i had people telling me to take my video down for being hateful and reporting(not ok). Royale high community, this is immature behavior. criticism is required for any media you can think of. i need to make this clear that in no part in the video did i ever slander or send any hate or foul intentions to anybody, nor royale high. i need to be clear on the stance that royale high needs change to successfully grow now. its time for them (royale high devs) to listen to the community.
In the community a lot of them are literaly kids who doesn't understand criticism.. and yes criticism sometimes can be harsh but its still important it will make the game better, People need to understand that we give opinions/criticism bcuz we care and want the game to do better.
im an og portal room mermaid tail era player who quit in the repeat/no update era like last year or two years ago, and i can tell you whole heartedly, this game had charm and a real feeling you had playing it once. and now that feeling is gone. oh cool! i got some diamonds or a shiny new set of earrings! big whoop.
like and i was a boy too, ive been here since before the royale high twinks and jakes as well. and im straight and cis to add on to it. this game truly fell from grace, and whenever i get on it i judt dont feel happy at all. i dont even care about getting a halo anymore because i have tried for years since the feature came out but some new 2024 january player comes and they win like 5. not to mention NEVER getting items in the wheel anymore nor my dream item. what truly ruined it was the shitty trading economy feature, and the removal of anything "legacy" which you should make a video on
and also, the game lost sight of what it truly was: a roleplay dress up game. now its a bunch of weirdos freaking out because the "value" of a pixelated corset went down a few billion diamonds. and diamonds too! it just wasnt easy for casual players just wanting fun, it has to be a huuuuuge grind for months if that
@@Nyct0philic the freedom of decorating it exactly how u want was such a cool idea, but they shouldnt have made it full bloxburg style if yk whaqt i mean
I used to be obsessed with RH, made sure to finish school on time, jours on end with leveling, and farming, etc. Role-playing, there are so many things I've enjoyed, now it's boring, and when a new phase comes, I'm like, "ok cool," and head to play games outside of roblox, (started playing gacha games, or other dress up games) It feels like I grew out of the game. I had fun with the game I grew up with. I've been slowly growing out of roblox as a whole and felt like a long roller-coaster ngl. Great video.
I still play Royale High because it reminds me of when I was younger (10-11) and playing Royale high. It’s definitely not the same and definitely changed, but some of the stuff is still there, it just got a glow up.
I found 2 games that made me stay on roblox lol those games were Dress to Impress and The Mystical Guardians(this ones a gacha game and farming for currency is actually not that grindy and doesnt even look like roblox reminds me so much of the old Royale high a little bit)
i’m not sure if anyone remembers this, but one of my favorite events that royale high did was for easter in 2017-2018?? it was when you would go to clothing stores and stuff like that and look for eggs, it definitely helped people get noticed by a lot of users, and it was unique but obviously they got lazy and decided to repeat the same event over and over after… they had so much potential, i just wish they would listen to their player base
omg!! i remember these too, i think they also had a halloween event similar to this? i don’t remember for which year, but these used to be so fun!! everyone would get together and help complete mazes or searches together :) i miss it so much!!
its also maddening that you have to spend diamonds on items to do your quests, royale high also lacks providing information for noobs cause ive literally had multiple newbies come up to me on what to do in the game
Royale high is not in any way newbie friendly. It's genuinely sad because I'm sure a lot of people would love to play but probably get turned off because of how everyone else already knows how to play and the community is still pretty toxic(usually though, the players are pretty friendly if you go up and talk to them in game, it's mostly just social media). Not to mention how long it takes to get anything in the game.
@@tabitharust304 Exactly, and most noobs start with one quest slot only, and if they get any quest such as the study sesh or any quest related where you have to purchase an item they will literally not be able to do that quest and they'd have to wait like an hour for them to have a chance on gaining diamonds
@@doramips which is so stupid!!! I'm so hoping that they actually add new(less time consuming, I guess not necessarily easier) ways to get diamonds in the rest of the new school like they said cuz.... Whatever they have right now is NOT it.
i love the colors. but i miss the simpler design and times. i also miss enchantix high and fantasia hotel. it sucks they got removed. i made so many friends and would roleplay all the time. now, i have moved on, but i still play rh just for sunset island bc i still see a lot of nice things going on. i just miss the old times tbh.
THIS EXACTLY. - spent all my robux on the gamepasses and now i feel obligated to play rh cause wow that money… - failed many exams because i decided to play rh new updates late in the night, if i didnt id become broke in game (.? that was so stupid?) - i played rh for 4 years and i managed to get a halo FROM AN ART COMMISSION. all “rich items” i have wasnt from farming but commissions and endless giveaways i joined. - bought all gamepasses, farmed for sooo long and many hours (to the point I GOT SCREEN TIME.) just for me to not even own all sets in games. - lost many friends over this game, ridiculous - yet im still holding onto the thought that this game will improve and its that princesse game that hits the spot for me in my heart. - had a mental breakdown when i lost my 321 streak in game ??? i hate seeing this game fail, literally adore this game so much but im so tired 😭
Same omg ☹️ I've played RK2 and Astro Renaissance before, and I'm not saying that they're dogsht games, but I felt as if they couldn't compare to how fun Royale High used to be. Despite how dystopian, toxic, and laggy/glitchy Royale High has become, I still play it all the time. I wish the game would get sold to devs that would take actual good care of Royale High and that hopefully they would reverse some updates that massively disappointed the community, like the removal of the Campus 2 diamond locations.
@@chaus1ku no fr, like the memories i made, GOLD, but the game now has so much potential but its not being fulfilled to its potential. idk what it is, but either the game steps up or someone else who can take the role does.
It went from 70k players to 7k cc players and its only gonna go down as things get pricier and pricier and pricier until they’re just too much.. even though I quit years community was so nice, not rude or grindy everyone WANTED to roleplay and talk with others we were completely hyped for the updates and new sets. I quit about 3-4 years ago, everything was getting expensive EVEN THEN I would offer my entire inventory for 1 item and it would still not be enough. Removing enchantix was the worst decision they could’ve ever made and it SHOULD be reverted..
fr removing Enchantix and the hotel was the worst decision those were the only places people would still roleplay, and the copyright excuse is so stupid. So you are telling me you can years making a school that is not even finished but you can't change the winx images and add copyright-free music? I bet that would take less time and people would probably still play the game in those areas.
oh babe you understood it wrong. barbie cannot JUST "revert" enchantix high. thats not easy. Enchantix was based off winx and had copyrighted stuff in there, and barbie could literally have her life put in danger and her husbands just for someones entertainment. She could get sued for over 150k$ dollars for copyright infrigment if Enchantix and Hotel werent removed. Besides, they were old and outdated.
@@AraAraHM they cant just "FIX " IT. its more complicated than you think. its either barbie pays 150k dollars in fines for copyright infrigment and have the realms removed and POSSIBLY have ROYALE HIGH as a whole removed, or , she could remove the realms causing the trouble and NOT have her life ruined.
I use to play RH back in the day when the mermaid tails were available,I’d just screw around with my best friend and we’d watch random girls fight over some basic boy. I miss those days,now everyone’s grinding and no one’s role playing,and I feel so weird playing it now because I feel like I don’t belong anymore
i was never really into it, only when i was a kid. i made this video with one month of experience in the new royale high. its hard, its not the same at all and so expensive. they can release "roleplay features" all they want, but it doesnt change the fact that the whole point of the game is to make money. ive been trying to get into royale high after making this video to understand better and because i do like the game. but its so frustrating nobody listens to the actual problem(money) and now theyre adding roleplay features which will not be utilized because the structure of the game is MAKE MONEY. 😩😩
I feel the same way like I feel like royale high should do an event were everything is old and classic but I think that would take a long time I mean idk how Roblox build works now a days
I get what you mean because I went to the new campus 3 and I started to talk to some people telling them if they wanted to roleplay and literally every single player turned me down and said that’s children plays 🤦🏻♀️ I miss those old days when everyone wanted to roleplay 🥺
I used to be a hardcore roleplay when i was young, and I grew out of it.. I understand and I feel bad for u but you gotta understand that people are grown now..
Some royale high discord servers have roleplay channels where people can join royale high roleplay servers/groups. If you'd like to find people to roleplay with, I highly recommend this method!
For real! Like I still remember very vividly about that Era of Royale High to the point it feels like I've played it yesterday. I still remember how MUCH I hated the chemistry class in the game because I lost every time! 😂 Exchantix was especially special to me since we could pick our own element, and I loved being the earth and fire fairy. Everyone was just doing their own thing, and their avatars looked nice. I still remember the mermaid tails
some games dont need too much rebranding, rebuilding or upgrades. they just need bug fixes and building, that was royal high. new sets every so often and maybe a few new places on the map would have been fine. now the whole game is different, you might not even know what to do (i have been playing for so long and now i dont even know what im supposed to do). the UI is so differently styled, everything is too bright. the new school is so laggy and useless. the nostalgia i had when seeing the old rh game hit hard
I even have a hard time playing the game nowadays with graphics turned all the way down. ... That probably says something about my computer it's pretty old but rip mobile users as well, you think a game like royale high would be able to optimize its space more for low end devices? So more people can play? I know they are trying their best, but there is already SO MUCH stuff in the game and they keep adding more and there aren't very many options to have the game run better
Also EEW I just hate what they did for the toggles and dress up menu overall you have to go back into the dress up menu every time you wanna change the toggle and it's good for a ton of customization but it can be a LOT- 😅 the dress up menu is also kind of unorganized, and at this point there are so many faces, so many hairstyles, and SO MANY patterns and clothing it is so hard to find one that works for you. Sometimes I wish there were less options(or maybe.. pages to sort the different categories? That would be easier to organize, I think. And they definitely need to add more labels to sort everything more efficiently)
@@tabitharust304 i have a pretty good device and the game isn’t even suitable for me. it takes way too long to load in and some places in the map are so unesseacry 😭
if you still want to play royale high i recommend turning down your graphics bc some pcs it can be very laggy with high graphics! also recommend looking up tutorials for quests because some can be a bit confusing if what you're interested in is diamonds and getting cute outfits! with the wand on the side bar you can still teleport to other realms so you can roleplay because in the new campus it is a bit more difficult to roleplay if you want to do a school roleplay with the classes. much love
its so sad for me, I grew up with Roblox i remember i never felt the need to buy robux or even ask for it. I could enjoy the games without feeling like i needed to spend money. I grew up with Royale High, JailBreak, Speed Run 4, and other games around 2018-2019. I love Royale High as a kid and i still do, I remember Role-playing and actually making friends in the game, and not because of the VC or because of Discord communities. Farming before was never really my objective, but literally just having fun. I remember seeing the first video that got me into it, Enchantix High as the game that was being played and even if it wasnt so detailed like campus 2 or even campus 1 i enjoyed it so so much. Now all I do on Royale High is farm up to 5-6 hours only to barely get 7k diamonds(without multipliers). Its honestly sad seeing myself get bored with a game i loved so much i just wish players would interact more, other than just spamming "Study sesh?" in the chat, and just lowering the prices atleast 30% down. Anyways i know a lot wont read this but Royal High is one of my favorite games ever, i still find myself going into it even if its just to farm which kinda saddens me since theres basically no updates (ik their allegedly working on campus 4), and if there is the sets that come with it are like 100-200k i like thats just plain crazy kids arent supposed to play that long, like its so hard to play without multipliers it just saddens me that the new gen of kids that play Roblox wont get to experience actual enjoyment.
I think an important thing to note is that Royale High themselves has made it virtually impossible to roleplay. They removed the two places that were still filled with roleplay and they replaced it with campus three, which teleports you to a new server every time you enter a different room. Even if you were to find roleplayers, if you aren’t friends, you’d lose them the minute you went to your dorm, or the bathing quarters, or the courtyard, or anywhere. The loading screens are tedious and it makes roaming around the school impossible and annoying. the experience doesn’t feel like you’re in this big school that you can explore because you have to wait for your screen to be done loading to enter any other room or spot in the palace. I get that it’s a big game and it helps prevent lag, but the earlier games never needed this. You can’t talk with your friends in chat if they’re in the dorm and you’re in the courtyard, because you’re in different servers. Ntm the school isn’t even finished, many of the important rp features haven’t even been implemented yet. Or they’re behind a paywall (like being a counselor, for example). Hell, up until recently, there was only one class! And it might’ve been the most boring mini game I’ve ever played on roblox.
This is why I’m so excited for campus 4 that’s supposed to come out soon, it’s going to be more like campus 1/2 and be all connected with classes and stuff
As someone who still rp in Royale high we don’t rp in the new campus usually for that reason that we can’t communicate with each other in different rooms so we have to rp in campus 2 or 1 it’s difficult with some bugs that still are in campus 2 like if your carrying someone into a different room your screen goes black not too big of a deal but it’s still difficult to rp in a game that only cares about the newest items
This is exactly why I stopped playing Royal High. While the game is drop dead gorgeous, everything is too expensive, and I don't have the time, nor do I want to spend hours of every day farming on a game for a pair of shoes, when I could be doing something more productive.
honestly. campus one was not good looking at all, but the simplicity of it was what made it fun. i absolutely hate how the only thing anyone cares about now is money.
Literally TRIED to RP with my friend however the community is so judgemental and rude that I had to go to a private server just to get things done and be left alone. However, I've at least FINALLY found new little kids joining the game again and rping just as the school was once intended for and it genuinely warms my heart. I always try my best to help them navigate the game and make the community better bc it is disheartening to see what RH is now.
i havent seen an rp for a while. i remember always playing enchantix high and fantasia getaway and making friends and having fun. same for old rh. i still play rh sunset island sometimes cuz i still see some wholesome interactions. ive still continued to rp and in some servers, others would join cuz i found out they greatly missed it. oh, and i also encountered some likely young kids who were rping and they welcomed me and i helped them throughout the game. one of the most wholesome moments ive had for a while. oh and removing enchantix high and fantasia hotel was the worst decision ever.
