Guest 0 sighted!

I was at a game today, and I saw Guest 0!





I knew it wasn't a fake, because when I clicked on it, it didn't have the thing that said things like "Friend request". As you can see, it's legs are blue, but that's because I only just entered the server.

Have you ever seen Guest 0, 1337, 1111, etc?
Comment in the comments section if so!

Valentine's day items

Happy -late- valentines day everyone and in roblox there have been an amazing 8 new items named Red Sparkle Time Fedora, Brother Hood of the heart band, Valentines day 2012 cap, Adventure Girl -Pinktastic Edition, Heart Bandana, Valentie, Heart Hat and box of chocolates (the box of chocolates are gear.)

I bet everyone wants the new fedora it's a really nice red very shiny. The texture is good it goes with alot of types of clothing. It is very expensive at 10,000 R$. I give it a 9/10

With the brotherhood of the heart band its like that Naruto head band but instead it a big love heart. Very light pink it's just amazing. It's 100 R$ I give it a 7/10.

The Valentines day 2012 cap is very nice it has a good re-texture of the original cap and the 2012 cap has a a big heart on it as well as the head band ^.^  it only costs 10 tix very good looking cap a surprising 9/10 from me :D

Adventure girl - pinktastic edition, however, isn't very good. The hair clashes with the pink, I wouldn't buy this is I were you. 3/10

Heart bandana is pretty good, it goes with lots of clothes, mainly for girls. It's quite cheap aswell, so a 8/10.

Valentie is OK, it's cheap, it's alright. Good for buisness people. 7/10

Heart hat - It's OK, it's pretty cheap. It's got two hearts on what looks like some grass. 6/10

Box of chocolates looks good, it's a gear and it makes you faster. 8/10

Hat Review: Frost vision goggles


Frost vision goggles
 Frost vision goggles came out a few days ago and were made by Arbirator, the maker of R-News. This is a retexture of heat vision goggles, which are priced at 12,000 tickets. In robux that is around 1200R$. The frost vision goggles, however, are 5000R$. I prefer these to heat vision goggles, but it is priced MUCH higher than heat vision goggles. I love the icicles on the lens, and how the actual goggle box looks like stone, because it is frozen.

Retexture: 9/10 I love the retexture, it looks pretty epic. It is a little plain, though.
Mesh: 8/10 It looks pretty cool, and the straps on the back look cool as well.
How good it looks on people: 8/10 You have to be careful with how you wear this, because if worn incorrectly, your look could fail. This usually goes with the "epic look" if you get me. xD
Overall score: 8.5/10 An epic hat if you know how to wear it.

Nibbley's Limited Corner - Article two

Dark horns of pwnage
Sup guys welcome to Nibbley Limited corner, I have some news for you about the recent limiteds.

Dark Horns Of Pwnage I thought would fail, although it is staying at about 300 over original price. I found out these go well with almost any hat but I'm not buying due to lack of robux this week, if I were you and you wanted some horns buy them. But if you don't that's fine.
Wanderer vampire slayer


Another new limited i have seen is the Wanderer Vampire Slayer, It was only 20R$ so its high in profit prices seem pretty stable at around 350R$.




Ninja necktie

Ninja Necktie came out a few days ago was 50R$ and now its staying stable at no more than 275R$. A stylish tie for the secretive and stealthy.

Ninja master: Dojo of doom
The Ninja Master: Dojo Of doom is very high in profit as it was 500R$ and is now reaching about 3k. A very good stylish hat for anyone and fairly rare with only 350 in stock.

Advise on limiteds for me? Wanna know whether to buy or not? Just send me a message and I'll let you know!

Laters my Nibblets.

-------------------------------------
Thank you everyone for your patience for the next article, I have been extremely busy this week, but I should continue doing articles every day (or at least every two days) as normal. Once again, thank you. Remember, you can now comment without an email, so send your feedback. It'd also be great if you did the poll. If you can't see it, highlight it, and I'm going to try and fix that later on today. If you would like to send in a community article, pm starz4ever6 on roblox your article, and if it's long enough, has grammar, spelling and things like that, I will publish it for everyone to see. Also, if someone sends in 2 approved articles, you will most likely be asked if you would like to work for iNews. Thanks!

