This isn't the first time that Roblox has become inaccessible to players without any prior warning. Regardless, the community's response to such outages is always full of shock and disappointment.

Despite being released over 15 years ago, the online game creation system is popular among millions. This explains why the outage has been trending on Twitter for hours.

Players who haven't been able to access their games lately should not worry about getting banned or hacked. Thousands of users have reported similar issues on Twitter, and here are some of the reactions.

A plethora of players have been unable to access Roblox's website since the morning of May 4, 2022. They have reported issues such as infinite redirects. Only a handful of users are able to navigate the site at the moment while it keeps crashing for others.

Users who have been able to surf the website feel it is slower than usual.

Veterans will remember a similar server outage back in November 2021, which led to rumors that the game was being shut down altogether. It took three days for the developers to fix the outage, and understandably, the entire incident caused severe backlash from fans.

It is evident that players around the world are anxious to access their accounts once again. However, the best they can do till then is wait and trust the developers.

At the time of writing, several Twitter users stated that the server outage was fixed. However, the developers are yet to confirm the same.

From the looks of it, the latest server outage will be much less severe than the one that happened in 2021, and players might not have to experience a three-day shutdown this time.

Overall, the 10-hour shutdown scared players out of their wits. Although the online game creation platform is growing at a steady rate, the community tends to be wary of it shutting down permanently due to frequent outages.
