'''Rolling Lounge''' (short form: '''RL''') is a Rolling Sky-centered community server founded on January ~~11th~~, 2018, by Gems Power and owned by SHAvibe. The server serves as a central place for international Rolling Sky players to chat about the game. It has also partnered with several Rolling Sky fanmades, such as [[Rolling Sky Remake]] and [[Rolling Universe]].

'''Rolling Lounge''' (short form: '''RL''') is a Rolling Sky-centered community server founded on January 11, 2018, by Gems Power and owned by SHAvibe. The server serves as a central place for international Rolling Sky players to chat about the game. It has also partnered with several Rolling Sky fanmades, such as [[Rolling Sky Remake]] and [[Rolling Universe]].

After its foundation by Gems Power and ownership by SHAvibe, the server had grown due to its unique addition of challenges for the three games Rolling Sky, Dancing Line, and Dancing Ball. The server was promoted on YouTube and grew a large community in a short time. This also set the start of several problems, such as raiders and hackers invading the server. This community expanded in the [[Reflex Games Discord]] era, where more promotion came into place thanks to more YouTubers joining. The community decided to make itself stronger, and several community projects as signs of unity and friendship arose.

Another game, the sequel to Rolling Sky, "Rolling Dream," shaped the era, where the server played as a beta tester application hub. However, the influx of members caused issues in the community and server wars as well. In October of 2018, Dancing Line and Dancing Ball were abandoned as primary server topics to prioritize Rolling Sky and its sequel to start the [[Rolling Sky Discord]] era, where the server experienced a big increase in activity and members. The server was the center of everything Rolling Sky-related on Discord. This lasted until Rolling Sky's status declined, and due to the dissatisfaction of the community with the developers, the server got rid of Rolling Sky as a central topic and turned into a community interest-based server to start the [[Rolling Lounge Era]] in January of 2020.

Due to dramas, the staff team had broken apart and fallen into a de facto anarchy, which arose many problems for the server and its community, which was then resolved in the 2nd half of 2020 with the goal to restore a reasonable server experience, which succeeded with several server revamps and RS Fanmade partners, starting with Rhythm Join.

===Foundation - Reflex Games Discord===

This time of the server was when the basic structure of the server was built and had taken a shape. This lasted around one month, from the foundation of the server (January ~~11th~~, 2018) to February ~~12th~~, 2018, when [[Reflex Games Discord]] built upon the basic structure and stabilized it together with a general expansion of the server, making it ready for a bigger community inhabitation.

The server was founded by a group of people from the old Rolling Sky Discord founded in 2017, as this group had an idea of making a server where people could host and play challenges about two (three, including Dancing Ball) games by Cheetah Games, Rolling Sky and Dancing Line. As SHAvibe, a popular Rolling Sky and Dancing Line content creator, was a part of that group, growing it would be possible easily. Therefore, the server was founded on January ~~11th~~, 2018, by one of the group members, Gems Power, who gave the ownership to SHAvibe right away. The members of the group joined after, and some were given staff permissions to set things up properly, whereupon basic setup people were publicly invited outside of Discord through SHAvibe's showcase of the Rolling Sky level "Cloud." This caused the member count to increase, as the server managed to reach 100 members in around one week already.

The first challenges were also introduced at this time. The concept of challenges is that a challenge host/manager gives out a specific mission to be completed inside a game, which is then submitted to gain rewards depending on how fast the challenge is completed. This concept was taken by the biggest Dancing Line server at that time, Dancing Line Discord, and was applied to not only one game (Dancing Line) but three games (Rolling Sky, Dancing Line, and Dancing Ball). A level would be given where you had to reach a specific percentage in that level along with other parameters (like crowns and gems in Rolling Sky). Depending on your speed of completion, you'd get a server-wide currency called "Points," which placed you higher in a public leaderboard.

[[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.

This era lasted from February 12, 2018, to October 3, 2018, when [[Rolling Sky Discord]] replaced the era.

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.

The already existing community of the server Pre-RGD was expanded, but on a much larger scale than before. Due to the big influx of members to the server, plenty of people also decided to expand their activity in the server, which didn't only include talking about the server topics but also more personal topics in between the community members and the making of friends. Aside from concentrating solely on the server topics, the community started making itself an attraction as well, making a place where even people who didn't play the server games could have a place in. So, Reflex Games Discord was the first era where member bonds were made. This was also shown with several community projects being made and family pictures being drawn for the server.

[[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. This era has changed the server, and its influx still holds until today. This era lasted from October 3, 2018, to January 25, 2020.

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.

With the removal of Dancing Line and Dancing Ball, their dedicated challenge channels were also removed, leaving only Rolling Sky challenges. That's why Rolling Sky challenges were expanded drastically, as a new Challenge Manager team under the rulership of RoyalMike had formed and gone through intensive planning for events. The currency $RGD was renamed to $RSD, and several other currencies were added, which were used to buy different items. The Challenge Manager team added several new modes to the challenges, adding twists and tricks, which made them far more varied and interesting. This increased the participant amount by a lot, and therefore the Challenge Manager team put intensive work into creating a Google Spreadsheet showing the entire leaderboard of RSD. In this era, Weeklies were introduced as well, challenges that were hosted every week instead of every day. Due to them appearing less often, the challenges required more time to beat and also rewarded the winners more. Unique to the Weeklies was the role "Challeader," which was given to the winner of the current Weekly challenge.

[[Rolling Lounge Era | Rolling Lounge]] got rid of Rolling Sky as a central topic and instead prioritized the community, using their interests as a base of the topics present in 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.