Nibbley's Limited Corner

Iluvnibbley456 is our new, and first limited item reviewer.
This is her first article:
Limited news now, new limiteds out today. They are: Steelshanks Armament and Creepy Zombie Monkey. I have tested these out and I have noticed they've sold out. Steelshank is reaching high but is staying at 1600R$ at the moment. And it looks like the Zombie monkey is remaining at 600R$ for a while.

Check back soon for the next article.
We listened, and we changed! From the poll results, 3/3 people said we needed to decorate more. And we did! The videos are now at the bottom, and a new poll is at the side. Of course, we will update from time to time with the look, because it's obviously not the best, but it's much better than the last. Also, please welcome our new co-founder, SaveDaSeals! He will be helping not only with articles, but with the design, and helping with ideas for this blog.

Gear review: Flying magic carpet

Wooow! I love this gear, because not only does it fly, it looks amazing, and it ripples when you fly! What's better? But, yes, as usual, it does come with a hefty price. If you're an obc investor, buying this should be pretty easy. But if you're a bc, and you don't have a good place or clothes to get money, then it'll take a couple of weeks to get this. But it is worth the money. Sadly, for nbc'ers (who actually have robux!), this is bc. It costs 700 robux.



As you can see in the above pictures, it obviously works. To control it, hold the gear, click, and use the wasd keys to steer it. Easy! It's kind of like the broom, but it's faster, and it looks much better. Not to mention it sparkles! (and ripples!)
Rating time!
Look: 10/10. I absolutely LOVE the look of this. And I don't say that very often! (OK, Maybe I do...)
Handy: 9/10 It's pretty handy for getting out of a tight situation, if, lets say, you're getting pwned by an epic sword fighter, of getting killed by a goblin. Not to fear! Magic carpet is here! It can also fly for a pretty long time, about 2 minutes, and it doesn't take very long to reload. Also, in the odd chance that an obby allows personal transport, you can easily get past most of the obstacles. (unless it's indoors and cramped!)
How good it does what it's supposed to do (fly): 10/10 It flies very easily and quickly, and it sparkles and ripples, while looking awesome at the same time! 
Altogether score: 9.5/10. This is a truly AMAZING gear, you should definitely get it!


Introduction to the fashion finder: Lazza219

Hi every one, I'm Lazza, I do the fashion finder part in inews. I'm going to soon start doing videos of me reviewing clothing (mainly hats) with the help of starz hopefully, because she records her own videos and they don't turn out bad, so fingers crossed she'll help me! I will be doing articles once a week at any time so just keep a look out. Thanks!

Place review: Journey to the Center of the Earth Cart Ride

If you think this is another boring and slow cart ride, think again. Journey to the Center of the Earth boasts a huge amount of texture detail, enourmous jaw-dropping intensity, and of course, the fastest speeds a cart can ever reach. This all packed when your racing down a steep hill, scenery a blur as you charge past.



I love this game, because it goes so fast! It can go from 100 speed to 500 in 15 seconds. It can go up to 1000 speed! That is, in a normal cart. You can also buy VIP for 30 robux or 40 tickets. I mean, seriously, it's not expensive. VIP get a teleport to winners, and a teleport to their own vip cart, that is gold and goes twice the speed! What could be better? I even bought vip, and I made a video to show the vip track, that you can watch on the RobloxiNews01 channel.

This game is very fun, and I would rate it 9/10. The only improvement I can think of is try to make it so you derail less, and add another track. But I love this game! What do you think about it? Say so in the comment section.

Package review: Bear suit

The bear suit makes you look like a bear. It can also make you look like a real human. If you are a boy you may like this because bears are furocious! If you live in California you may like this because bear is the state animal.  I think it is a unique "package" that is cool. I bought it and I think it is really cool as a customer myself.

