I cannot open the link, is there any possible technical explanation on what happenned (assuming it isn’t confidental or something)?
Also I believe this is the longest Roblox outage as of 2021 in history (most likely?)

While there are no data loss for players who did not play during the outage, there are numerous of reports of data loss of players who were playing just before ROBLOX completely shut down

Can we also get the studio offline feature back? This is really helpful for situations where your own wifi has an outage or you dont have access to wifi or when the roblox servers are down.
That way you can still continue development while the engineers work on a solution or anywhere you go.
This used to exist, but i have noticed that it was taken out some time ago, which left me and a lot of other users unable to work in offline mode on progress.

How do you define an “Earning Developer?”
Only those who’ve DevEx’ed or?

Thank you to any of the engineers who were working around the clock to bring Roblox back up and running again!
Hopefully nothing happens like this again in the future.

Hey, not sure if this is the right place to reply with this. But it seems that I’m having issues with the website, Roblox says that it’s up!
I’m using the Brave browser, but this issue seems to be happening with other browsers.

You never realize how much you depend on Roblox until you suddenly aren’t able to use it for days. Thank you for trying to solve this outage.

This is great. I think that this is an amazing start to deal with a revenue loss for developers.

Sort of rant warning.
Preface: this post was more to whoever is running the social media/status.roblox.com website, not the engineers. I don’t think the engineers are at fault here at all in fact, they did their best and made progress as quickly as they could.
While I’m glad Roblox is back, if this happens again, I really hope we get some form of statement, not wait until 2 days into the outage to make one.
Overall, I don’t really care that it was down, I just hate the lack of transparency. As others have said already, even a “we don’t know what caused it”, or a “no eta”, or a “we think we might have found the issue” post would suffice. Even if a statement that said “we thought we identified the issue but it appears to be something else”. Heck, even something saying “we’re not going to look into it until the weekend is over”. Literally anything other than a generic statement saying “we’ve identified the issue” statement 4 times which makes players think Roblox 100% knows the issue and is making progress, which gives people some form of false hope.
Now that this is over, I hope Roblox admins can at least consider making Studio available offline as per this feature request

Like a lot of others here, I’d like to thank all the engineers who spent their weekend working to get everything back up and running. Nice job! Well done!

Thanks a ton for the transparency and communication to Roblox, you’re really improving on this part and the community appreciates it 
I have one question though: are services dependent on Roblox’ uptime also eligible for compensation? Due to the outage, our advertisement revenue of our website dropped since some components are relying on Roblox’ APIs. The outage brought financial damage to us.
This would be due to data store errors. See the OP:

Thanks to the whole roblox team for fixing this problem😁
Thank you, Engineers! Glad you could fix the site.
I’m happy to see Roblox taking initiatives to compensate developers and refund the cost of ads ran during the time. Something I feel wouldn’t have happened a year ago. Glad the platform is back online and running again and hope that, if possible, the full cause of the problem can be released publicly with assurance that it won’t happen again.
Thankful to the engineers who worked tirelessly to get everything back online as well! They definitely deserve a bonus (and a break!)

last but not lost. in a way it makes me proud to see that roblox is expanding so much that this problem is real, by the way, i hope it doesn’t happen again, even though i’m proud it was chaotic.

Thanks, Roblox Team for fixing the problem! I think that isn’t going to happen again. 
Just to make sure I have the facts straight, the reason that Roblox went down was because the server that directs other servers to ready themselves for an experience was overloaded due to a bug? And from there it was a chain reaction with everything else going down?
Thank you, engineers, for finding a solution to this issue. It’s great to see it back and ready to go.
