Rolling Sky Discord (short form: RSD) was the second of the three major eras of the server which is today known as [[Rolling Lounge]]. Lasting from October 3rd of 2018 to January 25th of 2020 (1 year, 3 months and 23 days, with the third era called "<span class="plainlinks">[https://rollinglounge.miraheze.org/wiki/Rolling_Lounge_Era Rolling Lounge]</span>" replacing it), this era acted as the pinnacle of the server history in terms of activity, community size and strength, activities, and more.

==History==

After some time of its existence, the management and the community of Reflex Games Discord had discovered several issues with the contents of the server. The first issue was that Dancing Ball lost relevance drastically due to its slow delivery of updates, which also made the challenge making of it harder. The second issue were problems with other servers due to the existence of Dancing Line as a main game, because of an already existing place mainly dedicated to it, rendering Dancing Line a bit useless on Reflex Games Discord's side. While there wasn't much of a point seen in keeping Dancing Line and Dancing Ball, the new game Rolling Dream was in its early stages and had already attracted a lot of people, causing the first big member spike. The most popular challenge type were Rolling Sky challenges, and most of the community pretty much consisted of Rolling Sky players. Because of this, it was decided that it would make more sense to prioritize Rolling Sky (and its sequel) as there were no other active servers solely concentrating on Rolling Sky on Discord. Hence, the server name was changed to "Rolling Sky Discord" and its fundamentals also customized to fit the name.

Due to its peak of activity and community size, Rolling Sky Discord suffered from a lot of community drama, which mostly happened inside of RSD itself instead of also including other servers. A lot of arguments happened at this time for various reasons, may it be because of Rolling Sky (arguments about game contents), specific moderation measures taken against members, people feeling disrespected and more. Some dramas in this era also caused parts of the core community to either temporarily or permanently take their leave from the server.