Ratings:

Mesh: This is a very simple mesh, and doesn't go for girls or many outfits. For that reason, I am giving it a 5.5. However, if you can pull it off, it looks OK.

Price: 100 robux isn't a lot, but it's quite expensive for something this simple. I think it should be around 40-75 robux. So, for that reason, I am giving it  7/10

How good it looks on people: As I said not long ago, you have to be able to pull it off, or it won't look right. So, I'm giving it 6/10.

Overall score: 6.5/10

Trading system set to come to roblox

Some people might remember the notification we got last year about an official trading system coming. We don't know exactly when it is set to come, but I think it will be around this year, maybe early next year.

A lot of the backend work to support player to player item trading on ROBLOX is done. We’re trying to settle on a good front-end user interface. The feature we are trying to support is allowing Player 1 to trade items A, B, and C to Player 2 for items E and F – basically trade one “basket” of items for another “basket”. There are lots of usability considerations. Which of the following designs seems most useful to you?

Option A – “Real Time Face-to-Face Trading” Basically a trade works like this:
1.Send a trade request to a specific player, who must currently be online.
2.Player accepts trade request
3.Both players are brought to a trade screen. It’s basically a table. You drag stuff from your inventory on to your side of the table. The person you are trading with does the same.
4.Once the trade is acceptable to both parties, they click “Ok” a couple of times and the trade is completed.

Pros:
•Once you find someone to trade with, the trade happens pretty quickly
 •Easy to understand
•The personal touch is fun. You can wheel and deal. Offers and counter offers are fast.

Cons:
•You can only trade with players who are online
•You have to find someone “good” to trade with – they have to want what you have and have what you want. If you are looking for rare items, this can be very difficult.

Option B – “Bulletin Board Trading Post” In this system, players post offers that they would be willing to do to a giant list of currently offered trades. People browsing the current offers can click to accept the offer at any time. Basically, if I am interested in trading away my Domino Crown, I might post several trades:
•Domino Crown for Eerie Pumpkin Head
•Domino Crown for Crimson Catseye and Sparkletime Fedora
•Domino Crown and Got Milk Visor for Red Domino Crown and Sparkletime Fedora and Helm of the Secret Fire

These would go into a giant list of all the trades everyone on the site is willing to do. If someone has offered the opposite trade, like “Eerie Pumpkin Head for Domino Crown”, then the trade happens immediately. Most often, though, the trade will go into a giant list. People can search through that list based on either what they are looking for or what they have to trade. At any time, a person can accept one of the offers and the trade happens instantly. If you want to wheel and deal, you do so ahead of time via private messages or on the forums.

Pros:
•You can trade with people who aren’t online. Other people can trade with you when you are not online. This means more potential trading partners.
•Easy to find people offering rare items.
•Common trades (between like-valued objects) can be executed instantly, since you don’t even need to talk to another person.
•Offers are public, so everyone has a good idea of what different items are worth.

Cons:
•Complicated trades involving many items are hard to find matches for. Ex: A, B, C, D, and F for X, Y, Z, and Q.
•All trades are public – you don’t specify who on the other end you trade with.
•Harder to wheel and deal

Option C – “Send Specific Offers Through Private Messages” This is a lot like Option B except that there is no giant list of all trades. Everyone posts their want and have lists to a forum and you can send people trade offers via private message. They can either accept, in which case the trade happens immediately, or decline, in which case the trade obviously doesn’t happen. Perhaps there is capability to send a counteroffer or modification to the proposed trade if it is declined. The screenshot above is from the Magic Online Trading League, which is an example of this sort of system in action.

Pros:
 •You can trade with people who aren’t online.
•You can trade with specific people.
•Pretty simple to understand.
•Wheeling and dealing happens in a public forum, so it’s probably harder to get ripped off because someone will tell you a trade is bad.

