in 2011 or 2012 (the year when username change feature was released). Way long overdue but I’m glad they’ve finally released them, they’re absolutely essential to correct mistakes or to change a new name rather than recreating and closing group.
If they release this feature 10 years ago, the amount of recreated groups would’ve reduced a lot. Maybe the group ID would be under 9 million by now instead of over 13 million.

I don’t know if this was an error or not considering this feature is new, but I currently own a group that is all lowercase. I attempted to change it (with the same name just capital letters) and it said that the group name was already taken.

awesome update
i feel like the price is at a proper point, 100 robux is just fine and 1000 robux would of been a nightmare for me
it’s just a little annoying that i’ll have to wait a month to change my group’s stupid name because i changed ownership to my alt by accident all the way back in november.
anyways, still grateful for this awesome update!

Yes yes yes realy tanks for Talk about this new update
: )
If anything, that’s too low…
I own groups with hundreds of thousands of members, through hard work. I wouldn’t want someone being able to change the name of their group similar to mine and suddenly start claiming they’re bigger than us, despite being completely new to the genre.
A cafe group shouldn’t be able to suddenly turn into some military group. It just doesn’t make any sense.
90 days is too low.

Really nice feature, now I dont need to buy another one and have some free space for other groups.
So what do you think the time should be?
One group name change per year, per group and the cost is based on your member count (1:1) with the minimum being 100 robux.

This means that a big groups with millions of members simply won’t be able to change their name, or will have have to exile members just to get a cheaper price.

Terrible idea. I’m rn saving for that 100 robux just to change my 9 group member name, 90 days is enough and about the member-depending price would just make it worse
This means huge member groups would have to exile lots of members just to change their name? Plus, that 1 year group name is terrible, what if you wanna change ur group name, then later decide another group name, you would have to wait a whole year to do that , 3 months is enough dude