@@rainbowunicorngirl2187EXACTLY! I’m convinced Fantasia and Enchantix High were probably the best parts of Royale high because it was where roleplaying came alive, if you know what I mean. Sometimes I just want to revisit Royale Hugh since it was my favorite game for so so long, but it’s so different and it’s no longer as fun to play. I was very excited for the new school, but you know that feeling where you have been waiting for a LONG time for something and everyone has created this idea in your head and once you actually get there, you realized it was not how you were expecting? Don’t get me wrong, the new school is gorgeous, but it’s too much.
campus 3 is so bright and it teleports u to a different map every time u try go somewhere 😭 and enchantix was SO FUN me and my friend would troll as dark faries with the dungeons or I would be a popstar fairy but now everyone's tryna get the 400k set or sum
@@jett.3930 OMG i remember this rp when ppl came to the dark fairies (including me) and got trapped and everyone noticed the absence of many fairies and got together to save us. good times man
this state of royale high is so bad i wanna cry, im not even kidding.. and this sounds so stupid but who wants to go to a server and roleplay or smth. cause im literally begging for nostalgia rn and the roleplays back then made me so happy, it was why i even played the game. now its all farming and grinding...i have 100k dims. but all that would get me would be like 1 pair of heels. i remember when i first joined royale high i used to roleplay and do funny stories without thinking it could be lost so simply. now all my friends are gone, or in a bad state, or maybe all they do is just grinding. its not the same. but im too scared to say anything because its 2024. who roleplays these days? i mean, one time i joined royale high campus 2 and found a few new players roleplaying and i joined their roleplay.. it was so cute and fun but that was the last time i ever really experienced happiness in royale high..
Some things I have noticed: 1: New rh players are often in the old campuses 2. Rh is not friendly to new players 3: Rh is very expensive now 4: Rh has changed, as with any game, but it’s also changed too much from its base game 5: Rh leans heavily into the pastel cute aesthetic, which may deter players with other aesthetics 6: Rh is very feminine based, which may deter male players 7: Rh needs to fix things soon, or they will lose far more players than they bargained for
@@obehiikhigbonoaremen1241 as a tomboy i agree!!! i do like cutesy things but at the end of the day, it's kind of hard to be your masc presenting self if the entire game is aimed for a cutesy aesthetic.. plus i haven't been seeing any alternative style sets
I miss the mermaid tail because now it is just a "fairy roleplay" instead of a fairy and mermaid game. The fact that they still haven't removed the mermaid section in the dress-up is so bizarre to me. They removed the only two places where you could still find roleplays, and they still haven't fixed issues that we have been complaining about for years!.
@@adeleaslan8182 yes, you can't buy mermaid tales anymore, but you can still use them if you bought them back in the day though they work kind of badly
I remember how I used to play Royale high EVERYDAY. I would even roleplay by myself. I recall how the Christmas updates were my favorite, but now everything seems so dead. You join a server now, and the chats almost completely empty. Me and my best friend would always troll roleplayers when we were bored, but they're just gone now. I belive a partial reason for this is, yes, growing up. But the amount of money that you need to get for simple heels or a skirt are too much, it's too much. New players can't even get stuff unless they grind endlessly for months and months. Royale High has lost it's spark.
I joined Royale High during the original enchantix era, Updates to the game were about excitement and how the players can enjoy it. Yes items were expensive but if you worked hard you could earn something. What I find with the new school is it looks pretty but they havent added much fun playability in things like classes and enjoyable content like balls the original games had. Its boring and only about toxic trading now.
Dude trading is a MAJOR reason that RH sucks now. Bc it’s all about grind, money, and getting the best shit. What about the rp? Or having fun playing the mini games and creating new characters? Damn I miss it
I miss the oldest campus so much; the winx-inspired one! Everyone wanted to roleplay back then and my friends and I would create the most dramatic storylines 😂 I miss those days so so much, I wish I could go back :(
atp i dont think the devs and barbie takes the game seriously anymore, they take way too long to release new updates, overprice things for no reason, and they never listen to what the players wants for them to improve. thats why a lot of people quit.. it has become into another cash grab game where they just dont care about anything else other than money
I think people really need to begin to realize RH has become a cashgrab, it’s not just the multipliers that raised prices in the stores, but it’s also because these game passes and the diamond store is the only way that RH can make money- my guess is that when the playerbase went down they just lowered the value of diamonds so people would be forced into buying them using money :/
they know they will still have players who will keep farming diamonds and trading for halos, so i guess since that guarantees players and people getting multipliers they dont see the point :/
I doubt that Barbie even cares about her own game anymore. I have no idea how she still tolerates Launce as the co-owner of RH despite him being a racist and ableist scumbag. Plus the dev team is soooo out of touch with the community. No matter how much people have convinced them, they'll still refuse to listen to their community, own up their mistakes and actually change. Barbie used to be so passionate about working on RH, but now she doesn't really care about her game anymore. And rocket Launcher will still continue to be a dork.
Stuff gets severely expensive because RH expects you to spend more time on the game and spend robux on gamepasses so they can profit off you. They don't realise that doing so will only cause more players to quit the game. At this point RH has become a pay to win cashgrab, it is impossible to play normally unless you spend money on it, plus multipliers are a complete scam right now
wow, an end of an era. (for me at least) i used to play royale high so much to the point where my mornings and evenings were always fun (i started in 2019 of december), at first i was hesitant because yk im a male and i grew up in a homophobic environment so i trashed on it. in 2020 of january i tried playing it secretly and well i enjoyed it so much. i didnt have the need to get these or that i was having fun with the free clothes, hair, and my treasure satchel with the rp name ~ Conny ~ 16 ~ Member of the Bad Owls Club. royale high has taught me so much growing up royale high taught me how to love, how to make friends and how to dress up with style. the game is the reason why the pandemic era was so memorable to me. i also found my lifelong friends there who are still with me up until now after 4 years of meeting. every day and night id hop onto royale high and just yk go to school try and win the prom, make some friends act like you’re superior than everyone else bcs u unlocked trading (xd) oh the times. now its just “get this for 300k diamonds and get no updates for 2 years” core. idk if its just me growing up now that im 15 and i used to play royale high when i was 11 up until i was 14. royale high needs to step up their game for their newer players and make it feel the exact same for kids growing up in 2024 similar to the vibe that the kids (like me) were getting in 2020. hope u guys get my point 😓🤍
Helppp I also started playing rh in December of 2019 the game was full of rp back then, but like a weeks after the trading hub came out everything changed
RH used to be about living in a magical fantasy and school that almost every little girl wanted where everyone wanted to be on time for classes, win prom, make friends and being able to enjoy this fantasy life. But now everyones competing and constantly trying to get the newest sets of clothes by spending hours and hours of afk farming or just dumping thousands of robux to trade for these sets, it seems like no ones really happy anymore. RH kinda lost its magic of being a fantasy land and became a game of showing off clothes and cosmetics, which really males me sad because as a little child RH was like my getaway to spend time with friends to role-play but now its just about how many clothes you have.
Omg I remember watching you on the Astro Renaissance video, but I couldn't comment as I was on a school Chromebook, but everything said here is so true. Like I joined Royale High around 2020 and I feel like people actually roleplayed and did stuff back then, and also it was a lot less toxic. Then around March 2020 Nightbarbie released trading hub and I could tell the game was going to be changed with this. I noticed when trading came out a lot of people started making halo charts and that also caused halos to fluctuate in price as they have now. I remember playing the game too with my old friends and just having fun. We didn't care if we weren't high enough level for beta testing, trading, or doing profit trading, it was just about having fun. Only those who had actually time to farm would do so, but there wasn't much pressure in leveling up ang grinding (unlike now). You can even see the change with the leader boards the highest-level players. It used to be around 15k - 10k, which was mlpandwinxfairypony and still is, and some other people (I forgot the names). But now she is up to level 70k in only 2 years when before she would only level around 2k around every 2-3 months. You could tell the change even effected the leaderboard as leveling up became more serious for them too. It's like she knew this would all happen, so she had made all these new game passes out and ready for everyone spend to make herself money. Also, I forgot to add she makes a ton off of premium payout too (which is when your premium and whenever you join the game you give the developer 1 robux, which can really add up over time) and how long people play her game, as if you didn't know the longer you play a Roblox developers game the more money you are giving (especially if you are premium), which is why the simulators on Roblox are so addictive now on Roblox, it's to keep you on their game as long as possible. Edit: Even if RH actually died right now and stopped having players, she still already made millions off the game, so she is set work free for some years.
Couldn't say it better myself. It sucks how the route RH is going. Because I now don't even try and get my dream items, etc. Especially since I'll be an adult this year, school, specifically maybe going to art school (I'm going to an art place to study to get a glimpse of what my potential career path leads me). Back on topic: I've slowly cared less about the updates RH gets (the same-old new hair, colors etc.) I don't even know what would come up with RH in 10 years or so. RH's exterior and interior look beautiful, I was at least 10 or a little older when I learned and became obsessed every day, even gotten better with math (3 months to get a million diamonds). I remember slacking off, or stressing over RH for being unable to obtain an item from the winter event. Now thst I'm 17 I just been focusing on school, my future art career, part time job soon, learning to drive, basically I got a life to live through, but now I've been playing other decent games, yet I fear I might repeat the obsession I had as a child.
I’ve always thought the trading hub messed up royale high a bit. Just like how I used to play adopt me but stopped playing when the pets** came out. It’s the same thing.
I used to be excited to finish online school just to play royale high. Ever since those changes were made, royale high lost its magic. Nowadays, it feels boring, and just empty... When the Hunt came out, i was dedicated to get every item and spent hours upon hours playing it, and I was so frustrated by all these cashgrab games, that when the event ended, I felt myself slowly growing out roblox. Now every game in roblox seems boring and I havent found that joy of being eager to join a game after school
I've been drifting away from roblox and rh. I just cannot enjoy the game like I used to. I'm playing the sims 4 now to try and fill the empty void that roblox and rh left.
ive grown out of roblox slightly, but i got my friends to make it joyful. ive definitely grown out of rh but i still play sunset island here and there. nowadays, im playing a bit of minecraft, writing a book online and also playing games on ps5 with my dad.
all that preparation for the new school just it to be a flop is kinda funny they deserved it ngl 😭like everything is just extremely expensive that its so hard to enjoy the game
as someone who played RH since 2017 it really makes me so sad how they ruined the game. i used to be on the top 100 level leaderboard in 2019 when divinia first came out (not the park) and i had over 2M diamonds at the time, it was really rare at that time to be rich in the game because most people only knew how to farm diamonds through leveling, which is what i did as well. imo the fall of rh began on the 2022 dewdrop springs update when they removed the diamond locations in the new school that was released in 2018, that's really the only effective farming method and especially since how they removed it after trading got released and with the inflation of the sets it didn't make it better either, i quit completely after that update because there was no point if the main point of the game was no longer to rp and dress up but to buy rare items and seasonal sets, which they literally made it harder to do so by removing the diamond locations in the rh campus 2, and they didn't even lower the price of the sets and trading inflation still stayed the same. i then came back to check out the new campus, and i was so disappointed as when it released you could barely do anything, and they released it in waves (which i thought was a good idea at first but the amount of "content" that they talked about having with the new campus was just so little to what i was expecting) they should have never released it in waves, not to mention the mechanic of having to load into the other parts of the castle which is so annoying because if you want to go to a different part of the castle you can't just walk in, you have to wait 10-15sec for it to teleport you to the designated part of the castle. and when i found out that you could decorate your lockers and dorm rooms i thought "oh! this is so cute!" and then i looked at the prices. who is even able to afford that after removing the diamond locations? through leveling? because it's just ridiculous and it's honestly so sad how i grew up with this game and it turned into this.
I hear you, I was also on the leaderboard back in 2019 and even though I got stressed out by it (it was a personal thing), the game was just so much better as whole and I want to cry Everytime in think of 2018 and 2019 Royale High. Hell, even 2020, when many of the issues that are present today started to arise, it still felt better than it does now. I miss the online friends I made four years ago and I'll always remember the memories. We'd level up in my farming server, talk, collect diamonds and attend classes. It was the light of my life during the pandemic and so much fun. I love some of the newer sets and accessories in the game, but I miss the actual gameplay and especially Enchantix High and the Fantasia hotel. Sometimes I'll play a little ever now and then, but I'll mostly go to Campuses 1 and 2 to chill out, dress up, go to classes and do some people watching. Sorry for the long comment, I just really miss the old Royale High. It was the only game I played on Roblox for years and I was proud to be one of the highest level players. Then they removed the effective farming routines, older items and maps and the game was just ruined.
