Random people (most likely bots) joining my game

I have also experienced them in my games and there is no way that it has anything to do with HTTP Requests being enabled or disabled!

We can definitely confirm that these are bots because they are willing to join 50/50 when a new game was made and you will always see the game having atleast 1 visit even though nobody played it except the bot.

I thought that they were some sort of “Roblox Moderation Undercover-Bot-Accounts” and it might be just that.

They usually stay in the game for around 1-2 minutes, move also sometimes, and they used to chat indeed in-game (maybe they still do, but I have never seen one chatting in a game that uses LegacyChatService as a ChatVersion), but it’s still strange and creepy to see them just playing your game out of nowhere and then leaving.

TL;DR:

  • These are definitely bots, no doubts

  • They may only chat in the new ChatVersion: TextChatService and not LegacyChatService

  • Some may move as well but it’s very unlikely as they mostlikely just stay around

Pretty interesting topic though.

Same thing happened to me. It’s quite bizarre, isn’t it? I tried to figure out what these accounts are up to
test1
i asked “who are you” and the person replied “biggie” but he was moving around in circles
when typing this. he did not stop while typing this still moving around in circles. When regular users type, they move in the direction they last pressed until they exit the chat. but this guy did NOT. he was still moving in circles so its a bot
creepy

Nothing wrong with bots to be honest. They aren’t breaking the game. Just let them be. They seem to only join new games. You can first publish the game privately, then after a week, make it public. Bots should no longer to anything.

Roblox has 11 player limit to detect and shutdown games with inappropriate content inside them maybe those bots are joining just to trigger that limit??
