game design is important. it's the baseplate of everything when it comes to a game. it will never matter how pretty you make it, how much time you spend on it, how many things you add to it, because if your game design fails, your entire game will fail with it.

4/8 - Royale High Updated!
- They removed two-year round sets allegedly due to “copyright,” meaning the cheapest year-round set is Miss Lady Rose at 76k. The only other option is Dear Dollie at 120k.
- They renamed the Cherry Blossom Kimono Set to remove any cultural references to the Japanese Kimono instead of giving it a rework.
- You can buy dorm saves for 8k but you have to rebuy items to place in different saves.
They are continuing to make the game unfriendly to the main instincts that drive them, in this case, self-identification and collecting.
what a pathetic game.
Sigh...
I know right
Digging their own grave right now guys 💀
man they’re just doing it themselves this point, when r they gonna sell it💀
Royale High was originally a silly game where you could roleplay as a princess, fairy, or whatever else you wanted to be, go to classes with your friends, and try to get all the items you wanted to make your dream outfit. Now it's a mindless grind for diamonds with only the occasional interaction with other people, and you can't even go to prom anymore. It could be compared to Bloxburg in the sense of the grind, in that case, but at the very least you could roleplay once you finished making your house; in Royale High you grind for the items you want and then quit the game until something new drops.
Making a dorm is so expensive, it takes more than 15k like what
Except bloxburg is much better
@@Gootrax nah, I had like 45k for my dorm and I had like 2k after buying like 3 items 😭
One CZcamsr spent like 4 million. Where the hell am I going to get four million diamonds from?
Nobody even roleplays anymore even tho it's supposed to be a ROLEPLAY GAME, and roleplaying by yourself now is just seemed as weird... even if nobody wants to do it with you
this aint royale high this is royale low 💀💀
Real ☠️
underrated comment😭
Literally so real
Royale high prices
Can’t wait for the Royale High Depression
Honestly, it all went downhill after trading was added. Trading essentially turned it into adopt me but with fewer scams, completely eliminating roleplays. I genuinely haven't seen a roleplay in a good while.
agreed
Finally someone said it!
With trading they made items far more expensive, limiting players to create unique avatars. I can't enjoy sunset island because I have no items relating to the themes
Trading ruins EVERY GAME. It explicitly puts emphasis on owning things one can’t obtain by themselves, making it so the game fundamentally excludes new players and encourages constant grinding, making it so nobody does anything else. It’s just how it makes games act!
From trading, to the new school being added. It's just sad
Royal high flopped when they removed the mermaid tails.
Real (I still have 4 of them and they are the sole reason I still play the game aside from Halloweed items.)
@@Nox.x_ART I used to have a lot before I got banned from the account that had them

You know what is worse? Yes the items are expensive but it wouldn’t be a problem if farming Diamonds was fun. Farming diamonds are so boring. I thought that it was going to be fun when sunset island came out but it even made it worse bc of afk farmers and unfair voting system.
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD POINT. i completely agree 🙏🙏
It also need to not be as time consuming cuz grinding hrs on a game isn’t healthy! Most of their fan base are kids that are in school as well…
the voting system is literally so unfair bro Me and some other players would literally work so hard just to get the right fabrics and accessories meanwhile it only being a 15 minute time limit (idk i honestly forgot the number i have played in like 4 months) just for a person with the wrong theme and absolutely no accessories to get voted first place
Even then, sunset Island is still the most fun way to grind diamonds. #1 choice when I want to grind. But God, its annoying. I want to put in effort, but there's never enough time, it would be nice to have a majority vote system to add time. Also just not enough reward for the effort, the most I can buy after an hour or two of grinding, is a necessary accessory needed to possibly get a top score (10k diamonds usually).
and how long the intermission is, it's so boring to wait!
Also, with the role playing section, you CANNOT have role plays in which you have your own room, where you sleep, spend free time etc due to the fact you have to pay for everything, and it's all extremely overpriced, People are on average spending 400k-2M on their dorms, combining that with the fact it would take an hour or so to get even 20k WITH 6x multipliers makes it extremely difficult to have a dorm.
So basically, the only way to RP is by having loads of Robux, which most RPers by default are kids below 16, Basically people without that much money or just not looking to steal a credit card won't play RH to RP since dorms are a key part in RPs usually or just a place to sleep
As a person who's spent over 1 mil on my dorm outta pure boredom. I agree the dorms are way too expensive and kinda lack a lot items needed in a dorm. Barely any kitchen items, bathroom furniture doesn't exist. I had to spend extra trying to make a sink. No modern furniture like tvs or electronics in general.
can't believe irl rent prices made their way into royale high 😭😭
I thought the dorms were gonna be like campus 2 :(
What I find most annoying about this is I saw leaks for elemental dorm furniture (I personally assume you would of gotten some of or all of it w what element u chose) as well as elemental dorms which would of been AMAZING for roleplay and was so looking forward to both of them imagine the disappointment when I realised there was no elemental dorms or furniture
Hello another college dev here!
