Roblox vs Minecraft. A dicussion going on for years. People have given bias results. Today this ends, because I am going to give an opinion on which game is better and a reasonable opinion, not some five second read. This will be split into 4 subjects; Pricing, Community, Personality and Gameplay.
Pricing
Roblox- Roblox is free to play at first, but could get boring especially if you want to develop (developing talked about later in Gameplay and Personality) games. Roblox has 4 plans of payment; NBC= Free
BC= $5.95/ Per Month
TBC=$11.95/Per Month
OBC=$19.95/Per Month
The payments are different because of how much of something you get. For example NBC gets to make 1 game. BC gets to make 10 games etc. Also included are allowance and items available to purchase.
Pricing
Minecraft- Minecraft is $20 for life.
Community
Roblox- The community of ROBLOX varies but the age is around 9-18 year olds. Alot of spam is on ROBLOX but most people dont take it on and don't continue to spam. It is easy to set up servers in ROBLOX, just a few clicks and BOOM its up for everyone to see. This doesn't mean it is easy to get players to play because of DEVELOPING. Developing is using ROBLOX Lua, the language used in scripting to design your games which enables anything to happen. This brings up ROBLOX's educational aspect especially if you want to program computers/video games later in your life.
Community
Minecraft- Minecraft's community really does vary as I am unsure because I have seen 9 year olds play it and grown men play it. It is safe to assume to age is between 9-45. I've tried to set up a server on Minecraft before and it was impossibly difficult. Having to enter my IP address and a whole bunch of other things that I don't remember by heart. Plus, the fact that MOJANG wants to know my IP address creeps me out. I don't need Notch dressed up in a Creeper costume finding me and appearing at my doorstep. Plus, Minecraft is hacked constantly meaning that my IP address can go to anyone in the world. For those who dont know what an IP address is, it is a license plate for computers sort of. And with it people can track you down.
Personality
ROBLOX- I don't think ANYTHING (exception for real life) can get any more personal than this. The fact that you mix and buy shirts, t-shirts, hats (and no normal hats) as well as pants is awesome.

So much more customization options are available.
Minecraft- Minecraft has very cool skins and capes available to download as well as texture packs, but ROBLOX has the same things and even more. As you can see my ROBLOX character has changed it's form. In Minecraft you are stuck with the blocky type character all though the skins are cool. And you can make your own hats and wear them unlike ROBLOX.
