A fan recently found the code for the algorithm that Pyritium uses to calculate your level, so you can try it out yourself if you want: math.floor(30 * (-1 / (1 * accountYears * badges + 0.365) + 1) + (10 * (-1 / (friends / 200 + 1) + 1) + 15 * (-1 / (followers / 3000 + 1) + 1)) + (25 * (hats / (hats + 4)) ^ 2 + 2 * (hats / (hats + 5)) ^ 2) + 50 * (-1 / (1.2 * placeVisits / 25000 + 1) + 1))

I honestly am fascinated by the amount of effort you put into these OG Roblox videos, I wish I’d found you sooner.

[@billarthur1963]

ong this guy is actually underrated he puts wayy to much work into his videos for him to have under 50k subs

[@gurvb]

@@billarthur1963 not like these cringy roblox youtubers putting the roblox logo outlined in white on a random corner just to play a stupid overrated game

[@cxlciummmiv]

I'm glad that someone makes dedicated videos to the old age of Roblox. It's sad that I can't enjoy this game the same way I did back in 2012, but atleast I'm stuck with some fond memories.

[@cohortes1095]

My friend Keyrut was given a lifetime OBC subscription for making a well-developed UNSC group in ROBLOX's early history by Telamon when John Shedletsky still worked for ROBLOX.

[@Nitrolord]

That's so cool what

[@ThatDigitalDemon]

omg thats awesome

[@kibby8823]

I hate that I was born only 2 years after roblox was created but I just watched gmod and play Minecraft 💀

[@segggplant8315]

i was born 53 years before roblox 💀

[@redarke]

Bro ur just like me i was born in 2008 and now am wishing if there is a way i can go back in time being in the same body that i was and age but the diffrince is that i can still go back with the same brain an thoghts the i have now

[@Ambusher86]

I was actually on the ROBLOX HQ forums back when they were still up! I'll say this, while they definitely had a better community than the ROBLOX forums did, they still had their fair share of bad apples, even before the infamous April 2011 incident that led to clockwork shutting the forums down (though you've pointed out that the cost of the servers might've contributed too. I do remember ROBLOX HQ being temporarily replaced with a GoDaddy parking page back in March 2010). Nevertheless I'll always have some memories from the ROBLOX HQ forums! As a sidenote, some ex-RHQ user (I believe his name was Milez though I'm not 100% sure) tried to make a site called RockHardQuarry as a replacement forum after the RHQ forums shutdown in 2011, though this site didn't really get anywhere.

[@Milez1337]

you're in luck that the man himself managed to see this. i'm pretty sure i was never the owner of RHQ replacements however in one or two of them i did get picked as a mod/admin of them. there's unironically been like 3 or 4 of them because rhq's remnant's would get in a fight with whoever was operating the newest one and run off to make their own one with blackjack and hookers. i can't tell you who was the owner of those offshoots (it was a different guy every time), and i've spent the rest of my life trying to forget about it. the site was okay but it also left every single one of us with a psychosis for life.

[@MikalRoblox]

Great video, but I would also make one for total item value, not just limiteds, like onsale, and even offsale items (for the price they were orig listed at), and then limiteds as well, because the overall value of the account should be included. Great video regardless its just something i'd like to see included in a new calculator.

[@Nitrolord]

That's a good point. I think the optimal calculator could also include some sort of points-value system for valuing offsales/event items based on rarity, age, etc, but that would be pretty hard to implement.

[@MikalRoblox]

@@Nitrolord yes It wouldn’t be easy but it is necessary

[@zachf710]

as an adult who lives through his video game glory days from the late 2000s and early 2010s, your videos and research on the communities we had make me feel like i really was apart of something. roblox was a game i found in second grade from a friend, and quickly it turned in to so much more. i still have friendships ive made over the forums. every video i watch from you brings me in to nostalgia

[@4vtk]

Keep it up, I'm surprised you only have around 1k subs considering how enjoyable your videos are and the effort put into them.

[@meltedelevator]

Hey man I found you from your classic roblox outfits guide and I've been addicted to the rest of these videos. You're super underrated and I hope more people find your channel soon.

[@weepingwip]

About 3.5 years ago I met a guy in bee swarm simulator who was a dev in 2010 I started playing often with him and I even found out he speaks my mother language, he also was the reason why I got interesseted in roblox history because he joined in 2009 and all his friends have their level in their description

[@lyamyes]

I love these types of informational roblox videos. I’ve binged all of them. Hope you keep pumping out these types of videos more. You deserve way more subscribers than what you’re currently sitting at. Good luck with your channel!

[@princesscolinalivestreams6674]

Woke up from a Covid nap and saw you uploaded. Well done on another video!

[@princesscolinalivestreams6674]

Took the calculator test and got a 91 on my first attempt. Then factored in that someone botted my followers, which seemed to skew the data, so I subtracted the bot followers and ended up with an 88. Pretty good I think

[@leIantos]

Can't believe you don't even have 200 subscribers, your videos are awesome! I found your channel from your clan video, I took an interest in it since I'm in the wizards of the astral isles group! Hope your channel grows soon, I've been binge watching your videos & definitely will spread the word!

Thx

[@BillysTVProductionsInc.-bx8ib]

In pyritium level calculator i managed to get above 100, i forgot if it was 106 or 108, which is quite cool. I believe it's caused by the amount of visits i have and the amount of accesories i have.

[@itz1nsanity-cj6tz]

bruh I was listening to this in the background and heard you say "June 15th 2007" and freaked out because that is my exact birthday.

Hi I love your videos, I got 60 at the pyritium calculator

[@bashfulwolfo6499]

Just checked out Pyritium’s and I’m currently at lvl 39. My account is from 2013 but I believe majority the points came from badges and followers lmao. My friends are only for personal close friends that I actually know, and I only started decorating my avatar back in 2019 (which meant I was rocking the classic look for 6 years lmao). Oh and I have like 0 place visits since I don’t have a place. Which, yk, I’m surprised I even got past lvl 20 which the bare minimum I have lmao

[@Citrus_Idk]

can u maybe send me the link to the game, i searched it up but it only came up with "Super fun obby" so i think it may have been hacked, but judging by the fact this was said a month ago, i have reasons to believe it wasnt, so can you maybe send me the link.
