the spore glitch stuck out to me for being incredibly specific and unlikely to trigger, and then getting patched so soon like it was top priority that gamers be able to play spore and roblox at the same time

Though you weren't including game exclusive glitches, I remember there was a phantom forces glitch many years ago where if two players went prone on top of each other, they would start to levitate. Me and a friend had lots of fun sniping from cranes you weren't supposed to get to.

Kind of crazy how much Roblox (and by extension internet history) has been lost through a lack of archiving.

There are many glitches not included in the video related to rthro packages. Certain combinations of rthro packages can allow you to increase your jump height by a large margin and even allow you to jump through extremely thin walls. There are even some packages that allow you to easily glide along walls and launch yourself extremely high using slopes and slightly angled walls.

Correction: It has been patched, however now it makes your avatar just a bunch of polygons. (which is another glitch)

I just wanted to add a glitch. Around March 2020 to early 2021 I want to say there was a no clip glitch that worked in any game where if you equipped and unequipped any item rapidly, you walk through any wall.

[lemoncreme]

i remember in a game called vampire hunters 2, there was a small hamster yet dog like cage in one of the maps. if you sat down in front of the cages opening while someone pushed you inside of the cage from the outside, you could glitch inside of the cage and move around slightly. i remember it being able to hold at least like 5 crouching people. unfortunately you either had to remain in the cage until the round ended or wait for the vampire to pull you out by another glitch.

Genuinely interesting video! One that you should have mentioned is all the “same account logged into from different device” kick message. This message will show up for a multitude of reasons that aren’t what the message actually says, including if you leave and rejoin a game quickly, if you got banned whilst in game or (more uncommonly) if your WiFi is choppy in game.

2007 Roblox was so jank and fun. I remembered messing around trying to clip through walls, fling players around, and trying to fly using your avatar alone. I'd like to add there was also a glitch around 2014-2015 where you could basically jump higher using a sword or item by equipping and unequipping it very fast while jumping. It was really fun going to places where nobody could reach lol. Other than that, it's great seeing these glitches again after all these years.

Thanks for the video!

[NotSecar]

i still remember when you can get a keyboard autoclicker on an object, with the keybind 1, 2, 3, etc..

remember using it in piggy to clip through walls. the good times...

[backprints]

you're an absolute legend for this one - my favourite part of roblox was the glitches, bringing back some great memories with these, thanks g x

[HolloTheRaven]

I remember discovering the voxel wallhop glitch! I also found a (very pointless) glitch that caused the camera to roll 90 degrees and slowly sway in circles. I'm _pretty_ sure it was an issue with Roblox's default camera logic but I was 12 and too dumb to look further into it.

Cool video! Was fun to see what I recognized and learn about more weird ways that people managed to break the game

[Lanausse]

I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but If you spam drop all your gears and pick them up really fast by walking forward Roblox might glitchout and make you hold a gear while not having it in your inventory. With this you can walk up to players and "Grab" them as they are able to pick up the item

[ashthewolfdog]

the layered clothing glitch is one of the glitches i personally like. i use it to make my avatar look fat. because i just liked the look of making my avatar look fat, thinking it looks cute. honestly if they patch it, i would like a way to be able to modify the weight of your avatar, body mass kinda like how you can do in the sims to your sims characters.

The float glitch with btools has had many variations over the years. the specific one of attaching a part to you worked up until about 2010 when it changed to getting on a part that you have picked up and looking down/up you'd start to fly similar to other games.

[Kennuckle]

I joined Roblox in 2008 when I was a wee lad. It's so nostalgic going back and seeing all the glitches I used to exploit and encounter!

[bigearsinc.]

The way I usually explain the floating point bug is that everything is a 3 dimensional point in the game. Like a graph, but with an extra dimension. The points that make up a 3d model are too. At some point the numbers for each point are too high and it causes the computer to basically estimate where the points are. Causing everything to deform.

This description is pretty close to what you said in the vid, but if someone finds this useful your welcome.

[pretendurzyz]

I remember there being another possible variant of the plane glitch around 2010 when I first joined. You could attach objects to yourself and if you did it a certain way (I believe by sticking it to your chest?) you could fly around by walking into it haha. My aunt and I would create wings and turn ourselves into Pokémon and fool around with the flying in this one game called "The Fire Sea".

[claysoggyfries]

The wall fling glitch was the best. I learned it while I was in one of those sword fighting groups. It was a really fun glitch

[bugjams]

I would LOVE a video on VIP/gamepasses in early Roblox games, and their evolution. I remember having to buy and wear a specific t-shirt in order to access VIP rooms or special content (like those Pokemon morph games giving you legendary Pokemon for wearing a certain t-shirt). Maybe you could also look at the various ways VIP rooms were defended, I think that would be an incredibly niche but interesting topic. Most VIP rooms were just boxes with doors that killed you unless you had the t-shirt, but I remember some that got more creative with it.