@@feiflyawayy and the old music!! I still have a playlist of the older soundtracks and I listen to it to calm down or play if I choose to play the classic campuses. The music alone makes me want to sob
@@feiflyawayy yes!! I was so angry when they removed the songs!! Some of them were already in the public domain too and nope, they were removed. They're so soothing to listen to, cry and remember the magic of old Royale High :)
before i start yapping I just want to mention -I spent all my robux on those stupid game passes (except the extra diamonds) -I litterally CRIED to my mom to let me play RH (we were on vacation) -I had dreams about getting halo's and about future updates.. -It was like my only personality trait! basically ALL i talked about to my friends.. (they got sick of me) -I spent 2 years playing that game and what did I get? like 20 shitty items (mostly of them were from unfair trades) ---I was lowkey addicted to that game and did as much as i could to help them but it did NOTHING to help me on my part.. when I finally woke up i realized why tf am I spending sm time on a game that doesn't care less about me? you nailed EVERY point!! i have seen wayyy to many videos like this, but you seem to be the only one that covers the game's greed and its out-of-touchiness with its community!! it used to be my favorite game because it was the first game I ever played on roblox and at one point it was the *only* game I played!! now it's just another money hungry game. people need to start waking up! RH doesn't care about us! the players need to STOP crawling back whenever they release a Chat GPT like apology!! they don't give a shit!! i wish more people would boycott because they won't change otherwise!! OPEN UR EYES PLEASEE!! i hate seeing it fall apart like this, but I am not going to put up with their greed, overpriced items and ignorance anymore! Tysm for making this video the more people talk about this the more RH starts waking up! (also your soo pretty like omgg 😍)
As an ex rh UA-camr, this is honestly so sad to see. The community used to be filled with wholesomeness but it’s become toxic. Those Christmas and Halloween seasonal updates were the most sought after events but now they are repetitive and boring. I wish I could see the rh community thrive again but it’s hard to even believe it will ever get better 🥹💔
I love that you talked about the drastic change from 2017 to now. Back then, it felt like there was infinite games to play, but nowadays I’ll scroll for minutes and not find anything that isn’t cash grab garbage. Sad to say I’ve given up on Roblox for the most part, I only really play if friends invite me nowadays. Off topic but you’re gorgeous omfg
Honestly the only reason I still play is because I was one of those lucky ones who never stopped playing and had a decent amount of diamonds and items to get by. Everything is so expensive and somehow having 500k diamonds is still considered poor in this economy.
i miss the charm of the old items and skirts, they were simple, but they were really cute. I also miss when people would actually roleplay in the royale high school, now you have to ask to roleplay
Something else you forgot to mention is its absolute lack of inclusivity for males. As a masc person myself, I tried to play Royale High because I love roleplaying just to be disappointed because all the custom male bodies were twink body types that looked identical to the female body types. Not to mention that the arms would always break whenever I tried on any of these body types…There are limited masc faces, there are limited masc clothes, and there are limited masc hairs…Literally even the map itself is clearly catering towards girls and more feminine people in general, which sucks because I personally am not a fan of it and would love to use my characters in a more dark setting.
When I think of this convo dress to impress comes to mind. The body for the men is all slouched and not cute at all. The faces are chad alpha male esque. The clothes are sparse. It’s so stupid to me.
i feel like the game should have a mode where you can select the school colour for yourself. that way they can still cater to their main audience- which is girls- whilst still meeting the guys needs. and yeah the way they erased the male body type in the game is kinda weird considering its meant to be inclusive??
I use to love royal high, but it was probably one of the most safest places for predators. The amount of pdos and toxic people ruined the fun of royal high ruined my experience playing the game. I realized all the time I had spent farming in sunset island went to nothing and I had wasted and put so much into a game that ended up failing.
royale high was literally what inspired younger me to start writing and drawing , i wouldnt have been able to do what i do now without it, but it really lacks the inspiration for kids' imagination now . its not fun and whimsical and creative like it used to be , and whenever children play it, its just a bunch of people much older than them farming and taking up space, and even bullying them for being 'poor' sometimes. it lacks the inspiration for children, especially young girls, to create and play and imagine. ik this sounds dramatic, but when i was younger and played this, it really did inspire me, and a lot of ppl i know too . its js not a fun game anymore
Literally you have no idea how sad I've been because of roblox, it's so changed now and they are SO money hungry. roblox needs to change, everybody needs to change on roblox (bad devs), especially rh. tysm for this video it's really hard to edit and do these stuff in my opinion so i think you did a great job explaining
unpopular opinion: I *HEAVILY* dislike Royale High’s remodel. I used to play back when Meep City, Jailbreak, Natural Disaster, Flood Escape, and Bake a Cake were popular. I remember the mermaid tails and the magical music while you played, around 2017-2018. Im a lot older now, and honestly have no interest in gaming anymore. I tried to play Roblox, but no joy comes out of it anymore. Probably cause I lost interest, of course, and have more academics to focus on now but still. But when I saw this video, it brought so much nostalgia. What has this amazing game turned into??
the new rh is so overwhelming, i grew up playing 2018-2019 rh and literally nothing is the same. it's only fun to play if you already have friends (because lets be real most people aren't that nice) or if you login in for nostalgia. even then its not very nostalgic because they got rid of well over 45% of the old game. anyway, amazing job on this video!! new sub
i recently played royale high because i hadnt played it in over a year and wanted to see how the game was doing.. i checked out the new school and it was like a ghost town. I managed to joke around in chat with one person but that didnt last long. i didnt see a single person roleplaying at all. i tried to goof around and start some actual fun in the servers because it was so empty but that barely worked. tho, i do think the story mode thing is pretty cool. ive played royale high for over 4 years so ive experienced the old roleplays people would do and how fun it was. It sucks that you almost never see that anymore.
player from 2020 here. when i played royale high on my chromebook the first time, i LOVED IT. it used to be a place where i could chat with friends and roleplay in general. that same year, i remember when i bought my first pair of wings for *3,000 diamonds.* FOR WINGS. i still play the game now. when you compare 2018 or 2020 to 2024 i'm just thinking "what the heck happened to this game." when i heard that people wanted the game to be sold to someone else, i was like "BUT WHAT IF IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE?!?!" but after watching this video, it made me realize that so much people care about this game and might be willing to make it better. so now i don't care if it gets sold. one thing is for sure that Nightbarbie is ignorant when it comes to this game.
Royale high was everything to me. It was what got me into roblox itself. I’ll never forget the cherished memories it brought me and the joy of making new friends, exploring the world and enjoying the old school style of royal high. These memories are some of the ones I’ll never be able to get back, the community was so alive and amazing to interact with, the cosmetics and the updates were just amazing they never failed us and I enjoyed everything. I miss the old style and aestethic of what used to be of the game. I feel as if it was losing its character and part in its game. It used to be a magical fantasy role play game and now it’s a money spending, trading toxic problematic game. But overall I’m just happy to be part of royale high from the start. The memories and the era was just so nostalgic. RIP royale high. 2017-2023. A game that was truly magical :)
real take: people stopped playing royale high/bloxburg because they were created when we were kids so those games were built on roleplaying but now that we grew up and the creators got money-hungry the games lost their sparkle PS you are so beautiful what😭
bloxburg is not the same as Royal High there are tons of people who still roleplay. they are just in neighborhoods. I understand new players may not know that but yeah. for rh unless you organize a roleplay it is so hard to roleplay.
I remember first playing Royal high in 2017. It was amazing not only because it was a fun game and not everyone was stressing about getting certain things, but also because there was a community and moderation full of developers who seemed to care. I’m a rich player, but I stopped playing for about a year because the game got boring. I joined back one day and realized I was banned from the trading hub. Why? Because a few months ago I gave 250k to my friends and random players for free because of how expensive things were. I reached out to moderation and they said I was exploiting. I stopped playing the game after that forever. If I can’t even help other players get things that they want then I’m sure the devs don’t care about that either.
@@rosytea_ I don’t even know. It’s so disappointing too because now I can’t even give my friends my items after quitting the game :( I have a halo and a bunch of dupes, and I’m a set collector so my friends would love my inventory but I can’t even give them it!!
RH have really, and I mean REALLY bad customer service. You get falsely banned from the game and when you try to reach out for their support email, they never really respond to your email. If you're lucky, they will unban you, but it takes AGES, like literal WEEKS. Unless that you're fortunate, they basically just ghost your email like it's nothing. There's one time players on the leaderboard get falsely banned for no apparent reason yet RH still did nothing to resolve this
As an almost 6 or 7 year player. I remember how happy I was when I was allowed to buy robux to pay for now the cheapest skirt on the market. Just a few years ago I was crying because I couldn't get a whole set on time before the season ended. What a change.
It is sad that royale high isnt a wonderful place where i used to roleplay, but now i roleplay with my friends in fantasia, its feeling for me the same way since we have some magic there.. but its still not same as before.. R.I.G (Rest in glitter) fun from royale high.
I love how in schools 1 & 2, you can LITERALLY have a dorm for FREE!!!!!!!!! School 3/Campus 3 makes you pay to even have somewhere to sleep! Also I loved how Campus 2 actually had activities for you to do and let you experience leveling up with the activities instead of just being restricted to quests!
before i wasnt interested in royale high but nowadays ive seen rps made with royale high. i wanted to do it too but seeing the skirts costing up to 30k, and even some of the accessories to 6k, i kinda just quit after my first day playing. i can see why people are quitting now
I’ve never seen a roblox video so well made and professional?? The intro had me hooked from the start, seriously loved this. I haven’t played royale high in years due to a random permban (still no clue how it happened, tried emailing and got nothing) but god did your clips of enchantix take me back. It was a nice nostalgia trip, and I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
I loved roleplaying. I loved making new characters out of hundreds of available clothes, faces, hairs, and colors. I remember most of my characters, i remember all the time i spent in campus 1. I remember getting to know my roomates, i remember chatting during lunch, i remember getting pissed over never winning prom lol. Campus 2 was nice, it felt smaller. Still perfect, although a little empty, i loved 2's prom. And then i waited. I came and went from the game for years, sunset island was an amazing game, although at that point, it was heavily dependant on what you actually had. Grinding always bored me, but that was the fun of going to class and roleplaying, you didnt have to go out of your way to get diamonds. Time still passed. I miss the hunting games where youd go and find eggs or candies around homestores, those were always so fun and challenging, too bad nobody uses homestores anymore. They made the apartments. Looking back at it now, the apartments were useless. I can understand them being a spawn point to reduce lag, but it did the opposite of reduce lag. Revamped christmas, divinia park, the beachhouses, at that point they lost track of what the game was about. Waited for like, 4 years? School 3 came out. I was so happy. For like 20 minutes. And then i realized that all this time the devs werent actually working, all the screenshots, all the promises, its was all gone. They destroyed the point of the game, their horribly designed castle ruined it. I just wanted more customization. I just wanted to be able to make better characters, I wanted skirts and heels that id never achieve, grinding wasnt what i wanted.
seeing old clips of royale high made me so nostalgic (even tho it was just a few years ago) i hold a lot of memories with friends, random people, and time in that game
honestly i miss the concept of having an actual routine for the highschool, like having breakfast and paying for it, then going to classes according to you schedule and after all of that get ready for the ball or doing homework, i think it gave much more space for RP and also a semi-realistic vibe to it, also you could win a lot of exp and diamonds along the day so it wasn't in vain at all, also because i love life sim games lol
I've been playing Royale High since mid-late 2019, back when things were still pricey, but I had the time to grind for them. I had sets, I had shoes, I had everything. I would roleplay, grind a little, buy new clothes... And then it all came crashing down. At first, I was just annoyed by the fact I couldn't afford anything new, so I would binge all my christmas money on robux just to only be able to afford ice skates. But I had lots of other items for dressing up, so I didn't really care. Then my account was deleted and I had to start from the beginning in early-mid 2023. I realized that I would have to spend hundreds of dollars on this game to get back to where I was- No, I'd have to spend THOUSANDS. Either that or I'd have to spend at LEAST a year straight, 24/7, barely any breaks grinding. None of the items were affordable. I couldn't get anything and I had to rely on the cheapest of skirts and the free catalog of avatar clothes and hairs. I literally couldn't do ANYTHING. The new campus sucked too, no classes except for one where you play musical chairs over and over and over again. That's when I realized Royale High wasn't beginner friendly anymore and I just couldn't play. I haven't played since then. I honestly get more enjoyment from Dress to Impress and Brookhaven, because the only reason I ever played was because I loved designing my avatar and I loved roleplaying on Campus 2. I literally met my first girlfriend there (granted, it was e-dating) and felt my first real enjoyment from a Roblox game.
I just wanted to reach out to this video for those who miss the joy of roleplay in royale high! There is this game called old royale high lobbies which is the same as royale high, but its based of 2017-2018. It doesnt have many active players, but it has a bunch of roleplayers which is soo fun! I did a sleepover with the whole server and met wonderful people and even dressed up as a karen at one point! I even met the owner of that game on the same day of the roleplay! I TELL YOU TO SEARCH THIS GAME ITS THE BEST THING EVER! I would also recommend playing it when an update releases cus more players are active then and their updates are really good! So if u want to roleplay like old Royale High, search Old royale high lobbies! BEST THING EVER! ❤
I’m a 2019 player, i used to play it a lot, i even had one of the old skirts in the game Even though they said they’re gonna rework on it i never saw it update. Goes for the same for the fluttering butterfly and enchantress outfit (kinda forgot what it was named) one day i was bored and decided to play royal high, when i joined the game it apologized to me and gave me 150k+ diamonds, clearly i had no idea what to do since number one i was cosplaying as a boy number two i was only playing for fun and nothing interesting was on the shop So, i went to the artclass instead, basically it was guess the artwork thing Everyone was writing the answers on the whiteboard just for exp points, really unfair and cheating. Oh, yeah back in the day (around 2023) my ex male friend was playing these games so whenever i play it, bad memories appear in my mind again. And, for those deleted outfits, i had royal enchantress sleeves, and fluttering butterfly heels and sleeves, adds up to around 150k
And remember, its either money or time, everything has to do with money. because you have to realize, the more time players spend inside of games, translates into more money, everything barbie has done since the timeline of 2020-2024 was for the sake of, *money* .
for me. it's the fact that child me never wanted to quit royale high. i joined in 2018 and it was by far the most fun i'd ever had playing roblox. it felt authentic, i was addicted. fr i remember getting my first skirt and i ran over to my mum say "look look i got my first ever skirt!!!". the game had this childhood joy to it. i think with modern royale high i feel too embarrassed to role play, i feel like my outfit isn't good enough or isn't valuable, i feel like my diamond count is too low. at first i was more worried for royale high, but then i just started to get angry at the game. "how could they be so careless, do they even want the game to be fun?!" i've quit now and i'm still sad about it. but i think it was just a game i really liked when i was 10, and i should probably just move on.