Cons:
 •Takes a lot of “leg work” to find a good trading partner.
•Trading can be slow – by the time you hunt down someone who has the item you want, they may have traded it away already. It might take you 1-3 days to find out he doesn’t even have what you want any more.
•Have/Want lists posted to a forum doesn’t seem like a very advanced system.

 Forums were not built with the idea of trading in mind, and Option C makes a forum “the spot” where all the trading action happens. A dedicated interface would offer better affordances.


Option D – “Real Time Auction House Best Offer” There is a special “Auction House” page on ROBLOX.com. There’s a chatroom with a ton of people in it. There is one trade going on at a time. This is how it works:
 1.If you want to sell something, you wait in line, since only one person can be selling at a time. 2.When it is your turn, you put together a “basket” of items.
 3.Everyone else in the chatroom gets a chance to construct an offer “basket” – things they will give you for your collection.
4.As the seller, you pick which offer is currently winning. This is the “best deal” you have been offered for your set of items.
 5.Everyone else has the chance to top the best offer.
6.After 2-5 minutes of this, the auction ends. The current “best offer” wins and the buyer and seller exchange baskets.
7.A new auction starts.

Pros:
•A real time auction would be exciting for rare items or expensive sets of items.
•The buyer gets the best possible deal anyone present is willing to offer. So it’s hard to get ripped off.
•The results of the auction are public, so everyone has a good idea of what different items are worth. •This is a super easy way to unload 50 worthless items at the same time and get back something good in return.

 Cons:
•A real time auction would be boring for common items or cheap sets of items.
 •You can only trade with people who are: 1) online and 2) present in the auction house. This probably makes it harder to get the best possible price for a rare item that may not have many potential buyers.
 •When you want to trade, you want to trade. You don’t want to stand in line to sell items.
•If there aren’t enough buyers logged into the auction house, the whole system stops working.

Package review: Mr. Trololololo

Package review: Mr. Trololololo

Mr. Trololololo package
 Package name: Mr. Trololololo
It may not be a very good use for girls, but if you're a boy, and you happen to be particularly fond of trolling, this may just be the package for you! This was created on the 13th of January 2012, and has been bought over 2.2k times! As usual, it is bc only. It is 500 robux, and it includes the hat with it, which is pretty cool.
This is a really amazing package, and there is lots of detail on it, such as the skull shoulders. It's those small details that make a huge difference.

Ratings!

Mesh: 10/10

Detail: 10/10

How good it looks on people: 9/10

Overall score: 9.5/10

So, if you're a boy, and you like trolling (and you're bc, of course), you should buy this package, or at least, start saving up!
Place review: Deception infection



Another game by stickmasterluke. It has been visited over 700,000 times, and was created 8/6/2010. However, the only reason it has that many visits is because of a couple of loyal players. I, myself go to this game quite alot. What I love about it is that instead of you turning into a green zombie, it shows no difference whatsoever. If you are the infected person, your screen will go slightly purple. The object of this game is very simple; Don't get infected. If you're the first person to be infected, you're object is to infect everyone before the time runs out.

Another thing that is pretty cool about this game is, when the timer is set to around 9000, there might be a flood. This usually kills out alot of people, because if you drown you die. The only way to survive this part, is to go to the stairs. Eventually, the water will come to the stairs. Go on top of the scanner, but don't touch the top of the platform, because you'll die. If you manage to kill the remaining infected people without becoming infected or dying, you win, and get a badge!

I would rate this game around 8 out of 10.


Pros:
No one know's who's a zombie
It's fun to make people think you're a human, go in a room, and turn them into a zombie when you think no one is looking.
It bans people from the server who have -5 points

Cons:
When you think no one is looking, you walk out, and someone who saw you, kills you T_T
Some noobs kill for no reason.
Sometimes you are very bad at the game, get -5 points and get banned from the server.

Some posts by actual people in the comments:
Andypanda8 said...
Very good game, you never know who is infected! I would give it 4 out of 5 points total.
