MEGA place

MEGA places were games whose servers could hold up to 50 players or more with a reduced amount of lag than normal due to increased capabilities of the computation power with additional players. MEGA places used more of ROBLOX's server resources and were only allowed to be created by Builders Club (BC) members. MEGA places were officially released in August 2011 after several periods of testing with 100 players on ROBLOX's game testing sites. Groups often made their places 'Mega' as they could hold a lot more members of the group than a standard server.
== Removal of MEGA Place ==
MEGA places were removed sometime in 2014, most likely July 28. After this happened, all users were able to make places that could have up to 50 players. Sometime in 2019, all players max player count was raised to 100. As of July 24th, 2024; all users can put the max players count per server to 200, while Developer Forum members that opted in the beta program may set the maximum player count to 700. 
Personal servers, which were also a feature limited to Builders Club members, were automatically made a MEGA server. After an unknown time, they removed the picture symbolizing that it was a MEGA place. They did create, and keep the picture that shows that a game is a Personal Server. Not long after; Personal Servers themselves were removed June 8, 2016.

It was changed in 2017 to have only a max amount of 100 players.
