Totally fake active player counts

[Popsi_46]

Hello, several weeks ago, I found a game creator who does not have the same number of active players as players in the servers.

How does he do that, I thought the problem was fixed in 2014? Or second solution, he would have 2K afk accounts on private servers?

Also, he does this on every game he owns.

If it’s legal, I’m interested, I can’t believe that some can cheat to be first in the algrohythm, while the rest of us are struggling to get 50 active players.

Sorry for the mistakes, I have trouble with English and the translator is not my friend.

The start place displays the total amount of players playing in all the places.

Yea, the start place shows the activate players of all places

even in different groups?
Am I allowed to share game links?

[bytesleuth]

No because a different group would have a different start place.

then I don’t understand, look

💥[NEW MAP] British Army

how does he get 100 players when there are 17 players playing his games and 0 on the other two games in his group

There are 2 reasons on why this could possibly be happening:

1. Private servers.
2. They have a lobby system which teleports players into another game, and the other game’s servers don’t show up on the main game.

The places are not visible but they can exist under same experience which makes the start place display the total active users in all the places under it.

Ok so it’s not illegal but it’s a great idea, Tysm !

dude, if you press the play button on the army game, you’ll understand they’re simply teleporting the players from a lobby server to a game server -it’s not a loophole, its the standard roblox universe feature lol

It might also be players in private servers that make the player count larger. I noticed this especially in games that orient around private servers.