Finally someone who talks about this especially one of my childhood games I always used to played i had stopped somewhat between 2022-2023 after playing for 6 years and what I’ve heard from royal highs down fall I never and I mean NEVER. Though that royal high was just going down through the drain like that it just sounds at this point that callmehbob doesn’t really care about royal high as much as she used to back then sadly , it breaks my heart hearing that especially when it’s one of ur childhood games just makes u realize all they want is money.
this is so true! i grew up, royale high being one of my favorite games but now it’s changed so much and it was all because of everything you stated in this video, this is really informative for people who don’t know this, thanks! and awesome video
I remember being so excited to come home as a kid and play Royale High, I always had so much fun playing it and even made some of my best friends on the game, now whenever I join it, it’s just cold and boring. Half of the servers no one says anything but: “study sesh?” Or “Class with friends?”, and I end up getting bored after 30 minutes of playing… it really disappoints me because it really was my favorite game, but now it just feels like another one of those pay-to-win games. I really hope someone else who can ACTUALLY take care of it buys it, or atleast Barbie realizes she’s messing the whole game up and fixes it.. i hate to see this happening to my favorite childhood game..
Honestly, i started losing interest when trading came out. I don't think it's trading that ruined the game but you could tell that they stopped taking care of the game after it released. We didn't have an actual update for a 2 whole years after trading released then they randomly decided to build a new school. The player count is so low these days, I think it's a combination of people losing interest in the game and roblox declining in active players as a whole. Even the top games don't have that much players that they used to, especially during summer. Adopt me use to have nearly 300k active players and not it's rare to even see it pass the 100k mark. I've quit royale high as a whole but I still occassionally play other roblox games like bloxburg or mm2. I spend most my gameplay outside of roblox now and play games like genshin
I remember I got the Halloween halo with a ghost on it, and then I didn’t know what to do and just quit. Because there wasn’t anything more. And then I started realizing how much of a nightmare games like royale high are, where they have a rarity and trading system that’s never ending, confusing, and wayyy too expensive. I was especially burnt out during the years when the new school was in development since we would get absolutely NOTHING. No new sets or items, nothing. So I just had nothing to do. And just eventually stopped. I think the idea of “old royale high is better” is dumb, because no, it wasn’t. The graphics were so bad and role playing was more or less the same emo girl with a secret who liked Jake story. You don’t miss royale high, you miss being happy. And you miss when royale high wasn’t so capitalistic. Also I think there’s a thing called premium payout (or something), where developers earn money by how long you stay in the game. So, that might explain why farming is so tedious and why the devs are doing nothing about it.
The devs obviously don’t care and I’m so upset. I spent my money on this game, therm it eventually goes down, I’d actually like a refund. I’ve spent sweat and tears on this game, i hate to see it go but things need to change or everyone is going to get tired of it. The least they could do is add more things, bring inflation down, make it an actual GAME instead of a story game. The 3rd campus ruined it. It’s so pretty but it’s an eyesore. I hate what the fact that the game is going down. I’ve been playing since primary school, back when autumn town was a thing even! Everything is overpriced, people are leaving and to be honest?? It’s just boring. I play it just to get my money worth. It’s sad, man. It’s so sad.
I can't believe I'm a dude who only 'played' Royale High once but I still log in EVERY DAY to get the free stuff. I basically watched the game deteriorate in the background, seeing the videos such as this pop up in my feed. The few times my friend and I tried to get into the game we were turned off by the amount of colours and stuff popping up on the screen. Always had admiration for the game and I liked looking at what was happening in the community (in case I wanted to make a video on it). Sad to see everything slowly break down from an outside perspective.
I would always play Enchantix High and I thought it was the best game ever. I loved how everyone would all roleplay together and no one had to spend any money. I stopped playing it for a few years and finally came back to it last year. It was so hard for me to catch up with everyone. When I finally did catch up, I quickly got bored with nothing to do. Then I realized I had been sucked in by the game. I had spent all my money, wasted all my time, and all for nothing. I was really just thinking, "okay, now what?" No one was treated equal anymore. Even when I wanted to play Sunset Island just because I was proud of my outfits, everyone was so competitive and was rude for no reason. I went from loving this game to completely being against it. I can't believe how much I fell for the game and all their tricks. I know lots of people now are too, and its actually sad. I know this is a lengthy paragraph, 😬 but I really do feel the game has let us all down.
4:20 you are so right about this entire part. Roblox is literally not the game it was six years ago. I remember getting on with my friends playing games whether it be jail break, meep city, adopt me, murder mystery, or royale high. It’s so sad to see that now it's basically just a dating app for teenagers.
At this state, Royale High is only seen as an ending simulator. you grind, get diamonds, then buy utterly ridicoulously overpriced items. and for what? to fit in and have a beautiful and pretty avatars like others. spent money and time, for what? to have everyhting in the game. and what do we do after collecting various items nonstop. all this time and money spent for a vitual game which its Developers do not care, not even a little bit. im just really sad what royale high has become, i miss the old face of the game and the love and happiness there was. i will forever miss old royale high, the game my child self used to love and adored.
I remember playing the old Winx High lobbies and I can’t even find them anymore, it breaks my heart because when it switched to Royale High you could still play Winx High lobbies for a while and then they got removed
this is so underrated! and yes i agree, i used to LOVE rh but i didn't have hours to get stuff. i wasnt rich. i took a break from roblox and lost my acc so i made a new one. it is so confusing to me (the new school) and i cant get anything because is=ts so expensive and time consuming!
I used to spend hours on royal high leveling up, saving diamonds, playing with friends but now when the new school came, i was js bored. The school isnt even a school, its just an aesthetic place where you can make videos or take photos 😂. Theres no action anymore and the amount of robux i spent on this game just to not play it anymore is crazy
I always loved roleplaying in royale high but lately nobody is roleplaying anymore and the ones i see are ONLY love storys where i become the bff thats just there to support so it just feels like a romance show,all that people do is argue,farm,and dress up,im not against farming most of the time but PLEASE try to live a little,i have ALL the gamepasses and had a private server for about 3-5 months,i have spent way too much money on that game but i dont find any real joy from playing anymore unless i find atleast one nice person and i understand not wanting to talk to people (i have social anxiety even if its not that bad) but last time i played I would go weeks seeing SILENT servers,no roleplays,and everyone just doing quests and also completely avoiding social quests,i have so many items and gamepasses but the game literally makes me so tired in a single HOUR of farming and i want to play it since its such a beautiful game but i cannot handle how money hungry they are
You're so well spoken and gorgeous!! Also your editing style is v cute and you made some really good points. I used to play Royal High every now and then with friends, but now I don't really want to play at all. It just gets exhausting every time I start to play to get more diamonds, and I have no intentions on spending that much money on one game either. I only play maybe two or three times a year now at most.
The new campus is gorgeous, but I wish they had added roleplay elements. The prices are just ridiculous. I'm upset and I miss when it was more active. I hope they can have a nostalgia day and bring back Enchantix and the hotel.
I can’t be seen missing this game, bc I managed to run It off my roblox continue playing tab, and like, there’s nothing for me there anymore , it got so boring, Rh died the moment the super mario galaxy observatory theme 3 was removed , that was the games essence . I forget the issues to why the game died and everyone is distancing themselves, but I can’t go back, it’s not worth it
I used to LOVE roleplaying on RH back in the day with my best friend... but the last few times we tried roleplaying in servers we just got made fun of for roleplaying, which breaks my heart because I remember we used to have so much fun roleplaying for HOURS on the game!!!! So sad that it's become what it is today, I still play for the outfits but I find myself getting bored after a few weeks and not coming back for months after that.
tbh i love farming, and getting diamonds idk why tho, that makes royale high fun for me (roleplaying is not rlly my thing), and decorating dorms and spending dims on new sets and existing items is what i love to do, but i can tell why ppl can be frustrated about this but in my opinion i love this about royale high, because couple years back when i first started royale high in 2018 it was fun but i quickly had gotten bored of it nearly not touching the game for about 3-4 years then around the end of 2022 i got back into the game, but then once left again for a whole year because it was quite boring but once the new campus 3 had come out at around middle to end of 2023 thats where i really started enjoying royale high and playing the game everyday, and till this day I am still playing enjoying the new royale high. So i can understand why ppl are criticising this game about these features but there are still people out there who love this about royale high so in the end i found it quite harsh that ppl boycott the game or say harsh comments when you need to realise that if a game is not what u like nor what ur interested in to not make comments and just let ppl play the game but everyone has an opinion just like i do but the amount of hate is quite sad.
Royale High has turned into a scummy rip-off. You can’t do a SINGLE thing without having to spend money (robux)! We need to stop giving these developers more money just so we can have a few dress-up items in the game. If you don’t believe me, then just check out the game and you’ll realize that everything is basically paid. And now, they are FORCING people to buy their overpriced dolls just so they can have dress-up items. 50 bucks for a LITTLE DOLL?! Could be sued. Plus, the community has become completely toxic! You’ll get bullied because you don’t spend hundreds of dollars on overpriced items. The developers never listen to what the players want, and just continue to add more overpriced junk. More and more people are rising to hate the game, and I don’t blame them one bit. Sorry for the long comment.
yeahh, rh was a safe space back then. you could make friends easily, explore different realms, and dress up too! nothing was super expensive, and could be obtained with little effort. for 2 years, 2020-2022 (for me, at least) rh was the best game ever. now, though? it's quite literally a scam
It wasn't destined to fail, the creators and administrators are shaping it's destiny. If there was better administration and creating POV, this game would not have a downfall, your points are really valid, this game really went from being so simple and fun to play, to a literal grinding game, I remember we had an announcement that we needed to pay BILLS to stay in campus, which Ik for a fact if it was still here, the people playing the game rn would've quit as well.
I quit when trading came out because that ruined it for me. I was an OG player as it was one of the first games i ever played on the platform 8 years ago. I knew it would turn into a farming game and that’s i’d never be able to enjoy the actual game itself.
I’ve quit playing rh for around a year now even quit roblox completely but still check up on updates on videos when I’m bored,everything is so draining and I grew out of it.and now I play Genshin impact,Honkai star rail,Cookie run kingdom and Minecraft it’s way more fun and less toxic than roblox after I’ve played it
Ik some players say they are moving to Astro Renasiance but they aren't bc they don't know how to start or what to do. BUT HOWEVER, yall need too, it has so many items and its so easy to farm. You get 2 free sets, a halo, and u can afk farm for all the items. The developers don't have any controversy from what I know and it's so inclusive compared to RH. I've been playing 2-3 days and I alrdy almost have everything in game, there's so much to do including quests and maps.
I 100% agree with this, as a player that has been playing full time since late 2017 to now, it has honestly gotten so bad with the increase in prices for things. I am a 2023 graduate and for someone who was already struggling in school from an incredibly young age, joining the royale high community at a time where i was just entering high school, I didn't think it would effect me as much as it did. I will be honest, part of it was my fault but, I am a collector in the game which means, I spent and still spend a lot of time grinding diamonds just so I can reach ends meet with the new updates and overly priced sets that are coming out and if I am only just making enough to get the new things, I cannot imagine how hard it is for new players. I think Royale High is definitely not beginner friendly in any way possible and it has gotten incredibly boring with all of the trading and farming. I personally don't trade often but, going in there and seeing the people that are just decked out in halos and over priced items, they become very very selfish and egotistical. I really hope Royale High decides to look into their players opinions and recommendations more so that we can bring back the fun side of it.
i had people telling me to take my video down for being hateful and reporting(not ok). Royale high community, this is immature behavior. criticism is required for any media you can think of. i need to make this clear that in no part in the video did i ever slander or send any hate or foul intentions to anybody, nor royale high. i need to be clear on the stance that royale high needs change to successfully grow now. its time for them (royale high devs) to listen to the community.
In the community a lot of them are literaly kids who doesn't understand criticism.. and yes criticism sometimes can be harsh but its still important it will make the game better, People need to understand that we give opinions/criticism bcuz we care and want the game to do better.
im an og portal room mermaid tail era player who quit in the repeat/no update era like last year or two years ago, and i can tell you whole heartedly, this game had charm and a real feeling you had playing it once. and now that feeling is gone. oh cool! i got some diamonds or a shiny new set of earrings! big whoop.
like and i was a boy too, ive been here since before the royale high twinks and jakes as well. and im straight and cis to add on to it. this game truly fell from grace, and whenever i get on it i judt dont feel happy at all. i dont even care about getting a halo anymore because i have tried for years since the feature came out but some new 2024 january player comes and they win like 5. not to mention NEVER getting items in the wheel anymore nor my dream item. what truly ruined it was the shitty trading economy feature, and the removal of anything "legacy" which you should make a video on
and also, the game lost sight of what it truly was: a roleplay dress up game. now its a bunch of weirdos freaking out because the "value" of a pixelated corset went down a few billion diamonds. and diamonds too! it just wasnt easy for casual players just wanting fun, it has to be a huuuuuge grind for months if that
@@FrankieChicken good video idea! im just scared to talk about royale high now because of their insane comments and mass reporting
the old dorms were straight up *chef’s kiss*
the way you have to transport between everything now is sickening, even different parts of the schools and the dorms

I used to be obsessed with RH, made sure to finish school on time, jours on end with leveling, and farming, etc. Role-playing, there are so many things I've enjoyed, now it's boring, and when a new phase comes, I'm like, "ok cool," and head to play games outside of roblox, (started playing gacha games, or other dress up games) It feels like I grew out of the game. I had fun with the game I grew up with. I've been slowly growing out of roblox as a whole and felt like a long roller-coaster ngl. Great video.
ame i grew out of royale high i havent play it for a long time.
