[[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.

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 varying and interesting. This increased the participator amount by a lot and therefore the Challenge Manager team put intensive work in creating a Google Spreadsheet showing the entire leaderboard of RSD. In this era, ~~Weeklys~~ 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 ~~Weeklys~~ was the role "Challeader", which was given to the winner of the current Weekly challenge.

The community reached its peak size during the Rolling Sky Discord era, reaching ~2500 members at its maximum. Due to its name and defined topic, people could identify if the things that they would like to talk about was included in the server and therefore made the server more attractive. With the growth of the community, the YouTube Content Creators inside the server also increased. One encouragement for joining the server was the presence and for the first time, activity of official Rolling Sky developers outside of Chinese chatting applications. Though the first Rolling Sky Officials already had joined the server in its first major era "Reflex Games Discord", they showed little to no activity. In the RSD Era however, the activity of the officials increased by a bit, causing an incredibly large amount of people to join the chat and try to interact with the officials. While there were a lot of people who solely chatted about Rolling Sky (and its sequel) or people who didn't chat often, there were also a lot of people who befriended each other in the server, expanding the core community of the server.

This core community almost solely used Rolling Sky Discord to chat in all of Discord and built a lot of projects together to increase the community feeling or benefit the server in any other way. Notable projects were the continuation of the Family Pictures and the extreme growth of the Rolling Sky Discord Community YouTube Channel. Many other "unofficial" artworks were drawn for the server and a website dedicated to RSD was also in the works.

Challenges have different modes, 4 of them listed below:

* '''Dailies''' - Within a week, each day featured a different challenge about Rolling Sky is hosted. This challenge type has been in tact (although with breaks) since the beginning of the server and are a key aspect to the server's challenge economy. Dailies feature different challenge modes which change the way the challenge procedure is done. Completing dailies in succession adds to a Streak count to increase the rewards gotten from the challenges.

* '''~~Weeklys~~''' - Once a week, a weekly challenge which is also about Rolling Sky is hosted. Unlike dailies, these challenges consist of a series of mini challenges, single tasks which take an amount of time, or contests. After a week, the winner of the weekly challenge receives a special role called ''Challeader''.

* '''Weeklies''' - Once a week, a weekly challenge which is also about Rolling Sky is hosted. Unlike dailies, these challenges consist of a series of mini challenges, single tasks which take an amount of time, or contests. After a week, the winner of the weekly challenge receives a special role called ''Challeader''.

* '''Thinking Corner''' - Occasionally, riddles or puzzles are hosted which do not Rolling Sky skills but general riddle solving knowledge, making this type of challenge attractive for members who are in the server but don't play Rolling Sky.

* '''Art Contests''' - Art contests try to reach out to the creative community inside of Rolling Lounge by handing out topics to which the task is to make an artistic piece to it (E.g. Artworks, Literature etc.). While they are more irregular, they usually give more rewards due to the effort needed to complete these challenges.