All these points are fantastic, but I wanted to add a specific snag I noticed as to why the game is crashing so hard. The essential game loop has never once changed, so us older players (the highest game audience percentage) get loop exhaustion from going from point A to point B to point C and then repeating that same line of work over and over again. Good games either keep you engaged with harder UI skills and a steep learning curve to master or a more complicated/changing loop that gives the player illusion of uniqueness. RH has become such a monetary based system (both microtransactional and ingame) that the devs have pretty much abandoned any game loop revival or update. Even yearly events are recycled!
🙏🙏 love this and completely agree. it gets me every time knowing that the main audience of the game are already older players who keep playing for nostalgia and because they have all the items, but not even that is enough to keep them from getting bored of the game. unless they find a way to make it valuable of their time (whether it is through friend groups or like me, making videos), there’s nothing new and at this point we can expect the same updates over and over again. this is an amazing point, and one that i see can be hugely successful if implemented (though i doubt they will apply it 😔)
I didn’t read this properly, I mostly skimmed it, but honestly, I agree.
It's probably tough to keep the fans engaged but also make it beginner friendly for the new players 😅(Such as when I came back to the game and I got overwhelmed by the new updates and insane prices lmao)
Yes, this!!!
@@Singelx as someone who has been playing rh on and off, everyone ik is sick of the prices, rich or not. although ofc if someone has millions of diamonds it doesnt scratch them but like - plenty of older players never got lucky, never was able to build up so 80k heels are truly insane for both old and new.
Honestly as an artist I wanna design a royal high rip off but actually do what royal high couldn't, maybe Ill make I hobby project just for fun
I suggest you dont the rh devs put there life pretty much on the game and they are doing there best and they have a lot coming just wait dont forget they have their own life to

The emotions for royale high
Fear : getting scammed
Anger : bugs that arent fixed
Joy : getting an item you really wanted
Pride : having a good looking dorm
Sadness : missing your streak (computer login )
Excitement : there being a new update
Disappointment: the update is delayed or even worse
... c a n c e l e d.
hopelessness: “delayed but someday”
After I got the badge for my yearly streak I have completely stopped using the login I genuinely just stopped caring if I missed a streak 😂😂
excitement is very rare
I don’t think anyone cares about the bugs in the game rn as there’s no game changing ones. For anger I would personally put 0 updates 😭
Their hunt event, they just recycled from 2020 💀
it’s so lazy
literally! also the first server i joined for the hunt event was completely broken 😭
The only good thing is that the timer sometimes glitches and you can collect all the eggs 😭
Frrr its so lazy THEY EVEN USED THE SAME EVENT DURING 2022? I BELIEVE LIKE IM A LAZY PERSON IRL BUT IF I NEED TO DO A PRODJECT I WONT REUSE STUFF I ALREADY DID 💀
What do you want them to do? It’s a fucking egg hunt. Most games on Roblox did the same thing. Complaining just to complain. Nothing can please you people. Go play Astro Renaissance or Dress to Impress and stfu.
Also even with ALL the multipliers, getting sets nowadays takes DAYS. I swear i need to ignore my personal needs to get a pair of sneakers, and I cant even imagine what its like for ppl who have none of the multipliers. Before the new school i could easily get a lot of dims.
same 😭 i don’t even have all of it yet and the thought of grinding just makes me feel bored before i even open roblox 😭
ever since they messed up diamond spawns on campus 2 i cant farm
@@zuninonaFr. And the devs using "exploiters" as an excuse just to do that. Speaking of exploiters, they're too strict with their game rules. Even innocent players get falsely banned but they don't seem to respond and unban them

I remember playing back in 2017 when Enchantix had first dropped, and to me the game really went down once the new school came out. I remember playing the original campus when it first dropped and thinking it was the best thing to ever exist, back when there used to be a castle garden somewhere on the map. They have become so superficial with the maps they forgot to make them RP friendly, which is where a good chunk of players stems from.
On pricing as well, I started an alt acc for the advent this year, and it spawned me with 50 diamonds. That's 2 bags of chips. No toothbrush, no mattress, no hairbrush.The game has been built to be literally impossible for new players. While people like me are leaving because the game is no longer functional, nobody can even start the game because you start with 1 quest slot, and if you get something like brushing your teeth or whatever you will be physically unable to complete it until you've made like 4,000 diamonds. They're literally deconstructing their own game.
like… spawning in automatically with condiments but not a toothbrush, hairbrush, or your school textbooks is so weird. they found every opportunity to put a price on things and did it. sigh
WOAH OMG NO WAY 50 DIAMONDS??? Scratch the chips, that’s enough to buy a singular PIECE OF TAPE for your dorm!! (I wish I was joking. 50 diamonds for a PIECE OF TAPE.)
ITS WILD.
@@kaivicii NO FR BECAUSE ALL OF THE DORM PRICES WOULD BE PERFECT IF THEY WERE JUST DIVIDED BY TEN!!! You know how royale high did a refund for everyone who spent money on the old wings?? BOOM, SAME MECHANIC. THEY KNOW HOW TO DO REFUNDS AND PRICE CHANGES SO WHAT’S STOPPING THEM
I didnt know inflation affected Royale high
It actually did, it kinda makes it annoying that I have to teleport EVERYWHERE just to get a single task done, and the stuff in the shop are too expensive, but the shoes cost 2X more than the dresses. It’s not really fun anymore.