Yes, I wish we would have enjoyed the game way way more before its downfall I miss it so much it has a lot of nostalgia
I really relate!
I still play Royale High because it reminds me of when I was younger (10-11) and playing Royale high. It’s definitely not the same and definitely changed, but some of the stuff is still there, it just got a glow up.
I found 2 games that made me stay on roblox lol those games were Dress to Impress and The Mystical Guardians(this ones a gacha game and farming for currency is actually not that grindy and doesnt even look like roblox reminds me so much of the old Royale high a little bit)
i’m not sure if anyone remembers this, but one of my favorite events that royale high did was for easter in 2017-2018?? it was when you would go to clothing stores and stuff like that and look for eggs, it definitely helped people get noticed by a lot of users, and it was unique but obviously they got lazy and decided to repeat the same event over and over after… they had so much potential, i just wish they would listen to their player base
omg i love that easter event, it had the best accessories and finding all the eggs were so fun.
omg!! i remember these too, i think they also had a halloween event similar to this? i don’t remember for which year, but these used to be so fun!! everyone would get together and help complete mazes or searches together :) i miss it so much!!
I LOVEDD THAT ONE, ive switched accounts & completely stopped playing royale high since then but i always used tons of the items from that.
It was 2019 easter I remember too!
Literally my Roman Empire I wish they would bring it back
its also maddening that you have to spend diamonds on items to do your quests, royale high also lacks providing information for noobs cause ive literally had multiple newbies come up to me on what to do in the game
Fr. And the fact that vending machine items r 25 DIAMONDS EACH. Not that much but it rly adds up 😬
Royale high is not in any way newbie friendly. It's genuinely sad because I'm sure a lot of people would love to play but probably get turned off because of how everyone else already knows how to play and the community is still pretty toxic(usually though, the players are pretty friendly if you go up and talk to them in game, it's mostly just social media). Not to mention how long it takes to get anything in the game.
@@tabitharust304 Exactly, and most noobs start with one quest slot only, and if they get any quest such as the study sesh or any quest related where you have to purchase an item they will literally not be able to do that quest and they'd have to wait like an hour for them to have a chance on gaining diamonds
@@doramips which is so stupid!!! I'm so hoping that they actually add new(less time consuming, I guess not necessarily easier) ways to get diamonds in the rest of the new school like they said cuz.... Whatever they have right now is NOT it.
@@doramipsand the next quest might not even be available for them
The rebranding part was what made me super upset, opening royal high hurts my eyes now because everything is so pastel and just way too decorated.
Exactly. It’s more like a cathedral now than a school.
I really like the simple dezign of the old school! Feels like a real school but it might just be nostagia.
dude i opened up the game for old times sake, waited more than 20 minutes, and not even half the game had loaded in.
everything is too pink and bright, I love pastel colors but they should tone it down it's an eyesore
i love the colors. but i miss the simpler design and times. i also miss enchantix high and fantasia hotel. it sucks they got removed. i made so many friends and would roleplay all the time. now, i have moved on, but i still play rh just for sunset island bc i still see a lot of nice things going on. i just miss the old times tbh.
THIS EXACTLY.
- spent all my robux on the gamepasses and now i feel obligated to play rh cause wow that money…
- failed many exams because i decided to play rh new updates late in the night, if i didnt id become broke in game (.? that was so stupid?)
- i played rh for 4 years and i managed to get a halo FROM AN ART COMMISSION. all “rich items” i have wasnt from farming but commissions and endless giveaways i joined.
- bought all gamepasses, farmed for sooo long and many hours (to the point I GOT SCREEN TIME.) just for me to not even own all sets in games.
- lost many friends over this game, ridiculous
- yet im still holding onto the thought that this game will improve and its that princesse game that hits the spot for me in my heart.
- had a mental breakdown when i lost my 321 streak in game ???
i hate seeing this game fail, literally adore this game so much but im so tired 😭
Same omg ☹️
I've played RK2 and Astro Renaissance before, and I'm not saying that they're dogsht games, but I felt as if they couldn't compare to how fun Royale High used to be. Despite how dystopian, toxic, and laggy/glitchy Royale High has become, I still play it all the time. I wish the game would get sold to devs that would take actual good care of Royale High and that hopefully they would reverse some updates that massively disappointed the community, like the removal of the Campus 2 diamond locations.
@@chaus1ku no fr, like the memories i made, GOLD, but the game now has so much potential but its not being fulfilled to its potential. idk what it is, but either the game steps up or someone else who can take the role does.

It went from 70k players to
7k cc players and its only gonna go down as things get pricier and pricier and pricier until they’re just too much.. even though I quit years community was so nice, not rude or grindy everyone WANTED to roleplay and talk with others we were completely hyped for the updates and new sets.
I quit about 3-4 years ago, everything was getting expensive EVEN THEN I would offer my entire inventory for 1 item and it would still not be enough. Removing enchantix was the worst decision they could’ve ever made and it SHOULD be reverted..
fr removing Enchantix and the hotel was the worst decision those were the only places people would still roleplay, and the copyright excuse is so stupid. So you are telling me you can years making a school that is not even finished but you can't change the winx images and add copyright-free music? I bet that would take less time and people would probably still play the game in those areas.
@@AraAraHM WHATTTTT I DIDNT KNOW THEY REMOVED THE HOTEL!!?? IM FUMING RN 😤😤

oh babe you understood it wrong. barbie cannot JUST "revert" enchantix high. thats not easy. Enchantix was based off winx and had copyrighted stuff in there, and barbie could literally have her life put in danger and her husbands just for someones entertainment. She could get sued for over 150k$ dollars for copyright infrigment if Enchantix and Hotel werent removed. Besides, they were old and outdated.
@@AraAraHM they cant just "FIX " IT. its more complicated than you think. its either barbie pays 150k dollars in fines for copyright infrigment and have the realms removed and POSSIBLY have ROYALE HIGH as a whole removed, or , she could remove the realms causing the trouble and NOT have her life ruined.
I use to play RH back in the day when the mermaid tails were available,I’d just screw around with my best friend and we’d watch random girls fight over some basic boy. I miss those days,now everyone’s grinding and no one’s role playing,and I feel so weird playing it now because I feel like I don’t belong anymore
i was never really into it, only when i was a kid. i made this video with one month of experience in the new royale high. its hard, its not the same at all and so expensive. they can release "roleplay features" all they want, but it doesnt change the fact that the whole point of the game is to make money. ive been trying to get into royale high after making this video to understand better and because i do like the game. but its so frustrating nobody listens to the actual problem(money) and now theyre adding roleplay features which will not be utilized because the structure of the game is MAKE MONEY. 😩😩

@@Ruby...Xsame ❤ i used to roleplay so much in old pokemon games and royale high omg
Some royale high discord servers have roleplay channels where people can join royale high roleplay servers/groups. If you'd like to find people to roleplay with, I highly recommend this method!
Frr I got made fun of for roleplaying in rh
Played since 2018, the shots of old royale high at the beginning were so nostalgic 😭😭😭
Facts I miss it😭
For real! Like I still remember very vividly about that Era of Royale High to the point it feels like I've played it yesterday. I still remember how MUCH I hated the chemistry class in the game because I lost every time! 😂
Exchantix was especially special to me since we could pick our own element, and I loved being the earth and fire fairy. Everyone was just doing their own thing, and their avatars looked nice. I still remember the mermaid tails
Same i almost teared up actually
It made me tear up INSTANTLY
some games dont need too much rebranding, rebuilding or upgrades. they just need bug fixes and building, that was royal high. new sets every so often and maybe a few new places on the map would have been fine. now the whole game is different, you might not even know what to do (i have been playing for so long and now i dont even know what im supposed to do). the UI is so differently styled, everything is too bright. the new school is so laggy and useless. the nostalgia i had when seeing the old rh game hit hard
yeah I agree with that tho-
I even have a hard time playing the game nowadays with graphics turned all the way down. ... That probably says something about my computer it's pretty old but rip mobile users as well, you think a game like royale high would be able to optimize its space more for low end devices? So more people can play? I know they are trying their best, but there is already SO MUCH stuff in the game and they keep adding more and there aren't very many options to have the game run better
Also EEW I just hate what they did for the toggles and dress up menu overall you have to go back into the dress up menu every time you wanna change the toggle and it's good for a ton of customization but it can be a LOT- 😅 the dress up menu is also kind of unorganized, and at this point there are so many faces, so many hairstyles, and SO MANY patterns and clothing it is so hard to find one that works for you. Sometimes I wish there were less options(or maybe.. pages to sort the different categories? That would be easier to organize, I think. And they definitely need to add more labels to sort everything more efficiently)
@@tabitharust304 i have a pretty good device and the game isn’t even suitable for me. it takes way too long to load in and some places in the map are so unesseacry 😭
if you still want to play royale high i recommend turning down your graphics bc some pcs it can be very laggy with high graphics! also recommend looking up tutorials for quests because some can be a bit confusing if what you're interested in is diamonds and getting cute outfits! with the wand on the side bar you can still teleport to other realms so you can roleplay because in the new campus it is a bit more difficult to roleplay if you want to do a school roleplay with the classes. much love

LOLLLL
its so sad for me, I grew up with Roblox i remember i never felt the need to buy robux or even ask for it. I could enjoy the games without feeling like i needed to spend money. I grew up with Royale High, JailBreak, Speed Run 4, and other games around 2018-2019. I love Royale High as a kid and i still do, I remember Role-playing and actually making friends in the game, and not because of the VC or because of Discord communities. Farming before was never really my objective, but literally just having fun. I remember seeing the first video that got me into it, Enchantix High as the game that was being played and even if it wasnt so detailed like campus 2 or even campus 1 i enjoyed it so so much. Now all I do on Royale High is farm up to 5-6 hours only to barely get 7k diamonds(without multipliers). Its honestly sad seeing myself get bored with a game i loved so much i just wish players would interact more, other than just spamming "Study sesh?" in the chat, and just lowering the prices atleast 30% down. Anyways i know a lot wont read this but Royal High is one of my favorite games ever, i still find myself going into it even if its just to farm which kinda saddens me since theres basically no updates (ik their allegedly working on campus 4), and if there is the sets that come with it are like 100-200k i like thats just plain crazy kids arent supposed to play that long, like its so hard to play without multipliers it just saddens me that the new gen of kids that play Roblox wont get to experience actual enjoyment.
I feel the exact same way :/
i
I want the old diamond beach back
I’m sorry, I know this is a little out of the blue, but they’re making a campus 4? When the already made a campus 3? What’s the reason for this?
@@MavieHeartfrl tho, like what’s the point of it if it’s actually true?! Besides, campus 3 isn’t even finished so I find it really stupid.
I think an important thing to note is that Royale High themselves has made it virtually impossible to roleplay. They removed the two places that were still filled with roleplay and they replaced it with campus three, which teleports you to a new server every time you enter a different room. Even if you were to find roleplayers, if you aren’t friends, you’d lose them the minute you went to your dorm, or the bathing quarters, or the courtyard, or anywhere. The loading screens are tedious and it makes roaming around the school impossible and annoying. the experience doesn’t feel like you’re in this big school that you can explore because you have to wait for your screen to be done loading to enter any other room or spot in the palace. I get that it’s a big game and it helps prevent lag, but the earlier games never needed this. You can’t talk with your friends in chat if they’re in the dorm and you’re in the courtyard, because you’re in different servers. Ntm the school isn’t even finished, many of the important rp features haven’t even been implemented yet. Or they’re behind a paywall (like being a counselor, for example). Hell, up until recently, there was only one class! And it might’ve been the most boring mini game I’ve ever played on roblox.
agree 100%
This is why I’m so excited for campus 4 that’s supposed to come out soon, it’s going to be more like campus 1/2 and be all connected with classes and stuff
@sof.5846 there's gonna be a campus 4? is it gonna take 3 years again 😭
@@sof.5846wdym there’s going to be a campus 4, they ain’t even finished with this one 😭
As someone who still rp in Royale high we don’t rp in the new campus usually for that reason that we can’t communicate with each other in different rooms so we have to rp in campus 2 or 1 it’s difficult with some bugs that still are in campus 2 like if your carrying someone into a different room your screen goes black not too big of a deal but it’s still difficult to rp in a game that only cares about the newest items
This is exactly why I stopped playing Royal High. While the game is drop dead gorgeous, everything is too expensive, and I don't have the time, nor do I want to spend hours of every day farming on a game for a pair of shoes, when I could be doing something more productive.
Fr.
Same
honestly. campus one was not good looking at all, but the simplicity of it was what made it fun. i absolutely hate how the only thing anyone cares about now is money.
Literally TRIED to RP with my friend however the community is so judgemental and rude that I had to go to a private server just to get things done and be left alone. However, I've at least FINALLY found new little kids joining the game again and rping just as the school was once intended for and it genuinely warms my heart. I always try my best to help them navigate the game and make the community better bc it is disheartening to see what RH is now.
i havent seen an rp for a while. i remember always playing enchantix high and fantasia getaway and making friends and having fun. same for old rh. i still play rh sunset island sometimes cuz i still see some wholesome interactions. ive still continued to rp and in some servers, others would join cuz i found out they greatly missed it. oh, and i also encountered some likely young kids who were rping and they welcomed me and i helped them throughout the game. one of the most wholesome moments ive had for a while. oh and removing enchantix high and fantasia hotel was the worst decision ever.
@@rainbowunicorngirl2187EXACTLY! I’m convinced Fantasia and Enchantix High were probably the best parts of Royale high because it was where roleplaying came alive, if you know what I mean. Sometimes I just want to revisit Royale Hugh since it was my favorite game for so so long, but it’s so different and it’s no longer as fun to play.
