== Getting Started ==
ROBLOX is a casual virtual world.  Every user has a [[Character]] and a [[Place]].


A Place can be modified in two ways. Generally, a user will modify his or her Place by [[Visit|Visiting]] from the ROBLOX web siteWhen you visit your own places, the changes that you make persist until the next time you (or anyone else) visits your place.

When you visit someone else's place, changes that you make do not persist.  This means that you can destroy or play around in someone else's place without losing their initial setup.

When Visiting a place, a small number of tools are available, including Move, Duplicate, and Destroy.  A Brickyard is appended to a user's Place to provide raw material for building.  The Insert menu may be used to insert Things (ROBLOX Models) from the ROBLOX web site.
