One of the benefits of registering an account at Roblox.com is getting your very own "place"; a fully editable location on the website where you have the option of either showcasing your creations to the world, or limiting access to only your friends.


The Default Place

 
The default place for a new User begins as a house.

The default place is a happy home in ROBLOX (as seen to the right). "A Happy Home in Roblox" is one of three default places a player has the option of choosing from. In addition, a User is given offline editing access to their place, as well as access to the Roblox Studio for further manipulation.

Place Configuration

Description, Title, and Settings

The player is allowed to give an appropriate description and title to their place, which will be publicly displayed, as well as a list of options to manipulate access their place, choosing the theme of their place, and limiting the ability of other people to copy their place.

Player Limit

 
You can change the number of MaxPlayers here.

Classic Place

A classic place allows you to change the number of MaxPlayers easily. When updated, all servers will have the designated number of MaxPlayers. Because you can change the number of MaxPlayers right from the place configuration, this renders the older method, opening up your place in ROBLOX Studio, and changing the MaxPlayers property under the Players service, obsolete. Currently, the number of MaxPlayers for a classic place is capped at 20 players.

Mega Place

Mega Places allow you to have more than the normal amount of MaxPlayers in one server. Currently, Mega Places can have up to 30 users in a server, but ROBLOX plans on having up to 100 players in a server. Right now, this feature is a BC Beta feature, meaning only Builders Club members can use this feature for now.

Turn comments on/off

 
You can change whether people can comment on your place here.

When turned on, people can choose to comment on your place, which can be seen next to the 'Games' tab. When turned off, the 'Commentary' tab will go away and people can no longer comment on your place.

Chat Settings

 
You can change whether people can comment on your place here.

The Chat Settings section allows you to choose between 3 options of chat: Classic, Bubble, or Both. Classic chat is a more common way of chat, where user's chat go to the top-left corner of your screen. Bubble Chat is a newer type of chat, where the user's chat show up in a 'bubble' on top of their head. The 'Both' option allows you to have both Classic and Bubble chat in your place.

Reverting / Rewinding Unwanted Changes

Should a user make an unwanted change to their place, they can revert it to whatever state they previously had it in via their place's configuration page. Remember, whenever a person visits a user's place, the changes made online are never saved!
