Introducing the Free Private Servers Sort

The 100 concurrent player criteria is required for this sort as well as the like ratio over 50%

So does your game need 100 concurrent players when applying?

Why isn’t that said in the OP? That criterium was never mentioned, so how could we know? A few games in the sort are at the moment at ± 30 concurrent players, so I thought there wasn’t a concurrent player criterium.

I’ll update the original post with this info, this was only introduced recently

Alright I am guessing the games must have 100+ players? I am confused as there is a few games on the sort below that.

Yes. The games currently on the sort that have dipped below 100 on the sort were added in a previous wave, they had over 100 originally.

If they still have below 100 concurrent players at the time of the next wave, they’ll be taken off the sort. We’re keeping an eye on both the player count and like ratio of games in the sort.

We understand that there are dips while certain areas of the world are sleeping, which is why we wait until the sort rotation to remove games under the criteria.

Yes,True but hey might pick my game because everyone love candy :smiley:

Is there a reason for the concurrent player requirement? Naturally, I understand that it is a tell-tale sign of whether players are enjoying the game or not, but I believe that it is also important to consider games that are designed not for monetization but instead for the enjoyment of the player base.

I am currently developing for a group in which we are creating innovations but running at a low profit/advertising rate. While we understand that the sort is meant to expose more fun games to the players on Roblox, I believe that it should also take into consideration the quality over quantity and that low-budget developers may not have the capacity to reach 100+ concurrent players even though their game may be fun for people who play.

Concurrent player count is based on enjoyment of the player base, not monetization. The better your game is, the longer people will play and thus the larger concurrent player count you will have

If "Play Together Sort’ goes well, I think this should remain for the future after the pandemic

Will we be notified if our game was declined by this? Is it possible to re-apply if that is the case?

He said that, you won’t be able to be notified due to them not having an efficient system for that. So basically you won’t know. The best way you can know is if you have not been accepted within at least a month. After that, you can probably re-apply.

Will this category still exist once countries finish reopening?

Hey @InceptionTime! It’s great to have this opportunity to get the chance of being featured on this sort. As my game has applied around a month ago, we were declined due to not having a publicly available self-checkin system. We have added that since, and we fit all of the criteria. With this in mind, when re-applying now, fitting the criteria and changing what you have specified, will there be a possibility that in the next rotation we could be featured on this, if still meeting the criteria? Once again, thank you for giving this opportunity for games across the platform, as this is a wonderful thing that brings so much more to the community.

Edit: Additionally, we have added a chicken restaurant in-game that contributes to the daily-life experiences, with more lively activities in game!

Love the sort (as well as the learn and explore sort) however its kinda sad that the RTHRO sort got moved so far down the game page.

I applied to get this game into the sort. Forgot to mention my username - @Fallen2D wasn’t the one submitting it. Sorry for any confusion and I hope his game gets on there!

Your game has less then 100 current players (currently 0) so I doubt if it will be accepted…

I said it wasn’t my game.
Some people can’t be bothered to read…
Besides, many games in the sort have less than 100 current players.

Awesome! Now more small developers will have a chance at getting their game seen with this new sort. Keep it up Roblox! :grinning:
