Entity #030 - Santa’s Perk Presents

Description

Entity #030 instances were a series of Christmas presents that began appearing in early 2007 in Santa's Winter Stronghold, ROBLOX's first major events at the time.

Unlike the normal presents, #030 instances were coloured in shades of grey, with the sphere on the top in any colour. Depending on the colour of the sphere, #030 would give the player a perk that would either be good or bad when touched. Some have been reported to tamper with the players' badges and virtual currency amounts. However, #030 instances couldn't be picked up on most occasions, making these perks more difficult to obtain. It's still unknown how exactly some players have managed to pick up #030 instances.

Below is the list of #030 instances with their sphere colour and their perks. There have been seven confirmed instances as of the time this document was made. The #030 instances are as follows:

Entity #030-A

Sphere Colour: Blue

Perk: #030-A gave the player a random badge that they didn’t have, with there seemingly being no limitations as to what badge the player can get, leading to the possibility that some may have received a badge relating to administrative powers.

Entity #030-B

Sphere Colour: Yellow

Perk: #030-B gave more points to the player than the typical present, alongside the player earning a small amount of TIX. Some players have stated that #030-B made the atmosphere brighter for a few seconds before fading out.

Entity #030-C

Sphere Colour: Red

Perk: #030-C was the most dangerous by far, as it has been reported that #030-C would add many WOs to the player's profile if they existed at the time. The atmosphere would also turn red, and the screen would glitch out, before forcing the ROBLOX player to close. On rare occasions, it has also made every player in the server explode at a random time.

Entity #030-D

Sphere Colour: Purple

Perk: #030-D made the player equip a random hat of any price, and would be kept worn until the player reset character or left the game. #030-D was one of the popular instances because of its unique perk.

Entity #030-E

Sphere Colour: White

Perk: #030-E would teleport the player to a location where a present is nearby, allowing them to get an easy steal on a point. This instance has had the reputation of not functioning properly, and instead, teleporting players to other locations on the map.

Entity #030-F

Sphere Colour: Green

Perk: #030-F would subtract a small amount of Robux and points from the player, basically having the opposite effect of #030-B. Not much further detail is here to say about this instance.

Entity #030-G

Sphere Colour: Pink

Perk: #030-G would give the player a new brick battle gear, mainly one that is already in their inventory. #030-G's gears would be coloured in full pink on the icon, exploding and killing the player if they click anywhere whilst equipping it.

At a certain point in time #030 instances would stop appearing completely until November 2007, where they started appearing more frequently. The sightings and the effects of #030 instances, especially #030-C, led to players reporting the game's "bug" to ROBLOX, which was then quickly patched as a result. Since then, no further sightings of #030 have been reported, as Santa's Winter Stronghold would slowly die out in popularity over the next years. The R.A team is still searching for any more instances of #030, and this document will be updated once the time comes.
