[[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.

[[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.

A lot of channel changes were done as a result of the change of the server, but ultimately, it didn't seem like a proper rebrand due to the same icon being used generally, no big changes being seen. The rebrand seemed to be done prematurely as there wasn't much of an idea about what to do with the server now, and due to a giant drama in the management team, server development was immensely slowed down. As a result, the events quickly became very inactive and there wasn't much going on in the server anymore. With an unstable staff and event team, a substitute staff was searched to help continue the server development, and so eventually, one with the name of "Skye" was added. A new community had built itself up, which partially consisted of Rolling Sky Discord Core community members who were holding on, and friends of the new staff Skye. This boosted server activity despite the community size shrinking, as the few ones who were in the community were very active in it, making Rolling Lounge their "home", just like the previous core communities did. However, this community overtook the base community due to the 18+ (Not Safe For Work/NSFW) topics being one of the biggest topics due to a lack of moderation.
