Now this is going to be epic, an legendary moment for Roblox i hope this helps attract older players.
Its nice to have a place where people can test out new communication methods on roblox, im really excited towards the future.
I’m pretty sure that it is going to be 18+ with ID verification. (according to bloxy news)
Well, the official blog it says it will be for (+13 years)

Yes, developers will be able to toggle spawn with friends & friend locator on and off. You will also be able to customize how these features work if there are specific components you want to keep / edit / remove.

But it says for developers specifically for the beta. What I’m trying to say is that for public use, it might be 18+ for now. They did talk about releasing it for younger audiences.

More likely to wait, if the tests of the experience go well, it can add to (+13 years) or for older people but I hope that how the community behaves with this change

The only issue that I would see happen for VC would be moderation. Like how would you moderate adults? Also, the experience is closed rn. (looks like they are fixing the text filtering?)

This is very cool, I am extremely exited to see what cool, funny and overall amazing things will come out of this! Hopefully the api will be extremely versatile, i can think of so many amazing ideas with this like radios, phones and horror games.

It looks like it’s just an emote? There’s nothing really special about it.

It might be but its the exact same icon as the star creator badge on the player list and in the metaverse event hub for the create
Seems to be that Roblox has done a Microsoft, in scrapping their Quality Assurance department. Many updates of late have had to be disabled not long after release due to bugs that seem so trivial, you’d think they would’ve been caught during development, or post-developmental testing. But they test features before releasing them, right? Right?

I believe that ROBLOX’s decision to bring voice chat to the platform will take them to the next level. There was a huge issue when it came to communicating with other users, and bringing voice chat as well as restricting it to only 13+ users will be really great. However there might be a problem with this, as users might lie about their age. I do, however, have some questions:
- Will there be some sort of age verification system?
- How would the filtering system work?
Other than that, I’m pretty excited for this!

By that logic, the chat in Roblox shouldn’t exist either.
There will always be ways to bypass it, and that will never be fixable but removing the feature entirely because of a handful of people on the platform is a little overboard.