And to be honest buying diamonds with robux isn’t worth it for me either, it’s like them telling me I have to pay 800 robux for only a small amount of diamonds that really won’t buy me anything in the shop.
It’s like inflation is happening on royal high lol. I spent almost a week trying to earn stuff to barely make anything 😞
I thought royal high was a role play game... NOT A GAME WHERE IRL PROBELMS AKA INFLATION HAS TO BE INVOLVED IN 💀

Royale high died when they got rid of the copyright music, the super Mario galaxy observatory theme was the games ✨ESSENCE✨ it was such a vibe 😭
Yesss!! 😭
They HAD FUCKING SUPER MARIO GALAXY?? I DONT REMEMBER... (actually I slightly remember.) Fuck, this game fell off HARD. As a Mario Galaxy fan I'm pissed. (Plus I've seen roleplay games with the observatory themes in it and none of them are gone!)
They arent updating because they're like "oh we're fixing bugs 😣😣" LIKE THERES SEVERAL BUGS YIU HAVENT FIXED IN YOUR "PASSION PROJECT" THATS WHY PEOPLE ARE LEAVING, AND YOU ATTEMPT TO REGAIN PLAYERS BECAUSE OF A SET LIKE WHEN YOU REALIZE YOUR LOSING PLAYERS IN YOUR "PASSION PROJECT" YOU LOSE MONEY, AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT HAPPENING SO YOU JUST UPLOAD A NEW SET, THINKING PLAYERS WILL BE FLAWKING BACK TO FARM FOR IT. NO! NOBODY NEW IS PLAYING ROYALE HIGH BECAUSE OF YOUR HIGH EXPENSES AND GREED FOR MONEY.
IKR ITS SO SO FRUSTRATING like please 😭😭😭 rh is crawling with bugs at this point someone could probably speed run witnessing 100 bugs in like 7 minutes of gameplay
@@kaivicii And since new players have nothing and they are most likely on mobile, so they are gonna be in a cage crawling with bugs and they say the new school is done when mobile players are getting attacked by cockroaches like you devs! The refuse to add new phases (last phase was like august 2023?) because they're trying to be good bug exterminators when they slack around and keep the roaches everywhere! They refuse to add new phases because they want free time instead of exterminate bugs like they're meant to do.
I tried to play Rh 3 months ago (January) and I quit one week after, like it's so expensive! At this point they should just pull a bloxburg (making it for players with robux and selling the game)
No its also because the game was never meant to be popular she made it as a passion project it getting popular was just luck
@@CureLinzzi Doesn't excuse the stupidly high prices they could've easily changed
Biggest problem with the sets, is that there are too many limited sets
TRUE.
And with them taking away diamond spots it became practically impossible to grind for diamonds for a 200k plus set
not to mention you have no time to even get them before theyre gone, because theyre so ridiculously expensive by the time youre close, its over and you have to wait until next year. i gave up trying. i like games, but im not dedicating _that_ much time to one. theres no point or fun in that.
@@bumbabeesIn a way I feel similar, different game though, grinding is repetitive, and it overall somewhat loops events, usually only changing story for specific non-holiday events.

Being currently built because they lied to players for 3 years about it being completely finished.
@@vivannet231 they even have an update log of it in game years ago of it being 70-80% finished like..

As a male player, as soon as i saw the masc figures i just gave away all of the stuff that I collected and moved on
As another male player I mourn the old masc sets and become stuck dressing as gothic lolita girls 😪😢
It's like they stopped trying.
@@warau242 its not like they did, they did stop trying.
I honestly just dress up w fem items atp, even a lot of the old masc stuff is hard to style and only fits with the whole set
Glad to see other male players here
I'm not a male, but I like playing as a male character.
It sucks that they removed masq body to replace it with the feminine but no (yknow...)
It feels weird for me to the fact I changed into a troll avatar.
The devs really need to just take a step back and determine what they want to accomplish in the long run. Everything mentioned in this video should be put into consideration along with going back to the basics and what originally drew players to the game... releasing increasingly expensive sets just isn't going to cut it anymore.
I doubt they will do anything about it since CallMehBob is known to not take criticism
I guess they made stuff expensive on purpose just so that players can play the game longer and you know, make money for the devs. It's just not it. With so much problems the devs had caused to the game, they really need to evaluate themselves and rethink about life
It really feels like the devs don't actually know what they're doing with the game now. Like, it's starting to get overinflated with features that cause more bugs that they don't fix, which causes more issues. But instead of being transparent with players and being honest, they'd rather release another 200k+ set and ignore the players.
@@Kn1feShift Exactly. The game is so overwhelmed with features that dev didn't even bother fixing bugs anymore. The game is so buggy now, especially with older realms.
