ROBLOX Now On iOS


20121216-154848.jpg

Roblox is already the number one entertainment site for kids, with over 9.8 million creations and over one billion page views and 29 million hours of game played every month. So how does Roblox become more popular? It’s simple, stupid. Release on the iOS!

Roblox is now available for the iOS. The app brings with it access to a smaller version of Roblox, including access to in-app purchases, character customization, manage their social network, and interact with their games. While builder’s club members will have access to all ROBLOX games on the iOS devices, while non-builders will only have access to a rotating selection of games that are known to be compatible with the device. You’ll need a newer iOS device to play, however. The list of supported devices includes the iPad 2 or newer, iPhone 4 or newer, and iPod Touch 5 or newer. All other iOS devices can access non-game features.

ROBLOX on the iPad might have a ways to go, but the version shown above appears to be running quite smoothly.

World of Warcraft on iOS Still A Possibility


As a reasonable person, I’ve always said that the day that major MMOs like World of Warcraft and Everquest are readily available on mobile platforms will be heralded as the day productivity died. That being said, Blizzard will not accept no for an answer, and is always on the lookout for a way to bring World of Warcraft to the iPhone.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Senior WOW Producer John Lagrave discussed the challenges involved in bringing a massive online game to such a small platform, from UI to controls, to chat and beyond.

“So we certainly look at that, but we just haven’t solved it. What we’ve done with WOW on mobile devices is very simplistic: view the armoury, you check your auctions – not just on mobile but also on web.

So it might be a while before you are explaining to your boss that you were only late from lunch because the Lich King was tanking more damage than usual, but if Blizzard has any say in it that time will be sooner than you think.
