On October 28, 2021 near Halloween, the popular game ROBLOX was experiencing some misfortunate bugs and events at around evening. The website was experiencing some maintenance and has been the longest recorded time the website was shutdown, clocking in at around 51 hours as of October 30, 2021, the night before Halloween.

ROBLOX is a metaverse where you can create and play user generated games from people all around the world from different developers and communities for mostly free, expect user-paid games like Bloxburg.

At around evening, the website was doing normal traffic and gaming, when some users started reporting that there characters were either a noob or a grey character for some users on mobile. The next hour, people were reporting that the website was unplayable and “impossible to navigate”, due to the website giving everybody a 403 Bad Request. The ROBLOX Twitter account @ROBLOX realized and informed the community. Later, it was informed at the Roblox Status website.

At around the fourth hour, ROBLOX shutdown and gives a page saying, “We’re sorry for the inconvenience. We’re making things more awesome”. At around afternoon, some were given limited access but failed at joining or failed at data save.

The reason was due to an internal system bug found in the data stores. Some people say it was due to a game called Chipotle’s Boorito Maze, because the game was overfilling by players and lagging a lot for people. But this is not the case and many people believe this is the case.