The other problem that we can all can agree on is that Barbie REFUSES and I do mean REFUSES to hired adults to help this game get MORE updates out. Having a balance of both Teenage and Adult works to keep the game running is what they need. Teenage have VERY tight and BUSY schedules. You have school and after school activates they don't have item to worry about working on a game. The free time they have is when its nighttime (but their dead ass tired soooo) and the weekends (if they have free weekends because weekend events always take up all of your day. I know this from experience and didn't want to do anything after the big weekend event). Adults don't have much going on, all they have is work, college, chores, and a few fun activates. Adults have more free time than Teenages. Why? Because after 12th grade it is YOUR time to decided what you are wanting to do with YOUR life. I feel like the reason she doesn't want to hired more adults is maybe (and this is a big maybe) is because of greed or Launce is controlling who is being hired. Do you remember when Royale high valks said they would be going through "rehiring". I think they only fired the person doing Social media and told the new person to do better. But if Royale high doesn't want to hired anyone- COMMISSIONING IS A DAMN WORD TOO YOU KNOW. There are SO MANY talented people everywhere that can help. But they rather not get help and do it themselves. In conclusion Barbie needs to grow the f up and take more responsible in her game. If she so damn "passionate" about her game then she wouldn't have let it crash and burn so damn badly. Oh and fired Launce too
Teens have busy schedules? Just wait till you find out about adult schedules with their job, social life, hygiene, hobbies other than gaming, downtime, meals and sleep. Where do you fit game development in??
when game development is literally their job
right?? like if she’s so passionate about it then why isn’t she LISTENING TO ANY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM?!!?
Dude she literally could hire me💀💀 (I do roadmaps)
@@gachatana9656those are all things teens also have lol? what's ur point
It’s so sad, I loved the game. Absolutely addicted in 2019, it really is, I’m very disappointed. I loved role playing, introducing others, playing, grinding, just using and enjoying the game itself. Until, it became a huge grind game. More prices, I had worked hard, and lost my account. Then I kinda fell out of the game, (i had an account for 2019-2021) and when I joined back, maybe trying to gain that wonderful experience that meer memory being faint my pride and joy, it was too much. The new sets, the toxic people, the pressure and lessen of my love for the game. Truly, I *loved* the game, tears typing this. It just breaks my heart to see the community leave, the devs just giving up, most just…it hurts.
I honestly feel so hurt just watching the players go down in that game, honestly.
i feel you. so many of us care so much about this game that it hurts knowing the direction it’s been taken over the past few years and hurts even more knowing it might not get better. the fear of losing what little we have left is terrifying.
I'm in a similar situation, I lost my roblox account after 2020 or 2021 and I spent literal robux on rh. (I still haven't gotten my account back as of writing this)
I miss the joy I used to have from this game. But now I see it as just a waste.
I remember those fun times when people were roleplaying, and participating in pageants, and going to prom..they even begged for votes for prom king and queen.. but I didn’t mind. Because the game made me HAPPY. Now, just like our dream items, we cant even have THAT anymore. Royale High is soulless and soul-sucking. Farming in this game is just brain-rot. People are too busy farming that during their mid-grind daydreams, all they can think about is how great it would be to have all the riches your heart desires, but won’t realize how almost completely unrealistic their hopes are. Even some kids from the younger generation don’t want to bother with this game. It’s just full of has-beens and won’t-be’s. This game used to be one of the only games on the platform that I would willingly devote hours to. But, what do they expect you to do after you finally scrape together enough money for the new set? Buy the next one of course! *Maybe you will get restless and drop some robux this time..*
“When will the brainwashed Robloxians finally snap out of their fantasy sequences, you ask? Why, that is purely unpredictable, but we bet you will ⱠØVɆ these new heels we released a week after it’s expected release date!”
Man, if I could take back that 3,072 robux I spent on this game, I would cry. *yawn* “So, is anybody else pulling an all-nighter for the new set? It is soooooooooo cute! This is my 4th night in a row! I’m not even .0001% close to it yet, but beggars can’t be choosers! :)”
Man, all of that and no edits? Thats a record 😅
“full of has-beens and won’t-be’s.” has got to be the realest and most artistic way of describing the players left remaining on rh. perfect description. absolutely perfect.

Royale hight lost its meaning ever since they started focusing on grinding and sets n stuff, we’re only realizing now. You would spend like hours just grinding for a set, and once you get it you just gotta grind for more. And it seems you need to buy like at least 400 robux worth of gamepasses…. It’s sad. This is supposed to be a fun dress up game where you can rp and play with people, but now it just seems like a grinding game. Also there’s barley any way to get dims especially for non-multplier players. I left during post covid when i started not to care and i’m actually shocked about the controversy rh got into

Royale high is where I created my first OC and got the name for my channel and accounts, it was such a big part of my childhood I was there since it was a Winx club game, but it was basically unplayable as soon as the newer school released. I was already having trouble being able to afford clothing in the game (I saved up forever just to be able to buy the basic skirt only for heels to release) and when the school released I genuinely could not play it without lagging and crashing (my family wasn't to very well off so i was playing on a windows 7 computer almost the same age as me and later a kindle.) People started being really elitist and refusing to roleplay or interact with you if you didn't have good items, I tried going back to the old school but whenever I was there there were no people. It really bummed me out since the roleplay aspect was the main reason I started playing.
that’s so discouraging 😭😭 literally all of these issues could be solved if rh fixed bugs and made their game mobile compatible and made things cheaper 😭
I’ve also been playing since early Enchantix and experienced the exact same problems. I don’t have constant time to grind for everything, so I’m forever broke no matter how much of a “senior” player I am
THIS OML... like all the diamonds i have was from a small amount fo grinding in like 2019 and just earning gems from doing things in the game.