I was very excited for the new school, but you know that feeling where you have been waiting for a LONG time for something and everyone has created this idea in your head and once you actually get there, you realized it was not how you were expecting?
Don’t get me wrong, the new school is gorgeous, but it’s too much.

this state of royale high is so bad i wanna cry, im not even kidding.. and this sounds so stupid but who wants to go to a server and roleplay or smth. cause im literally begging for nostalgia rn and the roleplays back then made me so happy, it was why i even played the game. now its all farming and grinding...i have 100k dims. but all that would get me would be like 1 pair of heels. i remember when i first joined royale high i used to roleplay and do funny stories without thinking it could be lost so simply. now all my friends are gone, or in a bad state, or maybe all they do is just grinding. its not the same. but im too scared to say anything because its 2024. who roleplays these days? i mean, one time i joined royale high campus 2 and found a few new players roleplaying and i joined their roleplay.. it was so cute and fun but that was the last time i ever really experienced happiness in royale high..

2. Rh is not friendly to new players
3: Rh is very expensive now
4: Rh has changed, as with any game, but it’s also changed too much from its base game
5: Rh leans heavily into the pastel cute aesthetic, which may deter players with other aesthetics
6: Rh is very feminine based, which may deter male players
7: Rh needs to fix things soon, or they will lose far more players than they bargained for

I remember how I used to play Royale high EVERYDAY. I would even roleplay by myself. I recall how the Christmas updates were my favorite, but now everything seems so dead.
You join a server now, and the chats almost completely empty.
Me and my best friend would always troll roleplayers when we were bored, but they're just gone now.
I belive a partial reason for this is, yes, growing up.
But the amount of money that you need to get for simple heels or a skirt are too much, it's too much. New players can't even get stuff unless they grind endlessly for months and months.
Royale High has lost it's spark.

@@laurenc1226 I remember I bought the game pass for flying speed and troll around with players like flying into their dorm and hiding in the corner
I joined Royale High during the original enchantix era, Updates to the game were about excitement and how the players can enjoy it. Yes items were expensive but if you worked hard you could earn something. What I find with the new school is it looks pretty but they havent added much fun playability in things like classes and enjoyable content like balls the original games had. Its boring and only about toxic trading now.
TRUTH AND SAME
Dude trading is a MAJOR reason that RH sucks now. Bc it’s all about grind, money, and getting the best shit. What about the rp? Or having fun playing the mini games and creating new characters? Damn I miss it
I miss the oldest campus so much; the winx-inspired one! Everyone wanted to roleplay back then and my friends and I would create the most dramatic storylines 😂 I miss those days so so much, I wish I could go back :(
atp i dont think the devs and barbie takes the game seriously anymore, they take way too long to release new updates, overprice things for no reason, and they never listen to what the players wants for them to improve. thats why a lot of people quit.. it has become into another cash grab game where they just dont care about anything else other than money
yea maybe royale high is not their passion anymore, but just work to them now. which is pretty sad if true
I think people really need to begin to realize RH has become a cashgrab, it’s not just the multipliers that raised prices in the stores, but it’s also because these game passes and the diamond store is the only way that RH can make money- my guess is that when the playerbase went down they just lowered the value of diamonds so people would be forced into buying them using money :/
they know they will still have players who will keep farming diamonds and trading for halos, so i guess since that guarantees players and people getting multipliers they dont see the point :/
I doubt that Barbie even cares about her own game anymore. I have no idea how she still tolerates Launce as the co-owner of RH despite him being a racist and ableist scumbag. Plus the dev team is soooo out of touch with the community. No matter how much people have convinced them, they'll still refuse to listen to their community, own up their mistakes and actually change. Barbie used to be so passionate about working on RH, but now she doesn't really care about her game anymore. And rocket Launcher will still continue to be a dork.
Stuff gets severely expensive because RH expects you to spend more time on the game and spend robux on gamepasses so they can profit off you. They don't realise that doing so will only cause more players to quit the game. At this point RH has become a pay to win cashgrab, it is impossible to play normally unless you spend money on it, plus multipliers are a complete scam right now
wow, an end of an era. (for me at least)
i used to play royale high so much to the point where my mornings and evenings were always fun (i started in 2019 of december), at first i was hesitant because yk im a male and i grew up in a homophobic environment so i trashed on it. in 2020 of january i tried playing it secretly and well i enjoyed it so much. i didnt have the need to get these or that i was having fun with the free clothes, hair, and my treasure satchel with the rp name ~ Conny ~ 16 ~ Member of the Bad Owls Club. royale high has taught me so much growing up royale high taught me how to love, how to make friends and how to dress up with style. the game is the reason why the pandemic era was so memorable to me. i also found my lifelong friends there who are still with me up until now after 4 years of meeting. every day and night id hop onto royale high and just yk go to school try and win the prom, make some friends act like you’re superior than everyone else bcs u unlocked trading (xd) oh the times. now its just “get this for 300k diamonds and get no updates for 2 years” core. idk if its just me growing up now that im 15 and i used to play royale high when i was 11 up until i was 14. royale high needs to step up their game for their newer players and make it feel the exact same for kids growing up in 2024 similar to the vibe that the kids (like me) were getting in 2020. hope u guys get my point 😓🤍
OMG WAIT is it just me or do I remember you from somewhere like I feel like I've seen u in game before
Helppp I also started playing rh in December of 2019 the game was full of rp back then, but like a weeks after the trading hub came out everything changed
The only time I would ever go back to Royale high would be just to cosplay as random game characters
just like me fr
i go on there to either look like my fav game characters or chill in my virtual padded cell
RH used to be about living in a magical fantasy and school that almost every little girl wanted where everyone wanted to be on time for classes, win prom, make friends and being able to enjoy this fantasy life. But now everyones competing and constantly trying to get the newest sets of clothes by spending hours and hours of afk farming or just dumping thousands of robux to trade for these sets, it seems like no ones really happy anymore. RH kinda lost its magic of being a fantasy land and became a game of showing off clothes and cosmetics, which really males me sad because as a little child RH was like my getaway to spend time with friends to role-play but now its just about how many clothes you have.
Omg I remember watching you on the Astro Renaissance video, but I couldn't comment as I was on a school Chromebook, but everything said here is so true. Like I joined Royale High around 2020 and I feel like people actually roleplayed and did stuff back then, and also it was a lot less toxic. Then around March 2020 Nightbarbie released trading hub and I could tell the game was going to be changed with this. I noticed when trading came out a lot of people started making halo charts and that also caused halos to fluctuate in price as they have now. I remember playing the game too with my old friends and just having fun. We didn't care if we weren't high enough level for beta testing, trading, or doing profit trading, it was just about having fun. Only those who had actually time to farm would do so, but there wasn't much pressure in leveling up ang grinding (unlike now). You can even see the change with the leader boards the highest-level players. It used to be around 15k - 10k, which was mlpandwinxfairypony and still is, and some other people (I forgot the names). But now she is up to level 70k in only 2 years when before she would only level around 2k around every 2-3 months. You could tell the change even effected the leaderboard as leveling up became more serious for them too. It's like she knew this would all happen, so she had made all these new game passes out and ready for everyone spend to make herself money. Also, I forgot to add she makes a ton off of premium payout too (which is when your premium and whenever you join the game you give the developer 1 robux, which can really add up over time) and how long people play her game, as if you didn't know the longer you play a Roblox developers game the more money you are giving (especially if you are premium), which is why the simulators on Roblox are so addictive now on Roblox, it's to keep you on their game as long as possible.
Edit: Even if RH actually died right now and stopped having players, she still already made millions off the game, so she is set work free for some years.
wow perfectly said. amazing analysis
@@ofemwa Is it okay for me to edit my comment and fix grammatical errors please, because if I edit my comment, I will lose the heart and pin.
@@rosexoxo_Roblox yes
Couldn't say it better myself.
It sucks how the route RH is going. Because I now don't even try and get my dream items, etc. Especially since I'll be an adult this year, school, specifically maybe going to art school (I'm going to an art place to study to get a glimpse of what my potential career path leads me).
Back on topic: I've slowly cared less about the updates RH gets (the same-old new hair, colors etc.) I don't even know what would come up with RH in 10 years or so. RH's exterior and interior look beautiful, I was at least 10 or a little older when I learned and became obsessed every day, even gotten better with math (3 months to get a million diamonds). I remember slacking off, or stressing over RH for being unable to obtain an item from the winter event. Now thst I'm 17 I just been focusing on school, my future art career, part time job soon, learning to drive, basically I got a life to live through, but now I've been playing other decent games, yet I fear I might repeat the obsession I had as a child.
I’ve always thought the trading hub messed up royale high a bit. Just like how I used to play adopt me but stopped playing when the pets** came out. It’s the same thing.
I used to be excited to finish online school just to play royale high. Ever since those changes were made, royale high lost its magic. Nowadays, it feels boring, and just empty... When the Hunt came out, i was dedicated to get every item and spent hours upon hours playing it, and I was so frustrated by all these cashgrab games, that when the event ended, I felt myself slowly growing out roblox.
Now every game in roblox seems boring and I havent found that joy of being eager to join a game after school
You're not alone, im growing out of royale high too and roblox itself. It's true that games have gone boring now :(
especially real due to that roblox in its entirety part.. i used to play roblox embarrassingly much but there’s barely any good games now
@@abandonedchannel fr, now I'm switching to minecraft for the time being, especially now that every game that i play doesnt have updates
I've been drifting away from roblox and rh. I just cannot enjoy the game like I used to. I'm playing the sims 4 now to try and fill the empty void that roblox and rh left.
ive grown out of roblox slightly, but i got my friends to make it joyful. ive definitely grown out of rh but i still play sunset island here and there. nowadays, im playing a bit of minecraft, writing a book online and also playing games on ps5 with my dad.
all that preparation for the new school just it to be a flop is kinda funny they deserved it ngl 😭like everything is just extremely expensive that its so hard to enjoy the game
as someone who played RH since 2017 it really makes me so sad how they ruined the game. i used to be on the top 100 level leaderboard in 2019 when divinia first came out (not the park) and i had over 2M diamonds at the time, it was really rare at that time to be rich in the game because most people only knew how to farm diamonds through leveling, which is what i did as well. imo the fall of rh began on the 2022 dewdrop springs update when they removed the diamond locations in the new school that was released in 2018, that's really the only effective farming method and especially since how they removed it after trading got released and with the inflation of the sets it didn't make it better either, i quit completely after that update because there was no point if the main point of the game was no longer to rp and dress up but to buy rare items and seasonal sets, which they literally made it harder to do so by removing the diamond locations in the rh campus 2, and they didn't even lower the price of the sets and trading inflation still stayed the same. i then came back to check out the new campus, and i was so disappointed as when it released you could barely do anything, and they released it in waves (which i thought was a good idea at first but the amount of "content" that they talked about having with the new campus was just so little to what i was expecting) they should have never released it in waves, not to mention the mechanic of having to load into the other parts of the castle which is so annoying because if you want to go to a different part of the castle you can't just walk in, you have to wait 10-15sec for it to teleport you to the designated part of the castle. and when i found out that you could decorate your lockers and dorm rooms i thought "oh! this is so cute!" and then i looked at the prices. who is even able to afford that after removing the diamond locations? through leveling? because it's just ridiculous and it's honestly so sad how i grew up with this game and it turned into this.
I hear you, I was also on the leaderboard back in 2019 and even though I got stressed out by it (it was a personal thing), the game was just so much better as whole and I want to cry Everytime in think of 2018 and 2019 Royale High. Hell, even 2020, when many of the issues that are present today started to arise, it still felt better than it does now. I miss the online friends I made four years ago and I'll always remember the memories. We'd level up in my farming server, talk, collect diamonds and attend classes. It was the light of my life during the pandemic and so much fun. I love some of the newer sets and accessories in the game, but I miss the actual gameplay and especially Enchantix High and the Fantasia hotel. Sometimes I'll play a little ever now and then, but I'll mostly go to Campuses 1 and 2 to chill out, dress up, go to classes and do some people watching. Sorry for the long comment, I just really miss the old Royale High. It was the only game I played on Roblox for years and I was proud to be one of the highest level players. Then they removed the effective farming routines, older items and maps and the game was just ruined.
@@ladyangelsongbird thats exactly how i feel, 2018-2019 rh was the absolute best and everytime i think about the era i feel so nostalgic and sad
@@feiflyawayy and the old music!! I still have a playlist of the older soundtracks and I listen to it to calm down or play if I choose to play the classic campuses. The music alone makes me want to sob
@@ladyangelsongbird omg u get me i used to farm dims in 2021 while listening to the old music 😭
@@feiflyawayy yes!! I was so angry when they removed the songs!! Some of them were already in the public domain too and nope, they were removed. They're so soothing to listen to, cry and remember the magic of old Royale High :)
before i start yapping I just want to mention
-I spent all my robux on those stupid game passes (except the extra diamonds)
-I litterally CRIED to my mom to let me play RH (we were on vacation)
-I had dreams about getting halo's and about future updates..
-It was like my only personality trait! basically ALL i talked about to my friends.. (they got sick of me)
-I spent 2 years playing that game and what did I get? like 20 shitty items (mostly of them were from unfair trades)
---I was lowkey addicted to that game and did as much as i could to help them but it did NOTHING to help me on my part.. when I finally woke up i realized why tf am I spending sm time on a game that doesn't care less about me?
you nailed EVERY point!! i have seen wayyy to many videos like this, but you seem to be the only one that covers the game's greed and its out-of-touchiness with its community!! it used to be my favorite game because it was the first game I ever played on roblox and at one point it was the *only* game I played!! now it's just another money hungry game. people need to start waking up! RH doesn't care about us! the players need to STOP crawling back whenever they release a Chat GPT like apology!! they don't give a shit!! i wish more people would boycott because they won't change otherwise!! OPEN UR EYES PLEASEE!! i hate seeing it fall apart like this, but I am not going to put up with their greed, overpriced items and ignorance anymore! Tysm for making this video the more people talk about this the more RH starts waking up!
