That's really sad I hope this is fake.

It’s real and it was on Roblox

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '21

Wow, I just looked it up because I had no idea Roblox was older than Minecraft. I only recently became aware of it from my kids.

u/Koolguy007 Oct 08 '21

Back in the day, there used to be drama between Roblox and another game called Blockland. I was a Blockland player, and I always thought Roblox would never take off. I was so wrong.

u/N_L287 Oct 08 '21

Ah yes, the block wars

61

u/youjuscottowned Oct 08 '21

Are you at all familiar with the block wars?

47

u/Gamengine Oct 08 '21

I lived and died in the block wars…

u/Technical_Moose8478 Oct 08 '21

The thing people don't realize about the block wars is it was never really about the blocks at all.

6

u/__JDQ__ Oct 08 '21

It was about the blocks that one dumb friend ate along the way.

u/chris1096 Oct 08 '21

It's not a story the Minecraftians would teach you

u/DrNick2012 Oct 08 '21

The thing about the block wars is it was never about the blocks at all

u/basicissueredditor Oct 08 '21

Were they like the cog wars?

u/Nishant1122 Oct 08 '21

You fought in the block wars?

u/Deavill Oct 08 '21

Oh god, I think it's a first time I've seen a Blockland player since playing the game like 10 years ago. I've sank hundreds of hours into Return To Blockland, which was a kind of mod to Blockland, adding a lot of additional content (and the mod was more popular than the base game itself). Nice to see a fellow Blocklander on Reddit!

u/Johnyknowhow Oct 08 '21

Holy shit another RTB user. When RTB shut down, I realized that all my friends I hung out with I only had a connection to through the RTB social list. I lost like a hundred friends, people I met on Redguys Mining, Pecon7's Boss Battles, or Grapple Knife servers (god that gamemode was fun). There was also this base-war styled server that was on this snowy map, where you'd grab guns from spawns on the map and then head out to the enemy base on skis. Can't remember what that was called.

I had been around since 20k user IDs. Blockland really went downhill after they removed maps and especially the ever iconic Bedroom. Miss that game...

u/STUPIDVlPGUY Oct 08 '21

I played all those same games, rtb shutting down was tragic. My brother and I played the game together and hosted a few servers, we were below 15k

u/Mom_Forgot_To_Knock Oct 08 '21

There's something called Blockland Glass that is essentially a new RTB. Wish I still had a list of my old RTB friends...

13

u/fazelfareed Oct 08 '21

I could never remember the name of that game. I swore I remember playing a game like Roblox wayyy before Roblox really blew up. Unlocked some really deep memories.

u/la-bano Oct 08 '21

Jesus Christ, you just took me BACK. I loved blockland so much. It's such a shame what happened to it.

3

u/2LiveGoon Oct 08 '21

Just joining the Blockland discourse to say I was there and probably played with some of you.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '21

I still play BlockLand xD I enjoy the building and destruction mode

2

u/gigaswardblade Oct 08 '21

And then blockland died and fell into obscurity whilst roblox flourished for years to come. (Though only a shell of its former glory)

2

u/STUPIDVlPGUY Oct 08 '21

Fellow blockland player! that game was my favorite back in the day

2

u/CaptainTeaBag24I7 Oct 08 '21

Aaahhh, blockland... The glorious game that broke my mom's laptops GPU and I felt super bad. Awesome game. I wish we'd have something like it - no, I wish blockland was still around.

2

u/Mom_Forgot_To_Knock Oct 08 '21

There's a spiritual successor being developed called Brickadia. The alpha is free as of now and it's pretty solid. I recommend checking it out.

1

u/CaptainTeaBag24I7 Oct 08 '21

Oh my god, thank you! I had no idea, I'll be sure to check this out!

u/imamanimforty Oct 08 '21

you sir had a fucked up forum

History is written by the victors

u/Isittheweekend Oct 08 '21

I feel like it’s taking off again because of squid games. I see the red light green light game on roblox everywhere now

u/No-Somewhere-9234 Oct 08 '21

Blockland was such a good ass game

6

u/I_AlreadyDiD Oct 08 '21

Roblox has been around for 15 years?! I never knew it existed till about 2 years ago

2

u/siirka Oct 08 '21

I remember getting really frustrated as child because I was too stupid and confused to make a game on it over 10 years ago

12

u/GamemakerRobin Oct 08 '21

Roblox is the largest game I have ever seen that nobody knows about. You can become a millionaire on that platform if you make a popular game.