As someone who joined for like 15 minutes and never played again - the beginner experience is so humbling and embarrassing. People stared at me so hard for having my default avatar. It also glitched (I’m hoping?) and I got no introduction to anything. So I don’t know what I’m supposed to do nor where anything is. But yeah, I have no items or clothing and felt so out of place, so I just quit.
i agree, even if im not a new player. i don’t see many people talking about how different the experiences of new players vs. veterans are. it’s just so hard for new players to get anything.
As someone who has been playing since 2017, I do agree that it is RIDICULOUSLY difficult for new players to get started. It used to be easy to get all sorts of items and even diamonds, but nowdays its hard to play if you dont already have an established inventory.
Me too, me too. I left after about a few minutes, too dissapointing
i used to log on every day after whatever school i went to in 2017/2018 so i could roleplay as a dragon fairy in the enchantix dark dorm, pretend to have watched the show, and roleplay with the other people because then you could just walk up to someone and roleplay, cuz we all couldn’t spell and we all just wanted to be the coolest fairy in the dark dorm. i occasionally logged on for the sake of nostalgia to see if the joy was still there and every time id logged on, there was less and less kids having fun with each other and less campy role plays, and now it’s completely gone
fr. I remember roleplaying ALL the time. like 2+ years ago I had an entire FNAF Afton family roleplay with several online friends. Before that, I would pretend to be Nyx from greek Mythology and had some of the cringiest outfits, but I was incredibly happy and proud of them.
Frrrr I remember back in 2018 christmas I used to log in everyday and rp and it was so fun 😭 last time I played was way back in 2020

something they really need to fix is the fact that every time you move locations you change servers it makes impossible to roleplay
I assume it’s so more people pay for private servers
And you also need to grind levels just to have an add-on that would let you transport your friends or strangers to a server you join via teleportation.
i played this game RELIGIOUSLY from 2017-2022, and have [regretably] spent thousands of robux on it. it's a shame how far the game's fallen off
I spent about 800-100 robux and I also regret spending it (it might be low but as somebody who rarely buys robux, it's a gift honestly) and now I wish I could get a refund on my 2x multiplier

Because it doesn't happen no more 😔but also mostly cause now RP concepts feel like it cant be "immature" or "child-ish" or just general cute funnsise fantasy it has to so edgy for anyone to be join a RP.. I saw someone bully this girl for just telling another person about her RP cause they wanted to join it-
honestly wish theres a game thats can kind of replace royal high. i liked making my own outfits in rh but dear god the price of things
i quit playing rh a year ago because..it just got boring and not fun.
royal high in 2018-2019 was way more fun
Sameee
There’s Astro renaissance! It’s beginner friendly, EXTREMELY EASY to get diamonds, has activities like boss fights, minigames, and the items are actually pretty good looking (except for most of the faces), some hairs are even named after some kpop idols
@@yayanow44 question what do I do if I have to restart the chapter 1 quest.. But I already did it, it just froze at the black screen and I had to rejoin. And I have all the items.. Do I redo it or?..

Sets should be 40-60K diamonds
YES! 100k at most :/
That's a stretch. At most, 100k. And maybe if you take a shot of Tequila, smoke some weed and inhale some crack, 150k. Any higher and I'm sending you to rehabilitation - which the average prices on recent sets, go up to 200k-250k. And don't get me started on values...
100k at most is a good limit. the mlr skirt, the first ‘big’ set, had the skirt alone 50k. For how detailed it was i’d consider it worth (also bc at the time there was easier and more efficient diamond farming methods). If the skirt is 50k and the corset 15-25k, I’d say with the addition of accessories it should round to bout a solid 100k.
however if we take into account the lack of good diamond farming methods then yeah, 60k should be the price.
@@raspquiim laughing at your refrencd to 100k rn lmfao
it’s not even awful if a few of them are expensive. that’s fine. but every single one is. good luck being a new player
i was already inactive from the game for 2 years but the new school just further threw me off specifically with the dorms and how a single piece of furniture is already so darn expensive and unaffordable 😭😭💀
and the fact that there are ***barely*** even any classes... it's... a school......?
This is so real! They don’t even have actual classes like English or Chem! Rather they have stupid mini games!
the saddest part about this is is that this is such nostalgia for so many of us. when we attach sentimental value to games like these that used to be so good, we can’t help but come back to this garbage. Some of us are watching as it destroys itself, while some of us are trying to make the best of it. RIP rh you would’ve loved rh 😢
I am a royal high veteran, but I have a really hard time being a regular player, and I keep being inactive for months, even years. It’s just not very fun for me, especially because I don’t have any multipliers. I don’t think I’m going to be returning to the game, at least not for a very long time. The game is definitely struggling with player retention.
