The Rolling Lounge Network Opening was a server update that happened on November 21st of 2021, where Rolling Lounge was turned into a network instead of just a server and spread to a total of four topic-specific servers.
 
==History==
After the [[Rolling Lounge (Era)|Rolling Lounge]] era had started in early 2020, the community's activity started to decrease. While it was possible for the chats to get more active than they ever were, the general consistency of a base community was low. For this reason, people had searched for potential causes and solutions for this happening. One cause was identified to be because of Rolling Sky's decline and eventual death which the community generally consisted of. However it was still questioned why people hadn't stayed in the base community due to its relatively long time of lasting.
 
===Theory of Interaction===
This question had stayed all the way from the start of the era until 2021, where a theory was formed on why the server had gotten in such a situation. To create that theory, several servers were inspected and several testing servers created to see what keeps people active. One study of this theory included the clear benefit of a server if it has a defined topic. This theory elaborates this by saying that people who are interested in a topic would rather search a Discord server which had that interest as main topic to ensure that it'd be clear that the members of the server shared the same interest as the member did which would be a benefit in terms of conversation possibilities. At that time, Rolling Lounge's Community Center, the Main Chat had issues building up conversations, which was explained with this theory.
 
To fix this problem, solutions were searched by the management, which came to the conclusion to take a concept of server management done by other servers on Discord (such as MediaPlay Discord and the Geometry Dash server) which was Networking, a way to make servers more topic-specific. Starting from October to November, the network structure was planned and then eventually built until its initial release in November 21st of 2021.
