A malicious Roblox game causing frustration
A malicious Roblox game is instantly banning players and deleting accounts as players try to complete its challenges, with the platform’s community expressing frustration over the seemingly random bans and account deletions.
Players who attempt to play the Roblox game are being instantly banned, with in-game actions apparently triggering the banning mechanism. While some players have been able to complete the game’s challenges, others have lost their accounts and progress without warning, resulting in a permanent loss of their Roblox character and all of their belongings.
Players are reporting that they were playing the game normally when they were suddenly disconnected from the platform and faced a ban notification. In some cases, players have even lost their place in line while playing the game’s challenges, resulting in their characters disappearing into nothingness as they wait to face the game’s next obstacle.
“This game is a virus, and it’s spreading. Don’t play it,” warns one player, who claims to have lost his account after reaching the game’s third challenge. “I lost everything, all my hard work, all my gear, my levels, my medals, everything. I have no character, nothing. Don’t play it.”
“I don’t understand how you can lose your account by simply playing a game,” another player writes. “I know you shouldn’t trust random games but this was a game that was trending, and I worked so hard for my stuff.”
Players are reporting that they are facing the same bans and account deletions while playing the game, with the ban system seemingly triggered by in-game actions. While some players have been able to complete the game’s challenges, others have lost their accounts and progress without warning, resulting in a permanent loss of their Roblox character and all of their belongings.
While Roblox has a system in place to protect its community from malicious players, the platform’s players are now expressing concern over the game’s banning mechanism, which appears to be targeting players indiscriminately. Reportedly, players can be banned while simply waiting for the game to load or simply for standing next to a player who is experiencing a ban.
Players who have lost their accounts have also been unable to appeal the bans, with the platform’s community guidelines seemingly being violated by the game’s developer. The bans are also permanent, meaning that players will not be able to recover their accounts or progress if they choose to play the game.
The game’s developer remains unidentified, with Roblox also remaining silent on the matter.
