Ultimate Guide to Roblox Private Servers
Imagine you’re playing your favorite Roblox game on a public server and you’re constantly getting griefed by random players. Frustrating, right? That’s exactly why Roblox private servers exist. They give you your own server, which is invite-only, meaning you can control who joins and who cannot, giving you a more personal experience.
Private servers were previously called “VIP Servers” and later got rebranded. It’s well known that Roblox has millions of daily active players and there are all kinds of players in it. A few are friendly and helpful, while a few are always looking to troll or grief other players. That is why creating a private server and playing with your friends becomes the best choice.
Understanding Roblox Private Servers
Most popular Roblox games have the private server option; it is up to the developer to enable this feature. Games like Fish It, 99 Nights in the Forest, Blox Fruits, Steal a Brainrot, Grow a Garden, etc., all have this feature.
How Much Does a Roblox Private Server Cost?
The cost of a Roblox private server depends on the game you want to play. For example, games like Fish It, 99 Nights in the Forest and Grow a Garden allow players to create a private server for free. Whereas games like Steal a Brainrot and Blox Fruits require you to spend Robux to create a private server.
You need 79 Robux to create a private server on Steal a Brainrot and 199 Robux on Blox Fruits. So, the cost of a Roblox private server completely depends on the game.
How to Create and Join Roblox Private Servers?
Creating and owning a private server is rather easy. Start by going to the game’s Roblox page and scroll down. Now click on the Servers tab; refer to the image for easier understanding.
Then select Create a Private Server from the top right. Depending on the game you’re playing, you will either be asked to pay Robux or create a server for free. Simply name your server under Server Name and click on Buy Now to finish creating it.
To join your private server, go to the game’s page and then click on the Servers tab. Here you will find your private server along with the list of all other private servers created by the community. Simply click on the Join button to enter your private server.
To join someone else’s private server, you need permission. The owner can click on the three dots beside their private server and go to Configure to control who is allowed to join.
- Turn Allow Joining on or off to allow players to join or make it completely inaccessible to others.
- Turn Connections Allowed on to invite your friends to join your private server.
- Under Server Members, click on Add People and add who can join your server by typing in their username.
- Finally, click on Generate under Private Server Link to get a shareable link with which people can directly join your private server.
Advantages and Disadvantages of a Roblox Private Server
Playing on a private server is great but it’s not always the best option. There are both benefits and drawbacks to playing on a private server.
Advantages
You can create a completely private server for you and your friends and make it inaccessible to random players. This way you won’t get griefed and you can enjoy the experience at your own pace. This also helps with trading in a few games and makes it easier.
If you’re creating content, for example a YouTube video, then having your own private server without any interruptions will make the process easier.
Private servers can also improve your game’s performance. Games like Grow a Garden, where there are multiple gardens with huge crops, can hinder performance. Playing alone on a private server will make your game lag less.
Disadvantages
Unless the game has a free private server option, you must pay a recurring fee of Robux every month to renew your private server. Depending on the game, owning a private server can sometimes become costly.
By playing on a private server, you’re completely isolated from the Roblox community, which is sometimes a bad thing. A lot of games are fun when played with others. You can share experiences, trade, help each other and a lot more. On a private server, you’re isolated unless you invite your friends.
Private servers can sometimes have limited game support or no special event access. Take Steal a Brainrot as an example. When the game reaches a certain number of likes, Brainrot Gods spawn. However, they only appear in public servers. If you are in a private server when the likes target is reached, no Brainrot God will spawn.
Wrapping Up
So, that is everything you need to know about Roblox private servers. They are a great option if you want a troll-free experience and prefer playing with selected people, but make sure to also play with friends or the Roblox community to enjoy the game fully.