This but I still play the game with my friends sometimes cause we roleplay there
same not even my friends want to play anymore. we all are veterans and have played enough to get high value items (or at least high value for 2021 like parasols) and sometimes i ask them to play bc i love the princess-college roleplay aspect but then why choose it over something like bloxburg? The roleplaying part of royale high is dead whereas at least in other games it ranges from perfectly fine to practically thriving.
It's mainly because they have completely dried up any roleplay. It's pretty much too late now, they've already changed the new school to the point where you can't even actually roleplay. I'm in the same situation man. I barely play, but I have too much nastolgia to fully let go of what I accomplished years ago. I personally don't really mind the horrid set prices, I never got a full set anyways, I just want to be able to roleplay again, to make characters freely.
Same!! I bought one of the multipliers a while ago hoping that it would make the game fun again, but honestly it still feels so grindy and boring
same I only visit just for a few seconds and wishing on the fountain and never come back months later
As a male player, I have not bought the new sets. *I hate them.* I don't care about collecting every item and I never did, but I used to be so excited when a male outfit came out because I could finally feel like it was worth getting a set. (After all, before that, everything was just sets for the girlies)
Now I just don't care.
There's no masculine body type anymore, the new "masculine body type" is just feminine with extra steps and it's terrible. They try to act like the game is "for everyone" but they're very clearly trying to erase the male player base from their game. Everything is pretty pastel pink (which I don't mind as much, "aesthetics" or whatever) and masculine body types are gone. It demotivates me to even touch the game when I used to play it when it was still in beta.
I didnt even know about this, wild
And because of how limited the clothes are for players who want to dress as more masculine, almost everyone is a copy of another player. Just with different colors
the body type variation is wack, even female players (such as myself) are getting pissed because literally every single set there has the same exact skinny body type
They want the masculines to look like launce now.
LMAO I am laughing so hard rn
@@CZcamsshortslol. samee 😭😭
BHAHAHA
PSHAHAHA
Launce so full of himself he can't help but make everyone look like him
this was so well put!!! and not to mention the lack of body and plus size representation in the game. im aware that most games dont have much plus size representation or body diversity anyway, but royale high is mostly about the outfits and bodies, which are supposed to be more “human like” than the classic roblox bodies. so many of the heels and bodices are incredibly skinny focused, and i remember seeing them and feeling pretty left out a few years ago as a younger teen. its difficult to play the game when you don’t look like anyone in it.
I remember them literally making some of the reworks skinnier 😭
I have a big belief that rh doesn't even do moblie/Xbox testing. Bc the crystal ball game pass is so unfair because we can't use it. As a tik tok creator it makes it so hard to make good quality collabs due to the grain of it and lack of movement
JUSTICE FOR MOBILE AND XBOX PLAYERS 😭😭🙏
@@kaiviciiPLEASE US XBOX GIRLIES JUST WANT A FUNCTIONING FUN RP GAME (which we shall never have due to the removal of chat back in 2020)
its the same for playstation, nothing works
@@Georgie10283 Playstation is definitely based on the Xbox version that came first
Yeah, as a mobile player, the game lags so badly for me my phone (an iPhone 16) overheats because of how much is going on, and I remember when I used to play as an elementary/middle schooler, I would only be able to play for 30 minutes to an hour at the most without it becoming unplayable before eventually kicking me off the server. That and the prices of everything was what eventually made me quit.
Here is a problem with campus 3 role-playing:
1.Most of the people are going to be lagging all the time.
2.We have to add friend players to keep roleplay because we will be teleporting instead of just walking to another place like girl who told you this would be a good idea?
3.Updates will take a very long time specially when you love dressing up a lot.
4.When you go to the dorms and start role-playing there you might see some very inappropriate dorms for an example:One time I saw a dorm that looked like a bar LIKE WTH- kids are going to see that and the person who made that looked like he was showing it to everyone what a disgusting person🤮.
5.You thought I was done with inappropriate behaviour of players?think again because some players role-play and do disgusting stuff in their role plays and then blam me for getting mad at them for being disgusting like what?💀
This is so true. I try my best to be optimistic and look at the good side of RH. I try to be positive about it, but honestly, there is no “good side” anymore. And why I say anymore is because RH did not really get better in my opinion, at least, but it just got worse. It’s just so, how do I say this. It’s just not as good as what it used to be. Do better RH.
you're so right nala!
Royale High veterien here that stopped playing mid to late-2020:
Me and my ex-boyfriend used to play so much on Royale High together, it's what brought us closer to dating! And knowing that that entire part of the game has been completely wiped is strangely dystopian... I remember I would trick boys into thinking I loved them before breaking their hearts, I remember meeting people in roleplays and doing fun reveals of "oh I'm secretly an alien," and so much more fun stuff. I wish people newer to the game could enjoy these fun things but I doubt they will be able to. Oh also campus 2 and 3 run HORRIBLY on my computer, hell I haven't been able to get into the new campus when I found out about it... just a pink screen and music. Campus 2 runs better but still it's impossible to run on my old and new computer.
i feel like the only thing they're focusing on is how pretty the maps are.. the maps are soo gorgeous but there's nothing to do besides quests. tbh i think that pretty much everyone would've been fine with lower quality maps if it meant there'd be actual gameplay and possibility for roleplay. plus they still haven't reworked the dress up system and the many bugs in it.
