Welcome to the Town of Robloxia (abbreviated as WttToR) was a roleplaying game created by 1dev2 on January 15, 2010. The game takes place in a town known as the Town of Robloxia, in where players can find a job, buy a house, and roleplay with other players. Following 1dev2's account termination, the game was set uncopylocked. The game was last updated on April 2, 2014, and around 2017, it was put under review.

Welcome to the Town of Robloxia is considered one of the most iconic classic games on Roblox, accumulating over 36 million visits before being put under review. The game once held the title as the most visited game on Roblox, until being surpassed by Base Wars: The Land. Welcome to the Town of Robloxia is also considered to have inspired other roleplaying games such as The Neighborhood RP by Q_Q.

A similar game Welcome to the City of Robloxia™ was also created by 1dev2, being set in a city instead of a town but sharing many aspects of Welcome to the Town of Robloxia.

Following the 2012 April Fools incident, 1dev2's account was terminated due to the account's involvement. It became apparent he previously created the account 1dev3 in 2009. On this account, he created the game Robloxity which is considered the successor to Welcome to the Town of Robloxia. On June 4, 2019, 1dev3 re-released Welcome to the Town of Robloxia on another game.

History[]

On January 15, 2010, the game was created by 1dev2.

Following the 2012 April Fools incident, 1dev2's account was terminated due to the account's involvement. The game was mostly left untouched, but on June 14, 2012, the game has changed to the starter map because jaredvaldez4 stole the game's assets and put them in one of his games, which had hit the front page. On June 29, 2012, the game was changed back to the original as well as being set uncopylocked, which led to the game being copied by many users, such as jaredvaldez4 and JuliusColesV2. It is unknown who did this, but many users say a site staff member set the game back to normal.

Around 2017, the game was put under review.

Setting[]

The game is set in a small town called the Town of Robloxia. It has a police station, a fire station, a medical clinic, and other industrial and commercial private companies. Such companies include a tower, a fire station, a gas station, a factory, a mall, a small airport that is only for VIP, a school, and a news HQ.

Locations[]

Badges[]

There are two badges: I visited 1dev2's Town of Robloxia! and Welcome to the Town of Robloxia™ VIP Badge.

Revival[]

After 1dev2's account termination, Welcome to the Town of Robloxia was re-released on another game by 1dev3 on June 4, 2019.

Target as it appears in one version of the game.

Because of the game being set uncopylocked which was not in control of 1dev2 at the time due to his account termination, many users have copied the game, usually modifying the game with changes to the style of the game as well as additions. Majority of these copied games are called, "Get a Job, Buy a House, Be Rich!", "Adopt and Raise a Cute Baby".

  • In 2011, jaredvaldez4 made a copy of WttToR, which has been visited by 2.7 million times and once occupied the front page of the roblox game. the game is currently under review.
  • In January 2014, JuliusColesV2 created a place called, "[Adjective] Town of Robloxia!" which hit the front page in the Summer of 2014. The place was exactly like WttToR but contained several free models added by Julius.
    ​Additionally, he had a copy on his old Julius5005 account. The JuliusColesV2 version also has about 2000 more upvotes and 8000 more downvotes, which means recently more players are visiting JuliusColesV2's than the original.
  • TXrangers222 made a game called "Different Town of Robloxia". Unlike the original, it didn't have a job choosing GUI. It has 9 extra buildings, and 1 extra model near the school is the playground. The school has an extra school bus and the factory truck was moved near the Target model. Similar to JaredValdez, all additions from the original are just free models swinging off the previous success.)
    This edition is still played and typically has at least 30 unique players on it and has accumulated over 1 million visits.
    The game can be found here: Different Town of Robloxia
    (Development for this edition came a close in July 2014)
  • In 2013, a user named Janlari created a game called Roblox Town. It was the usual baseplate until it came out, and he copied the whole game with a few additions, the game had 15 million visits, which was very popular and liked by many, and it became more popular than the original game. Janlari's account was terminated for unknown reasons. some say it's because he used to make clickbait ads and inappropriate models.
    The known additions were:
    • Extra Jobs (Such as Teenager, Racer, Farmer)
    • Addition of Cars, especially Racing ones.
    • Renaming plain buildings, such as ROBLOX MART to WALMART, and RESTAURANT to KFC.
    • Expanding the map by adding extra houses and more community buildings
    • Adding a hair changing, face changing and shirt changing shop opposite to the new jumbo houses
    • RP Name changing. (It's unknown when development came to a close.)
  • There are two copies to the game other than Janlari's game, which are called "Welcome to the Town of Robloxia" and "Have a family in the town of robloxia" respectively. The first one was a bland copy for others to enjoy because of the discontinuation of 1dev2's game. But the second one, similar to Janlari's Roblox Town, was also a game with additions, but not as major as Janlari's. It had an extra car shop, two extra jobs and renaming plain buildings, like converting RESTAURANT into MCDONALDS.
  • As of 2018 stardon is currently working on a revamp to the game using new Roblox features such as the new terrain system, textures, and dynamic lighting. It also addresses issues inherent with the original version such as GUIs not showing up on mobile properly.
    (Development for this edition came to a close in April 2018)
  • A remake of the game by Andrew7643 was made. Unlike JuliusColesV2 version, this version does not use free models. (Development for this edition came a close in May 2019)

