=== Development and Beta (2004-2006) ===
David Baszucki and Erik Cassel founded Roblox, then known as Dynablocks, in 2004. After a year of development, Dynablocks was renamed ROBLOX and was launched into Beta in 2005. In 2005, people could gain the currency at that time, ''Roblox Points'', by completing single-player minigames developed by other users. In 2006, Roblox was officially released and its popularity skyrocketed.
