283892

I had started playing Roblox again in October of last year. It had been quite a while since I've been on the platform, since I quit and ventured out onto other video games.

Recently I was like, "hey, why not try this out again?" and logged on for the first time in a long, long, time. I saw tons of the old games I played back then, most of which were either tycoons or obbies. Some adventure games here and there. Surprisingly, save progress for some of the games I played back then still existed, which surprised me a bit because I would've expected all of this save data to be gone. You should see all the things I grinded up for back then, tons of things! Shows how much I loved Roblox in the good ol' days.

One game I remember playing (and loving) the most was "Kohl's Admin House". Man, trolling people there all time always made me laugh. Of course, that would backfire occasionally and karma would serve it's justice toward me so in order to avoid that, I just had to join a different server haha. I felt like the coolest dude ever (also had the Permanent Admin Gamepass too!) exploding other people, rocketing them into oblivion, and also spamming commands.

After I had finished drifting through the games I liked to play in the past, it was time to play Kohl's Admin House. I joined the game a few hours before the major website outage happened for about 3 days, so I noticed that there were only about 1-2 players online. I remember the website was spazzing out a bit at this point – I assumed at the time it was just some casual site issue. Keep in mind, this was mid-afternoon EST, before Roblox would go down.

Anyways, a few connection issues later, I had finally got into the game. However, things seemed really sketchy right off the bat. The whole entire map was literally covered in bright green, with the house walls eerily looking "corrupted-like", don't really know how to describe that. Anyhow, I noticed there was just only two players in the game, me, and a player called 283892. I tried chatting to the user but to no avail, as chat was somehow not working for me. A few seconds later, I noticed 283892 "communicate" using the "name me" command, I think. I couldn't see chat but yeah I'm pretty sure that's what that person was using to "chat" with me. The first thing that appeared above the user's head were a few random symbols, then numbers being cycled across the head and then "283892" was back as the user's nametag. My character suddenly froze up, and keep in mind, I could not reset myself because of course, chat would refuse to work. My game had then suddenly spiked in lag for about a minute afterwards, and then various offputting, creepy music would start playing from volumes ranging to faint, or extremely loud. I instantly left the game right after the music started playing, asking myself "What in the hell is going on?". A few minutes later, I noticed there were 0 players on the game, and I decided to re-join again.

The same user was there. Everything was green and weird from the previous server. I am telling you, this was a completely new server. A few seconds later, I was teleported to a game called "283892". The skybox was some type of rotating storm with a dark-greenish hue to it. My character was literally just in the air (no ground beneath me by the way) looking hopeless whilst the "entity", yeah, let's refer to this thing as an entity, started talking to me in numbers and symbols in chat. I couldn't decipher a thing it was saying, but I am sure those numbers and etc. had a meaning behind them. The offputting music from Kohl's Admin started to play again and then I was kicked out to an error message, music and all gone as I disconnected. At the home page, I clicked on the game that I had been teleported to, which redirected me to a Bad Request page. I would continue to do this numerous times trying to visit that game page until something significant happened.

"Roblox Err 5761746368696E67 596F75 283892" top-left-center on the webpage, which background was all white and that text in black. For the third and final time, I could hear the music that was being played numerous times earlier very faintly, and my computer would shut itsself down. I would turn it on a second later to be welcomed to a blue screen. I noticed my files were luckily unharmed as I rebooted my computer. After all of this had occured, I had decided to play other games on my PS5 and attempted to forget what had just happened. A few hours later, I opened up Google Chrome as soon as I woke up my computer from sleep mode, and tried going onto roblox.com. The outage had just begun. I was dumbstruck and tried to process on what the hell had just happened to me earlier. Did this just happen to me? Or did it happen to anyone else? I took screenshots of this situation while in Kohl's Admin House right before the outage, so this is pretty much the only proof I had of me encountering this anamoly. I also did manage to take a screenshot of the error page very quickly, as shown to your right. The number 283892 returns to me in the form of an error on that page, spooky stuff. I also tried searching up if this anamoly ever interacted to anyone else during this ordeal but I'm pretty sure, somehow, there was absolutely nothing to be found about it.

A few days later, The outage was then finally over as November began, and I re-joined Kohl's Admin House to a normal server, with just people using commands. I have not seen anything suspicious ever since the day of the outage. This may sound cliche, but who knows what in the hell that "entity" was trying to convey toward me. Personally, I think that thing may have had something to do with the outage, but it's all speculation from this point.