  • In April 2020, ZOMBIEPO started their own rendition of WttToR, as of yet no official name has been chosen; using the original place as a template they are cycling through replacing every model with their own updated edition. Quote: "I intend to maintain the core nostalgia."

Trivia[]

This section is a trivia section. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections of the article.

  • This place has been stolen many times. In 2011, 1dev2 came forward with proof that he was the original creator. On David.Baszucki's profile, there is a previous copy of WttToR (originally the start of the stealing). When opening the place in Solo mode, a VIP Script can be found in the VIP Car. In the VIP Script, it is written '1dev2'.
    • It was stolen so many times, that most players don't know the origin. And it is renamed in Have a Family, Adopt and Raise a..., etc.
  • Welcome to the Town of Robloxia has the fastest visits growth in Roblox history. There was a long period of slow growth (around 400,000 and 500,000 player visits), but in January 2010, the game was full of people, and on March 13, 2011, it received 1,000,000 total visits. One month later in April, it had grown to 2,000,000 visits. It finally received 3,000,000 visits around late May 2011.
  • WttToR has not been updated for a while, so, there have been quite a few bugs including that a player cannot buy a house due to no 'Buy House' button. The player can easily spot this as the garage door will always be open. 1dev2's last update to the place before he was banned was bringing the VIP back. His account was then deleted due to the 2012 April Fools Incident.
    • One other glitch is when the player leaves the game or sells the house, the mailbox still says the players' name. If another player buys it, then their name will be mixed up with that player's name, although they can still sell their house, unlock their house's doors and open its garage.
  • Although not every player participates in this, WttToR was a notorious hotspot for online daters and roleplayers.
  • Along with Reason 2 Die by PlaceRebuilder, this is one of the only Roblox games to have been given a good review by the Raging Roblox Reviewer series.
  • In the earlier versions of the game, guns used to deal 5 damage, later down the line this was revised to only 'Police' & 'Criminals'; in the final edition, this feature was disabled entirely.
  • The Roblox Mart is a representation of “Walmart” and houses several goods that players can buy with the currency they earn from jobs.
  • When the player resets themselves, their car breaks and they need to get a new car.
  • The currency system and gamepass are no longer functioning.
  • There are two copies of the game other than Janlari's game, which are called "Welcome to the Town of Robloxia", and "Have a family in the town of robloxia", respectively. The first one was a bland copy for others to enjoy because of the discontinuation of 1dev2's game, but the second one, similar to Janlari's Roblox Town, was also a game with additions, but not as major as Janlari's. It had an extra car shop, two extra jobs and renaming plain buildings, like converting RESTAURANT into MCDONALDS.
      • Something similar happened to the second game, but the hack was different from the previous one, considering that when the hacking was going on, the game was covered by a black screen which prevented the player from seeing the map. After the hacking was finished, the game was fully peach and brown, fully covered with sand. The sky was also brown. It looked like a sandstorm had touched the town. This hacking scared many people because the whole brown atmosphere gave a feeling of a super scare. There are many predictions that hackings are going to take place regularly on those games.
  • If the player tries playing the previous Town of Robloxia's games or trying to play it in Roblox Studio, none of the GUIs work unless the player fixes the game.StarterGui.ResetGui.Example.Script script with a LocalScript that functions like the original. Also, money no longer functions in the game.
    1. Additionally, if the player goes to a script in Roblox Studio called "BanScript", they can see a list of players banned from the game as seen below, as well as 1dev2 and Playrobot, who were possibly the admins of the game.
    2. A good chunk of those banned players are alt accounts of the infamous "WhelenVortexR" which was a player that looked to bit-for-bit rebuild the map against 1dev2's interest, which is why he had multiple accounts of his banned from the game.
  • Welcome to the city of robloxia

    1dev2 also made a game called "Welcome to the City of Robloxia™", which is similar to the games Welcome to the Town of Robloxia and Robloxity. This game has been visited by 2.5 million times and has 50,064k favorites. It was pretty much the same game with the same vehicle and building sprites, but the differences were that this was in a coastal island city and the roads were long with many signals and parking lots, and houses were replaced with apartments.
    • Just like Welcome to the Town of Robloxia, this game is uncopylocked and now this game is currently under review.
