This is a Downfall of the game, "Roblox Islands," some information may vary against real facts, some may be opinions or guesses/estimates.

the downfall started with weekly updates that were focused mostly on economy and giving new extremely rare items

[JustANormalPerson]

The economy changes were too crazy, it went from industrial to washing machine being 800k to now 130m.

Roblox Islands holds a place in my heart, I will always remember starting my islands with my 2 Cows named Bessie & Buttercup, & My chicken Henry, and I made many friends. I’m gonna miss this game getting updates.

Be honest, this roblox game gives nostalgia when we were new smelting irons on the smelter cuz we were too poor to buy industrial smelter..

[foxdevil]

Oh man I remember those hours spent with my best friends from 3 years ago grinding pink sticky gears to finally get our first Industrial Smelter. I remember the rush of dopamine when we broke through 10m coins. I remember the panic of noticing that we only had 2 days left to get christmas tokens and buy the trophy to sell to a shop owner for 250m. I remember the day that we logged on to see all of our coins gone, all of the totems from my amazing multi-million coin per hour auto starfruit farm lost, and a new levels system that rendered our Guilded-Steel pickaxes completely useless. I remember the pure excitement of the Diamond Boss update (cant remember his name), and I remember the intense frustration of when nobody would spawn it. I remember the excitement of crafting our first Rage Blade which we shared and took it in turns to use against the monsters. I remember the pure wonder of exploring the Wizard Island, and then annoyance when we realised that our Rage Blades were no longer useful there.

I didn't know it then, but I made so many happy memories with my best friends (who I am no longer in contact with). I would pay a lot to go back to those times.

I used to play islands 24/7 and i made alot of core memories bit the reason why i left is i guess that it started to feel overwhelming from all the updates, and after a while i felt as if the updates were pointless and when they updated the main islands i found it hard to adapt to it, I spent 40% of my time just looking for the portal.
Islands will always be a core memory of mine, remember chilling in the first main hub listening to the og music. Counting down the time to the Kong Event or checking out the new mailbox update or checking out their new game "bedwars"

[alexdaburrito]

This game was one of my favorites in 2020, and its so sad to see it become another game that gets left to rot, i came back to the game very recently and started a new islands with my friends and the game is so different. The hub island is way bigger than i remember it being, most islands dont look anything like they used to, except for slime island, and everything is based off a forced progression system due to the leveling system. I will always remember spending 5 hours in the lake getting the aquamrine for the spellbook even if it was painful

[matsubarapaulo]

it also constantly lags every time and kicks you out in mobile devices

[EntropyOfMurder]

I played the game a few months after launch and was an active player until the mastery update. The game went from fun grinding to grinding for the sake of grinding for me.I tried to keep playing but at some point it was just to boring for me.

[justinspinoofficial]

I hope they transfer game passes if they ever create a new one. This was my childhood.

[Michael_]

I took a break from this game for a few years, and joined back to realize how corrupted the economy became, I remember when smelters were a million coins are 2 million, I had items that cost 200x or more the price it originally was, R.I.P this game, it will never be the same

[caveman_mcrock]

TLDR: devs got greedy + bedwars was more sustainable

[topsybow]

btw if anyone is wondering there is going to be a islands type game but its not make by the makes of islands, its from a YouTube called dv

[brandonfamilybb]

its sad how islands got an down fall and how there's duplicators that will find any way to dupe thank you for the video.

[Pet-simulator-corgis]

as an islands go whenever I play islands, or see on my recommended or see videos about it I feel sad knowing that it won't update anymore

[ivopiatkowski]

Here in August/September of 2024 dv plays, who used to be the biggest islands content creator released his new game which is called high realms, it's just like islands but challenging and engaging, I recommend checking it out to anyone who wants to start playing Skyblock like games.

[DomS]

Islands or should I say, skyblox or skyblock was my go to roblox game back then. Sad they stopped updating. Also there's a game called "Islands Archive" and it perfectly replicates how the OG islands looks like. I'll personally grind the game again because the original island is in shambles with how inflated the price is for everything and since the OG island is much much simpler.

[sgqlnku]

island has alway hold a special place in my heart, i remember when it still called sky block, back then the game was simple and fun but then slowly after bed war came out everything just went down from there, the game start to become more grindy and unfun

[landonmeyer]

honestly the amount of freaking inflation is crazy i used to remember shops being 100 for cry iron but now its like 1mil

[Gajman_gaming]

This game was very close to my heart and a very huge part of my life so far between th playz and dv playz inspiring to start my own channel this game was amazing i miss the updates already and miss og islands on top of it