The only way to get a good chunk of diamonds Is from quest grinding (so leveling up) and it takes me 4-7 hours to get 50k in a private server with multipliers.
No one wants to spend longer than 2 hours to get a digital fashion item.
We have NO good classes to grind in yet. We have nothing. Quests are meant to be a sideline thing. Something you do 2-3 times for a little extra exp after a class grinding except we have no classes.
it’s exhausting. mind numbing. boring. why can’t they just give us fun 😭
bro as soon as they got rid of the set diamonds in the 2nd school my farming plan was ruined
LITERALLY. That was the best farming routine in the game and they removed enchantix too so you can’t get the diamonds that were there.
@@kirby8stxrgxzer FRRRR?? looks like sunset island is going to be my main farming routine
@Daiyurunning Goodluck girly. Rn I'm just waiting, seeing how things play out I'm not bothering to farm. 🍀💕
The only thing that I still don’t understand is *has a developer * how you can propose low and slow updates when you got the money the active community like they have all but they keep doing the wrong choices …
Like after seeing goddess of triumph make over 3mil dollars in total from past two years, we know they have the funds to improve the game… they set their own standard and can’t handle it 🤦♀️
Their maps are even broken, like by the fountain, you can sit in air and in the fountain, all the sit area are jumbled
I made my dorm, and every single time I rejoin there’s a painting that’s always tilted, no matter how many times I fix it and make sure it saved, every time I rejoin it’s slightly askew. Also, Royale high was glitching so bad for me that I could fly through the walls and get the headmaster’s earrings without even unlocking the door. I can’t play for more than 10 minutes without getting disconnected, even on pc. It’s so laggy and buggy it’s annoying to play. I think the new school completely ruined the game and overall made the player count drop
i couldn’t have explained why rh failed any better. the major two last straws for me were the overpriced things and the lack of roleplay aspects. i was such a huge roleplayer in rh until late 2022 - early 2023, when roleplay almost completely died out. i genuinely miss seeing people say “abc for rp!!!!” in the chat. and the absolutely ABSURD prices don’t help either. i’ve completely given up on rh, I have no hope for it anymore. i doubt the devs are actually going to make it as good as it was before.
🙏🙏 thank you. i still have hope but it’s about as small as a grain of sand 😔😔
I completely agree in this. I tell my friends about RH and it’s flaws, especially one person who defends it. I had fun in rh but atp it’s not what it used to be, they’re even MASCULINE. I love to storytell, but now i use Astro renaissance and just writing in general, the Devs are also mostly minors
I used to think, as a kid, divina was magical and really beautiful. But now I think royale high is just too high performance and too challenging. :/
@@BreecheesegeezI agree. Also with the removal of the old maps there’s no nostalgia element to revisit except for the old schools.
I used to always be on the winx map when i was young. But now everything is so pricey and people call me biased to just not like rh

I liked how you took this from a development standpoint instead of just from an experienced player. You are able to discuss your criticisms while also pointing out what RH needs to work on (if they care/see this video)
Even if they do, they will prob only take this as toxic
🙏🙏 i have little faith but hope this brings some understanding not only to the development team but also to rh’s players
im a game development student and this video gave me a bit of a deeper understanding of the MDA framework (such as instincts, which i never got taught) and i think that this video is overall good and pretty informative (and gives me an example of what not to do later if i ever develop my own game)
🙏💖 we do love our game devs
Lol,ikr.
Campus 3 was SO overhyped and it arrived so late and so unfinished that I just quit and don't even get me started on the dorms like, why was it so expensive? The things i could get was the bed and brush which I only used for more quests and the craze for halos specifically the holloween 2019 one gosh and as an Indian when I heard that they were gonna make an Indian set for diwali i was so excited and I waited for it to release but it never did and everything is just so expensive now and all people just do is grind it had a great future but got ruined
Sigh.. i remember how joining the game used to feel.. Now i just join for 2 minutes tops, get bored and leave.. it just doesn't feel as joyful as it used to
honestly, they shouldn't have ever removed enchantix or the hotel, those were the main places I roleplayed n and I enjoyed the music/layout of the hotel. That's when I quit playing the game
Every time I try to get back into RH, I end up dropping it again because it's just stressful. It's to the point where it's near impossible to get any of the seasonal items because by the time you get enough Diamonds, it's too late and you have to wait for another year. The Hunt event is the same as the one a few years ago, except it's worse because the RNG on the new items are so awful, you end up with tens of duplicates.
Then there are the facts that there are things like the Whimsy Witch STILL doesn't have sleeves, and one of the bodice toggles is STILL broken! Trading is an absolutely miserable experience, and the grind for diamonds isn't even fun anymore because the quests are so boring.
The dorm system is awesome, but it's so horribly expensive that it becomes difficult to get anything. Until recently, my dorm didn't have anything besides a mattress on the floor, a toothbrush, a laptop, and a brush because everything was so expensive and I could barely afford anything when I was also trying to get my dream items but couldn't. Even then, I could only make my dorm look better because my friend gave me the diamonds to buy some actual furniture, and because I had items from the Advent Calendar.