(also your soo pretty like omgg 😍)
As an ex rh UA-camr, this is honestly so sad to see. The community used to be filled with wholesomeness but it’s become toxic. Those Christmas and Halloween seasonal updates were the most sought after events but now they are repetitive and boring. I wish I could see the rh community thrive again but it’s hard to even believe it will ever get better 🥹💔
I used to watch your videos everyday:0
Omg I used to watch ur videos sm I loved them 😭💗
The editing on this video is literally everything
right
I love that you talked about the drastic change from 2017 to now. Back then, it felt like there was infinite games to play, but nowadays I’ll scroll for minutes and not find anything that isn’t cash grab garbage. Sad to say I’ve given up on Roblox for the most part, I only really play if friends invite me nowadays. Off topic but you’re gorgeous omfg
thank you ^^
i really miss enchantix. i wish we could still visit the old school, everyone just focuses on farming and buying items now
Honestly the only reason I still play is because I was one of those lucky ones who never stopped playing and had a decent amount of diamonds and items to get by. Everything is so expensive and somehow having 500k diamonds is still considered poor in this economy.
i miss the charm of the old items and skirts, they were simple, but they were really cute. I also miss when people would actually roleplay in the royale high school, now you have to ask to roleplay
Something else you forgot to mention is its absolute lack of inclusivity for males. As a masc person myself, I tried to play Royale High because I love roleplaying just to be disappointed because all the custom male bodies were twink body types that looked identical to the female body types. Not to mention that the arms would always break whenever I tried on any of these body types…There are limited masc faces, there are limited masc clothes, and there are limited masc hairs…Literally even the map itself is clearly catering towards girls and more feminine people in general, which sucks because I personally am not a fan of it and would love to use my characters in a more dark setting.
When I think of this convo dress to impress comes to mind. The body for the men is all slouched and not cute at all. The faces are chad alpha male esque. The clothes are sparse. It’s so stupid to me.
TWINK BODY TYPES😭😭😭😭
i feel like the game should have a mode where you can select the school colour for yourself. that way they can still cater to their main audience- which is girls- whilst still meeting the guys needs. and yeah the way they erased the male body type in the game is kinda weird considering its meant to be inclusive??
I KNOW ALL MY MALE AVATARS LOOK FEMININE AND ITS ANNOYING ME SM
male faces and hair look like ass now... every male face can also be found in the female category too :/
I use to love royal high, but it was probably one of the most safest places for predators. The amount of pdos and toxic people ruined the fun of royal high ruined my experience playing the game. I realized all the time I had spent farming in sunset island went to nothing and I had wasted and put so much into a game that ended up failing.
royale high was literally what inspired younger me to start writing and drawing , i wouldnt have been able to do what i do now without it, but it really lacks the inspiration for kids' imagination now . its not fun and whimsical and creative like it used to be , and whenever children play it, its just a bunch of people much older than them farming and taking up space, and even bullying them for being 'poor' sometimes. it lacks the inspiration for children, especially young girls, to create and play and imagine. ik this sounds dramatic, but when i was younger and played this, it really did inspire me, and a lot of ppl i know too . its js not a fun game anymore
*imo* royale high had so much potential but it was all wasted
fr..
Nah it peaked but went downhill
@@teabag3211 I still remember being excited abt unlocking the trading system in 2021 lol
2018-2021 royale high definitely hits different :(
Literally you have no idea how sad I've been because of roblox, it's so changed now and they are SO money hungry. roblox needs to change, everybody needs to change on roblox (bad devs), especially rh. tysm for this video it's really hard to edit and do these stuff in my opinion so i think you did a great job explaining
ive been here since 2016 and it feels so weird to see how much its changed :(
unpopular opinion: I *HEAVILY* dislike Royale High’s remodel. I used to play back when Meep City, Jailbreak, Natural Disaster, Flood Escape, and Bake a Cake were popular. I remember the mermaid tails and the magical music while you played, around 2017-2018. Im a lot older now, and honestly have no interest in gaming anymore. I tried to play Roblox, but no joy comes out of it anymore. Probably cause I lost interest, of course, and have more academics to focus on now but still. But when I saw this video, it brought so much nostalgia. What has this amazing game turned into??
the new rh is so overwhelming, i grew up playing 2018-2019 rh and literally nothing is the same. it's only fun to play if you already have friends (because lets be real most people aren't that nice) or if you login in for nostalgia. even then its not very nostalgic because they got rid of well over 45% of the old game. anyway, amazing job on this video!! new sub
i recently played royale high because i hadnt played it in over a year and wanted to see how the game was doing.. i checked out the new school and it was like a ghost town. I managed to joke around in chat with one person but that didnt last long. i didnt see a single person roleplaying at all. i tried to goof around and start some actual fun in the servers because it was so empty but that barely worked. tho, i do think the story mode thing is pretty cool. ive played royale high for over 4 years so ive experienced the old roleplays people would do and how fun it was. It sucks that you almost never see that anymore.
You’re so pretty!
ty!!
OMG ROYALE DIOR!
hii and right
player from 2020 here. when i played royale high on my chromebook the first time, i LOVED IT. it used to be a place where i could chat with friends and roleplay in general. that same year, i remember when i bought my first pair of wings for *3,000 diamonds.* FOR WINGS. i still play the game now. when you compare 2018 or 2020 to 2024 i'm just thinking "what the heck happened to this game." when i heard that people wanted the game to be sold to someone else, i was like "BUT WHAT IF IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE?!?!" but after watching this video, it made me realize that so much people care about this game and might be willing to make it better. so now i don't care if it gets sold. one thing is for sure that Nightbarbie is ignorant when it comes to this game.
Royale high was everything to me. It was what got me into roblox itself. I’ll never forget the cherished memories it brought me and the joy of making new friends, exploring the world and enjoying the old school style of royal high. These memories are some of the ones I’ll never be able to get back, the community was so alive and amazing to interact with, the cosmetics and the updates were just amazing they never failed us and I enjoyed everything. I miss the old style and aestethic of what used to be of the game. I feel as if it was losing its character and part in its game. It used to be a magical fantasy role play game and now it’s a money spending, trading toxic problematic game. But overall I’m just happy to be part of royale high from the start. The memories and the era was just so nostalgic. RIP royale high. 2017-2023. A game that was truly magical :)
real take: people stopped playing royale high/bloxburg because they were created when we were kids so those games were built on roleplaying but now that we grew up and the creators got money-hungry the games lost their sparkle
PS you are so beautiful what😭
THIS
FOR REALL! I started when I was 9 and I’m 14 now. it took me a few months to realize I probably just grew out of the gsme
bloxburg is not the same as Royal High there are tons of people who still roleplay. they are just in neighborhoods. I understand new players may not know that but yeah. for rh unless you organize a roleplay it is so hard to roleplay.
but those neighborhoods are filled to the point that chat is speeding through the rping happening in chat in bloxburg neighborhoods is TOO lively. lol
I remember first playing Royal high in 2017. It was amazing not only because it was a fun game and not everyone was stressing about getting certain things, but also because there was a community and moderation full of developers who seemed to care. I’m a rich player, but I stopped playing for about a year because the game got boring.
I joined back one day and realized I was banned from the trading hub. Why? Because a few months ago I gave 250k to my friends and random players for free because of how expensive things were. I reached out to moderation and they said I was exploiting. I stopped playing the game after that forever. If I can’t even help other players get things that they want then I’m sure the devs don’t care about that either.
How an they insinuate you were exploiting because you gave your own currency in-game over to others? How is that even exploiting... :( so sad.
@@rosytea_ I don’t even know. It’s so disappointing too because now I can’t even give my friends my items after quitting the game :( I have a halo and a bunch of dupes, and I’m a set collector so my friends would love my inventory but I can’t even give them it!!
RH have really, and I mean REALLY bad customer service. You get falsely banned from the game and when you try to reach out for their support email, they never really respond to your email. If you're lucky, they will unban you, but it takes AGES, like literal WEEKS. Unless that you're fortunate, they basically just ghost your email like it's nothing. There's one time players on the leaderboard get falsely banned for no apparent reason yet RH still did nothing to resolve this
how horrible . . .
i could never get into royale high because everything was so expensive and i have adhd so everything got too repetitive
real!!
As an almost 6 or 7 year player. I remember how happy I was when I was allowed to buy robux to pay for now the cheapest skirt on the market. Just a few years ago I was crying because I couldn't get a whole set on time before the season ended.
What a change.
It is sad that royale high isnt a wonderful place where i used to roleplay, but now i roleplay with my friends in fantasia, its feeling for me the same way since we have some magic there.. but its still not same as before.. R.I.G (Rest in glitter) fun from royale high.
I love how in schools 1 & 2, you can LITERALLY have a dorm for FREE!!!!!!!!!
School 3/Campus 3 makes you pay to even have somewhere to sleep! Also I loved how Campus 2 actually had activities for you to do and let you experience leveling up with the activities instead of just being restricted to quests!
THE NOSTALGIA OF ENCHANTIX AT THE BEGINNING IS GONNA MAKE ME CRY 😭
before i wasnt interested in royale high but nowadays ive seen rps made with royale high. i wanted to do it too but seeing the skirts costing up to 30k, and even some of the accessories to 6k, i kinda just quit after my first day playing. i can see why people are quitting now
I’ve never seen a roblox video so well made and professional?? The intro had me hooked from the start, seriously loved this.
I haven’t played royale high in years due to a random permban (still no clue how it happened, tried emailing and got nothing) but god did your clips of enchantix take me back. It was a nice nostalgia trip, and I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
9:54 HOLY S- YOURE GORGEOUS WTH… ur so pretty
tysm!!
I loved roleplaying. I loved making new characters out of hundreds of available clothes, faces, hairs, and colors. I remember most of my characters, i remember all the time i spent in campus 1. I remember getting to know my roomates, i remember chatting during lunch, i remember getting pissed over never winning prom lol. Campus 2 was nice, it felt smaller. Still perfect, although a little empty, i loved 2's prom. And then i waited. I came and went from the game for years, sunset island was an amazing game, although at that point, it was heavily dependant on what you actually had. Grinding always bored me, but that was the fun of going to class and roleplaying, you didnt have to go out of your way to get diamonds. Time still passed. I miss the hunting games where youd go and find eggs or candies around homestores, those were always so fun and challenging, too bad nobody uses homestores anymore. They made the apartments. Looking back at it now, the apartments were useless. I can understand them being a spawn point to reduce lag, but it did the opposite of reduce lag. Revamped christmas, divinia park, the beachhouses, at that point they lost track of what the game was about. Waited for like, 4 years? School 3 came out. I was so happy. For like 20 minutes. And then i realized that all this time the devs werent actually working, all the screenshots, all the promises, its was all gone. They destroyed the point of the game, their horribly designed castle ruined it. I just wanted more customization. I just wanted to be able to make better characters, I wanted skirts and heels that id never achieve, grinding wasnt what i wanted.
seeing old clips of royale high made me so nostalgic (even tho it was just a few years ago)
i hold a lot of memories with friends, random people, and time in that game
honestly i miss the concept of having an actual routine for the highschool, like having breakfast and paying for it, then going to classes according to you schedule and after all of that get ready for the ball or doing homework, i think it gave much more space for RP and also a semi-realistic vibe to it, also you could win a lot of exp and diamonds along the day so it wasn't in vain at all, also because i love life sim games lol
THIS OMG
I've been playing Royale High since mid-late 2019, back when things were still pricey, but I had the time to grind for them. I had sets, I had shoes, I had everything. I would roleplay, grind a little, buy new clothes... And then it all came crashing down. At first, I was just annoyed by the fact I couldn't afford anything new, so I would binge all my christmas money on robux just to only be able to afford ice skates. But I had lots of other items for dressing up, so I didn't really care.
Then my account was deleted and I had to start from the beginning in early-mid 2023. I realized that I would have to spend hundreds of dollars on this game to get back to where I was- No, I'd have to spend THOUSANDS. Either that or I'd have to spend at LEAST a year straight, 24/7, barely any breaks grinding. None of the items were affordable. I couldn't get anything and I had to rely on the cheapest of skirts and the free catalog of avatar clothes and hairs. I literally couldn't do ANYTHING. The new campus sucked too, no classes except for one where you play musical chairs over and over and over again. That's when I realized Royale High wasn't beginner friendly anymore and I just couldn't play.
I haven't played since then. I honestly get more enjoyment from Dress to Impress and Brookhaven, because the only reason I ever played was because I loved designing my avatar and I loved roleplaying on Campus 2. I literally met my first girlfriend there (granted, it was e-dating) and felt my first real enjoyment from a Roblox game.
I just wanted to reach out to this video for those who miss the joy of roleplay in royale high! There is this game called old royale high lobbies which is the same as royale high, but its based of 2017-2018. It doesnt have many active players, but it has a bunch of roleplayers which is soo fun! I did a sleepover with the whole server and met wonderful people and even dressed up as a karen at one point! I even met the owner of that game on the same day of the roleplay! I TELL YOU TO SEARCH THIS GAME ITS THE BEST THING EVER! I would also recommend playing it when an update releases cus more players are active then and their updates are really good! So if u want to roleplay like old Royale High, search Old royale high lobbies! BEST THING EVER! ❤
I’m a 2019 player, i used to play it a lot, i even had one of the old skirts in the game
Even though they said they’re gonna rework on it i never saw it update.
