FAQ

What does “Obby” mean in Roblox?

Obby is short for “obstacle course.” It is one of the oldest and most popular game genres on Roblox where players jump between platforms and navigate through challenges.

What is the difference between Robux and in-game currency?

Robux is the real-money premium currency used across all of Roblox — for avatar items, game passes, and private servers. In-game currency only works within a specific experience and usually cannot be transferred or traded outside that game.

Why does the Roblox chat show hashtags (####)?

That means the chat filter “tagged” your message. Roblox blocks words it considers inappropriate, personal information (like phone numbers), and content not suitable for the audience age group. Players under 13 get stricter filtering.

What does “ABC” mean in Roblox?

ABC is not an acronym. Players type it to signal they are available or willing to participate in something. If someone says “ABC to trade,” reply “ABC” to accept. It is most common in Adopt Me and roleplay games.

How do I know if a trade is a W or L?

W means win (good deal), L means loss (bad deal). Check the RAP (Recent Average Price) of each item, consider current demand, and ask in trading communities. We publish trading value guides for popular games to help you decide.