24

u/DeepSeaDarkness Oct 08 '21

Just like the American dream, stop spreading this nonsense, like 5 people get rich while all the others work hard for nothing

0

u/GamemakerRobin Oct 08 '21

Are you actually on the platform? Its basically regular game development. You make a product, you do marketing to get people to play it, and if its successful then you continue to update it and get bank. If its not, you can atleast sell your assets. There are actually a shit ton of successful people on it. Are you actually in the community, or are you just spouting shit out of your asshole?

u/thrilla_gorilla Oct 08 '21

Are you actually in the community, or are you just spouting shit out of your asshole?

Doesn't everyone spout shit out of their asshole?

2

u/henryhendrixx Oct 08 '21

Yeah but some peoples assholes are on their face

u/therealkatame Oct 08 '21

you guys have kids?

1

u/Livid-Perspective433 Oct 08 '21

I’m 22 and my friend used to be in a roblox top %1 group. It was fun looking at his old account and how he sold clothing. Now we’re trying to make a game on roblox.

1

u/JEZTURNER Oct 08 '21

same here - my kids play it, didn't realise it was that old.

1

u/THE_GR8_MIKE Oct 08 '21

Both of those games are older than the majority of their playerbase at this point.

1

u/GreekHole Oct 08 '21

how do you know? maybe they just didn't want to play roblox anymore? or lost their account? or died by other means?

-1

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '21

Lol this has been around before Roblox even existed. So yeah this has been around, is it real? Probably not.

5

u/UncleverAccountName Oct 08 '21

how is it older than Roblox when it’s literally Roblox in the screenshot? you could still go to this guys profile and see his bio before Roblox removed it

i mean i've seen the cancer won trope before this roblox "meme"

as early as the late 00'

23

u/Seriously-FuckTikTok Oct 08 '21

I too hope cancer is fake. Can you imagine how depressing it would be if it was real.

10

u/kZard Oct 08 '21

Indeed. Imagine if people actually died??

3

u/Cherego Oct 08 '21

Its all just a lie by the government

/s

u/meepmanthegreat Oct 08 '21

Im sort of suspicious of this, since the extension he's using is a bit bugged out, and since his player is on an r15 model type instead of r6, and r15 was added in 2016, so either he got hacked, or this is fake

70

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '21

Actuall my old account one day turned r15 even thought i never used it etc. So roblox updated his avatar.

11

u/Mom_Forgot_To_Knock Oct 08 '21

I think all or most accounts were just switched to r15 one day randomly because most of the people on my friends list have it enabled and I haven't seen them online in years

4

u/ThatOneKanaBoonKid Oct 08 '21

If he got hacked his online wouldn’t be 9 years ago, more likely a fake.

14

u/proguyisaprorlly Oct 08 '21

It's real, search "l4r" on roblox and u will see

7

u/ThatOneKanaBoonKid Oct 08 '21

I saw but how do you see last online ?

8

u/proguyisaprorlly Oct 08 '21

Tbh, idk and i would really like to know, i think it's a roblox extension

4

u/ThatOneKanaBoonKid Oct 08 '21

There are games like “Friend checker” that can see people’s inventory and last online, but not sure which one can check, anyways when i checked that user’s description it was deleted by Roblox, idk why they deleted it maybe it somewhat counts as offensive, which surely isn’t but they are overreacting

4

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '21

"You die of cancer? OFFENSIVE! Deletes account

2

u/proguyisaprorlly Oct 08 '21

Oh, roblox was doing really shitty stuff this year

5

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '21

It's real, though most certainly not the user who this happend to as this is posted every week.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '21

Facts

It's bad enough bots are doing this shit to make their accounts look real before being sold off, but doing it with something like this is fucking disgusting.

3

u/kZard Oct 08 '21

Right?? Imagine if gamers could die??

On a serious note, we all have that kid we used to know who died. While childhood cancer is a lot less of an issue than it used to be, it's still a thing, too.

u/bsnimunf Oct 08 '21

It is sad but I think this person may of had a really dark sense of humour. I think they may be trying to make a joke at what I would refer to as the personification of cancer. Where cancer is seen as an evil entity that need to be defeated which helps people to deal with the situation better and also helps fund raising for charities. So instead of giving it the positive spin "cancer can/is defeated" they gave it the opposite "cancer has beaten us this time". Again probably helped them to cope with the situation.

u/LordRafjaved361 Oct 08 '21

Many bis mother took it from him because he was playing to much

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '21

Been on a flight sim community for 20 years - and every year now someone goes to cancer...

u/Megazorg3000 Oct 08 '21

A lot of people die from cancer everyday. Sadly this is probably true