===Rolling Lounge Network===

Rolling Lounge is the center of the Rolling Lounge Network, a new system of server management introduced in November ~~21th of~~ 2021. Previously, all topics of Rolling Lounge (such as Rolling Sky Remake, Rolling Fanmade, Rhythm Join, Rolling Sky, etc.) had been compressed inside of one server, which raised signficant problems in terms of community and channel management. Therefore, Rolling Lounge was turned into a network instead of just a server and spread to a total of four topic-specific servers, the so called '''Districts'''. The servers were made accessible through a portal channel inside of all Rolling Lounge Network servers. The districts are built similarly to Rolling Lounge itself in terms of channel and permission systems. The districts also share the same Terms of Use and Community Guidelines as the center, although it is possible for the district to add extended rules on their own depending on their demand.

The managements of the network districts are not the same; although high ranked staff members inside of Rolling Lounge have the ability to gain management rights in all of the Network. A parliament is planned to be introduced inside of Rolling Lounge where staff ranked Official Staff and higher can discuss network matters together, although it hasn't been done yet due to the management of the new districts not being fully established yet. This all applies for First Degree Districts, the parts of Rolling Lounge which are accessible for everyone. The Network also includes an extended district system which is restricted to people who are over Level 10 in Rolling Lounge. They do not dependent on Rolling Lounge and are built in a different way channel and permission wise, although they still officially belong to the Rolling Lounge Network due to their relevancy in parts of the community.

===External relations===

Rolling Lounge practices a server friendship with '''MediaPlay Discord''', owned by '''TechNewVideo'''.

Rolling Lounge hadn't practiced the concept of server partnerships or server friendships due to the disappeal in the concept of it. It was seen that the server was the only one of its size and its topics for which no servers to potentially partner with could be found. Though it was sometimes considered building up better relations with Dancing Line Discord, it was never done in an official way. This was until former staff member TechNewVideo founded MediaPlay Discord which would show itself as a successful community server. The community had a major influx of Rolling Lounge Members who decided to either abandon Rolling Lounge in favor of the server or become active in both servers. Due to this shared community, the communities eventually brought up ideas of combining or partnering Rolling Lounge and MediaPlay Discord since they had a lot in common. The idea was often seen in a critical way as a merge of both servers was thought to cause controversy, though the idea of a partnership was widely requested from both sides. The server representatives of both servers, [[AZMindroma]] and MediaPlay Discord discussed about the idea of a partnership which was approved by both.

On December ~~10th of~~ 2021, TechNewVideo opened a new server partnership system called '''MPD Solutions''', which was created in favor to create a separate space for servers which were bigger and more organized. Through a direct message to TechNewVideo, the partnership between Rolling Lounge and MediaPlay Discord was sealed.

[[File:RT.png|100px|thumb|Rolling Token|alt=Image of Rolling Lounge's virtual currency, showing a white "RT" text on top of a purple-gradient coin structure.]]

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'''.

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.

 ===Rolling Lounge Network===
 {{See also|The Network Opening}}
-Rolling Lounge is the center of the Rolling Lounge Network, a new system of server management introduced in November 21th of 2021. Previously, all topics of Rolling Lounge (such as Rolling Sky Remake, Rolling Fanmade, Rhythm Join, Rolling Sky, etc.) had been compressed inside of one server, which raised signficant problems in terms of community and channel management. Therefore, Rolling Lounge was turned into a network instead of just a server and spread to a total of four topic-specific servers, the so called '''Districts'''. The servers were made accessible through a portal channel inside of all Rolling Lounge Network servers. The districts are built similarly to Rolling Lounge itself in terms of channel and permission systems. The districts also share the same Terms of Use and Community Guidelines as the center, although it is possible for the district to add extended rules on their own depending on their demand.

 The managements of the network districts are not the same; although high ranked staff members inside of Rolling Lounge have the ability to gain management rights in all of the Network. A parliament is planned to be introduced inside of Rolling Lounge where staff ranked Official Staff and higher can discuss network matters together, although it hasn't been done yet due to the management of the new districts not being fully established yet. This all applies for First Degree Districts, the parts of Rolling Lounge which are accessible for everyone. The Network also includes an extended district system which is restricted to people who are over Level 10 in Rolling Lounge. They do not dependent on Rolling Lounge and are built in a different way channel and permission wise, although they still officially belong to the Rolling Lounge Network due to their relevancy in parts of the community.

 Rolling Lounge practices a server friendship with '''MediaPlay Discord''', owned by '''TechNewVideo'''.
 Rolling Lounge hadn't practiced the concept of server partnerships or server friendships due to the disappeal in the concept of it. It was seen that the server was the only one of its size and its topics for which no servers to potentially partner with could be found. Though it was sometimes considered building up better relations with Dancing Line Discord, it was never done in an official way. This was until former staff member TechNewVideo founded MediaPlay Discord which would show itself as a successful community server. The community had a major influx of Rolling Lounge Members who decided to either abandon Rolling Lounge in favor of the server or become active in both servers. Due to this shared community, the communities eventually brought up ideas of combining or partnering Rolling Lounge and MediaPlay Discord since they had a lot in common. The idea was often seen in a critical way as a merge of both servers was thought to cause controversy, though the idea of a partnership was widely requested from both sides. The server representatives of both servers, [[AZMindroma]] and MediaPlay Discord discussed about the idea of a partnership which was approved by both.
-On December 10th of 2021, TechNewVideo opened a new server partnership system called '''MPD Solutions''', which was created in favor to create a separate space for servers which were bigger and more organized. Through a direct message to TechNewVideo, the partnership between Rolling Lounge and MediaPlay Discord was sealed.

-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'''.
