[[Reflex Games Discord]] was the start of the stable server eras, where there was usually a developed server environment and community that had given the server a specific direction. The direction then stayed in the server until a new era came, which changed the fundamentals of the server. Several major events happened in this era, contrary to the time before, and it was also met with a big popularity spike. This era's topics were Rolling Sky, Dancing Line, and Dancing Ball, which could be seen in the logo designed for it. This era lasted from February 12th, 2018, to October 3rd, 2018, when [[Rolling Sky Discord]] replaced the era. | [[Reflex Games Discord]] was the start of the stable server eras, where there was usually a developed server environment and community that had given the server a specific direction.

While SHAvibe was the main advertiser for the server before Reflex Games Discord, the Reflex Games Discord era added more YouTubers to the server willing to advertise it in their YouTube channels, such as Tuan Nguyen. Due to a big Discord server having Rolling Sky as a topic was not present at that time, and due to the ability to speak with the YouTubers, it seemed beneficial to join the server / join Discord by itself, as many people had created Discord accounts just for joining the server. | While SHAvibe was the main advertiser for the server before Reflex Games Discord, the Reflex Games Discord era added more YouTubers to the server willing to advertise it in their YouTube channels, such as Tuan Nguyen.

[[Rolling Sky Discord]] was the pinnacle of the server's existence in terms of activity, community size and strength, activities, and more. This era has changed the server, and its influx still holds until today. This era lasted from October 3rd, 2018, to January 25th, 2020. | [[Rolling Sky Discord]] was the pinnacle of the server's existence in terms of activity, community size and strength, activities, and more.

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 issues were that Dancing Ball lost relevance drastically and problems with other servers arose due to the existence of Dancing Line as a main game, as another server had it as a main topic already. Because of this, both Dancing Line and Dancing Ball were removed as topics from the server once this era started. | 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.

As the year 2019 progressed, the Rolling Sky community's satisfaction with each update started to decrease. The levels seemed to lose quality, and the philosophy of Rolling Sky's developers which made rare reuse of special game mechanics and no new interesting, game-changing ones made the community desperate for the developers to listen more to suggestions. The community did a lot of suggestions and people in closer contact with the developers transmitted those suggestions to them, however only one suggestion was implemented, it being a relatively insignificant one. That's when the community started a type of strike/boycott against Rolling Sky('s developers) and wanted to start a new server era independent from Rolling Sky as main topic. A referendum was held and as result, the server was rebranded to a community server. | As the year 2019 progressed, the Rolling Sky community's satisfaction with each update started to decrease.

Rolling Lounge has a primary virtual currency called '''Rolling Tokens (abbreviated: RT)'''. It was introduced as a part of Project Amelioration in March of 2021. The main income for RTs are challenges, though casual events or giveaways also may serve as an income source. There is also a command which can be used to gain RT easily, although the gaining rate is low. With participating in daily challenges, an income of around 1000 RT per week can be expected. The usage of this currency is to buy items from the '''Shop'''. | Rolling Lounge has a primary virtual currency called '''Rolling Tokens (abbreviated: RT)'''.