Goes for the same for the fluttering butterfly and enchantress outfit (kinda forgot what it was named) one day i was bored and decided to play royal high, when i joined the game it apologized to me and gave me 150k+ diamonds, clearly i had no idea what to do since number one i was cosplaying as a boy number two i was only playing for fun and nothing interesting was on the shop
So, i went to the artclass instead, basically it was guess the artwork thing
Everyone was writing the answers on the whiteboard just for exp points, really unfair and cheating.
Oh, yeah back in the day (around 2023) my ex male friend was playing these games so whenever i play it, bad memories appear in my mind again.
And, for those deleted outfits, i had royal enchantress sleeves, and fluttering butterfly heels and sleeves, adds up to around 150k
And remember, its either money or time, everything has to do with money. because you have to realize, the more time players spend inside of games, translates into more money, everything barbie has done since the timeline of 2020-2024 was for the sake of, *money* .
for me. it's the fact that child me never wanted to quit royale high. i joined in 2018 and it was by far the most fun i'd ever had playing roblox. it felt authentic, i was addicted. fr i remember getting my first skirt and i ran over to my mum say "look look i got my first ever skirt!!!". the game had this childhood joy to it. i think with modern royale high i feel too embarrassed to role play, i feel like my outfit isn't good enough or isn't valuable, i feel like my diamond count is too low. at first i was more worried for royale high, but then i just started to get angry at the game. "how could they be so careless, do they even want the game to be fun?!"
i've quit now and i'm still sad about it. but i think it was just a game i really liked when i was 10, and i should probably just move on.
I WAS EXPECTING A DARK THEMED DOCUMENTARY WASNT EXPECTING A CUTE THEMED ONE I LOVE THIS, I LOVE YOUR VOICE TOO!!
Finally someone who talks about this especially one of my childhood games I always used to played i had stopped somewhat between 2022-2023 after playing for 6 years and what I’ve heard from royal highs down fall I never and I mean NEVER. Though that royal high was just going down through the drain like that it just sounds at this point that callmehbob doesn’t really care about royal high as much as she used to back then sadly , it breaks my heart hearing that especially when it’s one of ur childhood games just makes u realize all they want is money.
this is so true! i grew up, royale high being one of my favorite games but now it’s changed so much and it was all because of everything you stated in this video, this is really informative for people who don’t know this, thanks! and awesome video
Righttt ☹️
I remember being so excited to come home as a kid and play Royale High, I always had so much fun playing it and even made some of my best friends on the game, now whenever I join it, it’s just cold and boring. Half of the servers no one says anything but: “study sesh?” Or “Class with friends?”, and I end up getting bored after 30 minutes of playing… it really disappoints me because it really was my favorite game, but now it just feels like another one of those pay-to-win games. I really hope someone else who can ACTUALLY take care of it buys it, or atleast Barbie realizes she’s messing the whole game up and fixes it.. i hate to see this happening to my favorite childhood game..
Honestly, i started losing interest when trading came out. I don't think it's trading that ruined the game but you could tell that they stopped taking care of the game after it released. We didn't have an actual update for a 2 whole years after trading released then they randomly decided to build a new school. The player count is so low these days, I think it's a combination of people losing interest in the game and roblox declining in active players as a whole. Even the top games don't have that much players that they used to, especially during summer. Adopt me use to have nearly 300k active players and not it's rare to even see it pass the 100k mark. I've quit royale high as a whole but I still occassionally play other roblox games like bloxburg or mm2. I spend most my gameplay outside of roblox now and play games like genshin
"cute ui but angry players" That could've been the whole video and still i would like it
I remember I got the Halloween halo with a ghost on it, and then I didn’t know what to do and just quit. Because there wasn’t anything more. And then I started realizing how much of a nightmare games like royale high are, where they have a rarity and trading system that’s never ending, confusing, and wayyy too expensive. I was especially burnt out during the years when the new school was in development since we would get absolutely NOTHING. No new sets or items, nothing. So I just had nothing to do. And just eventually stopped.
I think the idea of “old royale high is better” is dumb, because no, it wasn’t. The graphics were so bad and role playing was more or less the same emo girl with a secret who liked Jake story. You don’t miss royale high, you miss being happy. And you miss when royale high wasn’t so capitalistic.
Also I think there’s a thing called premium payout (or something), where developers earn money by how long you stay in the game. So, that might explain why farming is so tedious and why the devs are doing nothing about it.
The devs obviously don’t care and I’m so upset. I spent my money on this game, therm it eventually goes down, I’d actually like a refund. I’ve spent sweat and tears on this game, i hate to see it go but things need to change or everyone is going to get tired of it. The least they could do is add more things, bring inflation down, make it an actual GAME instead of a story game. The 3rd campus ruined it. It’s so pretty but it’s an eyesore. I hate what the fact that the game is going down. I’ve been playing since primary school, back when autumn town was a thing even! Everything is overpriced, people are leaving and to be honest?? It’s just boring. I play it just to get my money worth. It’s sad, man. It’s so sad.
royale high was one of my fav childhood roblox games and it’s sad to see more games fall down like this :(
I can't believe I'm a dude who only 'played' Royale High once but I still log in EVERY DAY to get the free stuff. I basically watched the game deteriorate in the background, seeing the videos such as this pop up in my feed. The few times my friend and I tried to get into the game we were turned off by the amount of colours and stuff popping up on the screen. Always had admiration for the game and I liked looking at what was happening in the community (in case I wanted to make a video on it). Sad to see everything slowly break down from an outside perspective.
I would always play Enchantix High and I thought it was the best game ever. I loved how everyone would all roleplay together and no one had to spend any money. I stopped playing it for a few years and finally came back to it last year. It was so hard for me to catch up with everyone. When I finally did catch up, I quickly got bored with nothing to do. Then I realized I had been sucked in by the game. I had spent all my money, wasted all my time, and all for nothing. I was really just thinking, "okay, now what?" No one was treated equal anymore. Even when I wanted to play Sunset Island just because I was proud of my outfits, everyone was so competitive and was rude for no reason. I went from loving this game to completely being against it. I can't believe how much I fell for the game and all their tricks. I know lots of people now are too, and its actually sad. I know this is a lengthy paragraph, 😬 but I really do feel the game has let us all down.
4:20 you are so right about this entire part. Roblox is literally not the game it was six years ago. I remember getting on with my friends playing games whether it be jail break, meep city, adopt me, murder mystery, or royale high. It’s so sad to see that now it's basically just a dating app for teenagers.
At this state, Royale High is only seen as an ending simulator. you grind, get diamonds, then buy utterly ridicoulously overpriced items. and for what? to fit in and have a beautiful and pretty avatars like others. spent money and time, for what? to have everyhting in the game. and what do we do after collecting various items nonstop. all this time and money spent for a vitual game which its Developers do not care, not even a little bit. im just really sad what royale high has become, i miss the old face of the game and the love and happiness there was. i will forever miss old royale high, the game my child self used to love and adored.
I remember playing the old Winx High lobbies and I can’t even find them anymore, it breaks my heart because when it switched to Royale High you could still play Winx High lobbies for a while and then they got removed
this is so underrated! and yes i agree, i used to LOVE rh but i didn't have hours to get stuff. i wasnt rich. i took a break from roblox and lost my acc so i made a new one. it is so confusing to me (the new school) and i cant get anything because is=ts so expensive and time consuming!
I used to spend hours on royal high leveling up, saving diamonds, playing with friends but now when the new school came, i was js bored. The school isnt even a school, its just an aesthetic place where you can make videos or take photos 😂. Theres no action anymore and the amount of robux i spent on this game just to not play it anymore is crazy
I always loved roleplaying in royale high but lately nobody is roleplaying anymore and the ones i see are ONLY love storys where i become the bff thats just there to support so it just feels like a romance show,all that people do is argue,farm,and dress up,im not against farming most of the time but PLEASE try to live a little,i have ALL the gamepasses and had a private server for about 3-5 months,i have spent way too much money on that game but i dont find any real joy from playing anymore unless i find atleast one nice person and i understand not wanting to talk to people (i have social anxiety even if its not that bad) but last time i played I would go weeks seeing SILENT servers,no roleplays,and everyone just doing quests and also completely avoiding social quests,i have so many items and gamepasses but the game literally makes me so tired in a single HOUR of farming and i want to play it since its such a beautiful game but i cannot handle how money hungry they are
I really want old royale high back, it was fun, no drama, it's just pure nostalgia. I miss RH in the 2010s take me back there now.
You're so well spoken and gorgeous!! Also your editing style is v cute and you made some really good points. I used to play Royal High every now and then with friends, but now I don't really want to play at all. It just gets exhausting every time I start to play to get more diamonds, and I have no intentions on spending that much money on one game either. I only play maybe two or three times a year now at most.
The new campus is gorgeous, but I wish they had added roleplay elements. The prices are just ridiculous. I'm upset and I miss when it was more active. I hope they can have a nostalgia day and bring back Enchantix and the hotel.
I can’t be seen missing this game, bc I managed to run It off my roblox continue playing tab, and like, there’s nothing for me there anymore , it got so boring,
Rh died the moment the super mario galaxy observatory theme 3 was removed , that was the games essence . I forget the issues to why the game died and everyone is distancing themselves, but I can’t go back, it’s not worth it
I used to LOVE roleplaying on RH back in the day with my best friend... but the last few times we tried roleplaying in servers we just got made fun of for roleplaying, which breaks my heart because I remember we used to have so much fun roleplaying for HOURS on the game!!!! So sad that it's become what it is today, I still play for the outfits but I find myself getting bored after a few weeks and not coming back for months after that.
Man literally hardly no more rping people values it's all just about values
tbh i love farming, and getting diamonds idk why tho, that makes royale high fun for me (roleplaying is not rlly my thing), and decorating dorms and spending dims on new sets and existing items is what i love to do, but i can tell why ppl can be frustrated about this but in my opinion i love this about royale high, because couple years back when i first started royale high in 2018 it was fun but i quickly had gotten bored of it nearly not touching the game for about 3-4 years then around the end of 2022 i got back into the game, but then once left again for a whole year because it was quite boring but once the new campus 3 had come out at around middle to end of 2023 thats where i really started enjoying royale high and playing the game everyday, and till this day I am still playing enjoying the new royale high. So i can understand why ppl are criticising this game about these features but there are still people out there who love this about royale high so in the end i found it quite harsh that ppl boycott the game or say harsh comments when you need to realise that if a game is not what u like nor what ur interested in to not make comments and just let ppl play the game but everyone has an opinion just like i do but the amount of hate is quite sad.
Royale High has turned into a scummy rip-off. You can’t do a SINGLE thing without having to spend money (robux)! We need to stop giving these developers more money just so we can have a few dress-up items in the game. If you don’t believe me, then just check out the game and you’ll realize that everything is basically paid. And now, they are FORCING people to buy their overpriced dolls just so they can have dress-up items. 50 bucks for a LITTLE DOLL?! Could be sued. Plus, the community has become completely toxic! You’ll get bullied because you don’t spend hundreds of dollars on overpriced items. The developers never listen to what the players want, and just continue to add more overpriced junk. More and more people are rising to hate the game, and I don’t blame them one bit. Sorry for the long comment.
I totally agree! And with their new bingo update, now we’ve got to pay MONEY to get items?
yeahh, rh was a safe space back then. you could make friends easily, explore different realms, and dress up too! nothing was super expensive, and could be obtained with little effort.
for 2 years, 2020-2022 (for me, at least) rh was the best game ever.
now, though?
it's quite literally a scam
It wasn't destined to fail, the creators and administrators are shaping it's destiny. If there was better administration and creating POV, this game would not have a downfall, your points are really valid, this game really went from being so simple and fun to play, to a literal grinding game, I remember we had an announcement that we needed to pay BILLS to stay in campus, which Ik for a fact if it was still here, the people playing the game rn would've quit as well.
I quit when trading came out because that ruined it for me. I was an OG player as it was one of the first games i ever played on the platform 8 years ago. I knew it would turn into a farming game and that’s i’d never be able to enjoy the actual game itself.
this is literally my thoughts on rh and roblox itself in one youtube video
I’ve quit playing rh for around a year now even quit roblox completely but still check up on updates on videos when I’m bored,everything is so draining and I grew out of it.and now I play Genshin impact,Honkai star rail,Cookie run kingdom and Minecraft it’s way more fun and less toxic than roblox after I’ve played it
"2017 just finished elementary school" made my chuckle bc I was entering high school around that time😭
Ik some players say they are moving to Astro Renasiance but they aren't bc they don't know how to start or what to do. BUT HOWEVER, yall need too, it has so many items and its so easy to farm. You get 2 free sets, a halo, and u can afk farm for all the items. The developers don't have any controversy from what I know and it's so inclusive compared to RH. I've been playing 2-3 days and I alrdy almost have everything in game, there's so much to do including quests and maps.
I 100% agree with this, as a player that has been playing full time since late 2017 to now, it has honestly gotten so bad with the increase in prices for things. I am a 2023 graduate and for someone who was already struggling in school from an incredibly young age, joining the royale high community at a time where i was just entering high school, I didn't think it would effect me as much as it did. I will be honest, part of it was my fault but, I am a collector in the game which means, I spent and still spend a lot of time grinding diamonds just so I can reach ends meet with the new updates and overly priced sets that are coming out and if I am only just making enough to get the new things, I cannot imagine how hard it is for new players. I think Royale High is definitely not beginner friendly in any way possible and it has gotten incredibly boring with all of the trading and farming. I personally don't trade often but, going in there and seeing the people that are just decked out in halos and over priced items, they become very very selfish and egotistical. I really hope Royale High decides to look into their players opinions and recommendations more so that we can bring back the fun side of it.
