A recent scam has targeted Roblox players through a fake Roblox RTC Discord server, leading to account hacks and compromised personal data. The server, which had over 6,000 members, used a fake verification bot to steal user credentials, particularly through a fake Rover bot for account verification. This malicious server, managed by an individual under the alias “Grace,” has no affiliation with the official Roblox RTC, which quickly issued warnings to alert players of the ongoing scam.
Fake Roblox RTC Server Exposed
The scam involved a highly convincing fake Discord server that used the Roblox RTC name and branding to lure players in. Once inside, the fake verification process compromised users’ Roblox accounts. The server was fully boosted and even had a verified check mark to seem more legitimate. By impersonating Roblox’s official account, the scammer made it difficult for users to distinguish between the real and fake servers.
While the server’s creator appears to have vanished after Roblox RTC raised awareness, many players who fell victim to the scam are still awaiting the recovery of their accounts. Unfortunately, those affected may experience delays in regaining access to their profiles.
Roblox Video Assets Update
In other Roblox news, the platform recently introduced new localization features. Roblox creators can now upload video assets localized in Spanish, allowing for broader reach across different language-speaking audiences. This update is part of Roblox’s ongoing effort to make the platform more accessible globally, with new language features continuing to roll out.
Localization Tables and Event Leaks
Roblox also announced changes to localization tables, a tool used to translate content across different languages. One notable update is the shift from public to private assets, which effectively puts an end to one common method of leaking Roblox event information. In the past, event names and themes were often discovered through localization tables that were accessible to the public. With this change, Roblox ensures better control over event information, reducing premature leaks.
Roblox Stars Program Application Update
The Roblox Stars Program, designed to support creators with special benefits, has closed its application process for 2024. Applicants who submitted their forms will hear about their application status in October 2023. Those who missed this round will have another chance to apply in 2025, according to Bloxy News.
Unfortunately, many creators, including popular YouTubers, missed the deadline. The program offers exclusive perks for top Roblox influencers, so its closing has left some creators disappointed.
Roblox Profile Glitch: Players Left in the Dark
A significant glitch recently affected Roblox profiles, leaving players frustrated. This bug removed essential information from user profiles, such as favorite games, groups, and badges, displaying only friends lists and experiences. Many users feared this change was a permanent redesign, though most believe it’s a temporary bug.
Roblox users have voiced concerns over this glitch, particularly as it diminishes the profile experience by hiding key information that fosters community interaction. While Roblox has not yet issued a formal statement, players are hopeful that this issue will be resolved quickly.
Weird Mobile Bug Annoys Players
Mobile players have also encountered an annoying bug on Roblox. Some users have reported that games on mobile are shifted to the right, leaving a black bar on the left side of the screen. This bug, likely caused by issues related to screen notches on certain devices, has left mobile players frustrated with their gameplay experience.
Although Roblox has not yet confirmed whether this is a bug or a new feature, players have taken to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction. Some believe that it might be related to Roblox’s handling of different phone models with screen notches, but for now, the issue remains unresolved.
Roblox Accidentally Reverts to Old Font
Another minor but notable bug on Roblox occurred when the platform’s website reverted to its old Gotham font. This change happened accidentally and was soon corrected by Roblox. While the font issue was not a major problem, it brought back some nostalgia for users who preferred the old look.
KreekCraft Leaves Pixel Playground
One of the most significant announcements from the Roblox community is KreekCraft’s departure from Pixel Playground and Misfits. Citing creative differences and his desire to pursue personal projects, KreekCraft announced on Twitter that he would be stepping away from both Pixel Playground and Misfits.
Misfits, an esports organization, owns Pixel Playground, a Roblox-focused branch involved in content creation and game development. KreekCraft’s decision to leave comes as a surprise, as he was one of the channel’s key personalities, alongside popular creator Carl Jacobs. Fans of KreekCraft are now eagerly waiting to see what personal projects he will focus on moving forward, speculating that he may work on Roblox games or other content.
