2012 was a big year for ROBLOX and the users. Along
with the many product releases and events that came along, ROBLOX has released a bunch
of new gear and saw our users create a bevy of new and unique ROBLOX games. I
thought I’d take a look back at the top 15 most popular games of 2012 and,
while I'm were at it, dig up some item and gear statistics as well. Remember, I'm only counting data from 2012 — some of these popular games have millions
more visits when you consider their lifetime stats.Most Visited Games of 2012

The most popular game of 2012 was d4rk886‘s Base Wars: The Land, with more than 15 million game
plays. It features about 30 character classes and, on top of that, vehicles to
pilot and special weapons for each class that you can unlock through play. On a
typical afternoon, Base Wars: The Land is typically in the top 10 games on the
Games page. The game owes its longevity to a high amount of replayability, due
mostly to the branching number of choices players can make as they accrue points
in the game (a topic ROHLOX has touched on before — if you’re looking for tips on how
to make your game more replayable, check
out a ROBLOX article).
Comparing the top games from this past year to the top games of 2011 yields some interesting results — only three of the top games on the list were on both lists. This speaks volumes about our platform –some games get it so right that they can stand the test of time. But with so many new and innovative games constantly flooding the Games page, this is a rare occurrence. Call of ROBLOXia: ROBLOX at War, Base Wars: The Land, and Rollercoaster Into a Black Hole Obby stood the test of time, appearing on the top 15 list for two years in a row.
Let’s move on to gear. I decided purposely to exclude gear items that were promotional because those items were free, and I want to know which gear sold the most over the course of the year. Here’s the list.

Body Swap Potion – 26,321 sold
