Roblox may be enjoying success in many parts of the world, but it's currently in limbo in China. TechCrunch has learned Roblox temporarily shut down the Chinese version of its game platform, LuoBuLeSi, on December 8th for some "important transitory actions" needed to develop a future version.
No this is not clickbait, roblox actually got banned in China, no one that lives in the country of China will be able to play roblox.. #saverobloxchina #robl...
You can play LoL on Chinese servers. As for ping, it really is dependent on where you live. Without knowing your exact location, given that you are in Europe, I would guess your ping will be in the 200s, which is not optimal for competitive play.
Classic: Rocket Arena is the oldest Roblox game ever created and dates back to January 2006, when the game was still in Beta. Rocket Arena was a free for all fighting arena, which inspired many popular games that came after. Along with many of the earliest official Roblox games, Rocket Arena was shut down in 2017 for unknown reasons.
The Chinese government's new rules will limit those under 18 to playing video games with an online component for a maximum of one hour a day -- 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. -- on only Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. They can also play for an hour, at the same time, on public holidays. China's state media service says the rules aim to curb gaming addiction.
Roblox is already facing headwinds as economies reopen and kids return to school. The trend has shown up in the company's results with the aforementioned decreases in engagement. The difference here is that the China rules are still just announcements. It remains to be seen how they will impact gaming behavior in the region.
