[[Reflex Games Discord]] was the start of the stable server eras, where there was usually a developed server environment and community which 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, as it 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.

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 topic was not present at that time and due to the ability to speak with the YouTubers, it seemed benefitial to join the server / join Discord by itself, as many people had created Discord accounts just for joining the server.

===Rolling Sky Discord===

[[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.  

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 arised 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.

===Rolling Lounge===

[[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.
