Posted on Reddit by whitezombieda, a settings screenshot was shared on theRobloxsubreddit, and the thread asked the game’s devs for a new username feature to be added. The screenshot showed the option for users to change their username chat color, and players were disappointed that this feature wasn’t accessible already, similar to anothercomplaintRobloxplayers had about the username change costs. Currently, username chat colors are automatically picked at random, giving players a small chance of obtaining their desired color.
Roblox Players Want to Pick Their Own Username Chat Color
The community is very vocal about issues popping up on the platform, includingRoblox’s unrated error issuethat arose recently, and Redditors were trying to crack the UI’s algorithm for assigning username colors. Some players noted that they had been lucky to receive their favorite color after creating their username, and others revealed that they had grown to love their given color. Most embraced the color they were given, claiming it as their identity, but some, unfortunately, despise their given color, with particular hate being given to the “ugly tan” tone. Therefore, players are keen for the developer to add this feature so they can escape the colors they hate.
Staying on the topic of chat,Robloxended the Legacy Chat Servicerecently, converting to a Text Chat Service that left many users disgruntled. The player base was concerned that the removal of Legacy Chat would affect older admin games, but the developers confirmed that the change was enforced to respect the parental controls currently in place. The team also warned the community that further changes could be implemented to support future safety and legal requirements.
