From LEGO Clone to Avatar Evolution

Did you know? Roblox used to be an actual LEGO clone and nobody talks about it.

Back in 2006 when Roblox first launched, your avatar was literally just blocks stacked on top of

each other. Square head, rectangle body, stiff brick arms that stuck straight

out. No animations, no layered clothes, no accessories. You looked like

someone built you in five seconds with actual LEGO bricks. The entire community

called it LEGO Online because that is exactly what it looked like. Players would log

in and see these walking yellow blocks running around gray baseplate worlds. It was pure nostalgia

for anyone who grew up building with physical blocks. But here is the twist.