There's no socialization. No roleplaying, no friendship, nothing. There's nothing besides grinding. And the lack of transparency from the developers is especially frustrating. We don't have any idea of what's being worked on, or what's being prioritized, etc. We get maybe a small few updates that add actual content EVERY YEAR. Updates that add things to do, new locations, new minigames are sparse, and instead it's just "buy this new set! look at these hairstyles! new dormitory furniture!"
I have a very good computer, and it can handle quite a bit. It's a GAMING LAPTOP, and Royale High runs absolutely awful. Low FPS, long loading times, lag, things not loading in. My system can handle a lot, but it can't handle a single ROBLOX game on graphics 1. I understand that Campus 3 can't be one giant server because those issues would be even worse, but even with it being segmented into different places, it still runs like garbage.
when they updated the game i couldn't play anymore as my phone couldn't handle the game, but now finding out that they removed male body support i'm never returning. im a trans man i dont want to always dress like a girl (even though i do sometimes) i hope i can find another game where i can collect clothing and dress up..
Miss the old events like Easter hunt in different shops or candy hunt in different shops. They use to give you items and diamonds if you completed it
I genuinely had to stop playing RH bc of how LAGGY the new campus is, not to mention when I was finally able to get to the dorms, I was so confused on how to get in my own dorm, like pls, maybe give me a GUIDE?? Obvy, I'll cherish the memories I have with RH bc their absolutely awesome but this journey has to end 'cause what the hell is going on
I think what made me move on from Royal High was the release of the trading system, though I played sparingly before that.
I wanted to roleplay and write a character, but I had to grind to earn the in-game currency to even begin to get the items I wanted for my character. When the testing place for trading was released, I was so freaking excited! In the testing place alone I traded until I had everything I wanted, and I was so excited to try and do the same on the main game. Then trading released and.. You had to be a higher level than I had gained in 4 years. To this day, I've never gotten to that level.
That's what put me off of the game. If I wanted to be able to customize my character like how I wanted, I'd have to put down roleplaying and grind, or alternatively pay heaps of robux. If I want to play a monetized dress-up game, I can download something on my phone.
Last year: “omg rh is gonna revive with the new campus”
Today: “yea rh sucks”
Rh does suck and there rly isn’t anything to do when you have all the items there’s no more clear objective 😭
I spent way too much time farming diamonds to build my dorm, and while my dorm is very beautiful now, I can’t say I’m satisfied. Not because I think it’s bad, but because it cost *so* much time and money that it wasn’t rewarding once I finished it. Then I accidentally lost my daily streak and that’s when I completely abandoned ship, since I was only joining daily to keep that streak up (and battling the extreme lag to get to my dorm’s laptop)
I’ve been playing Royale High since 2018, and I was always extremely broke and had the worst clothing and body type. Then I came back when Campus 3 was added, ended up caving and buying the 4x diamond pass, and now I actually make diamonds at a rate worth a damn. My avatar no longer looks disgusting, but I can still say the prices are disgusting. Accessories, shoes, gloves, they’re all expensive for the sake of making us play and grind as much as possible, and for this reason, I despise halos. Halos were never that appealing to me (aside from Witching Hour) so as someone immune to their fancy overpriced charm, I really don’t like the odds of getting any of them; I went to the fountain for almost 2 months trying to get the Solarix halo and eventually just gave up. Again, their rates are purely to get people to keep grinding.
I actually met my long time friend and fellow roleplayer on Roblox nearly a decade ago, but nowadays I prefer to just roleplay with her on Discord rather than participate in any Roblox roleplays, so Royale High’s roleplays, albeit hilarious, never appealed to me. What I can say though is they added so much life to this game, it felt like a living school sitcom full of teenage drama and it was beautiful. Nowadays no one is roleplaying, just grinding as many levels as possible to get diamonds to buy the new hot shoes for 80k diamonds in the latest set. The best interaction I’ve seen in years was a person dressed in the new deer outfit from last winter coming up to somebody and saying ‘wanna become furries’ lmao
Last note about unnecessary grind: Locking stuff like resizing furniture and changing wallpaper and flooring behind the star rewards system, because this game totally needed more grinding for a feature most building games have by default.
I’ve seen and played several Roblox games I now despise or don’t play anymore (looking at you, Sonar Studios), but a catastrophe on such a scale of Royale High is a rarity. I personally feel I’ve seen worse examples of greed in Roblox games, but in terms of actual gameplay, Royale High is definitely up there for how much it fails to make anything you do feel rewarding.
i feel you- i was never much of a halo person either, and the star reward system is also frustrating too. it’s extremely unfun. and i agree with you with that last sentence. at this point i don’t consider it a “game” anymore.
The fountain and halos were so annoying. I’ve been a player from 2018 and for the duration of my time playing, I would always go to the fountain. I’d say for 4 months consistently after quitting for a while, I went more frequently thinking that I’d hopefully get a halo because I’ve been a long term player and I just wanted to test my odds more though I know it’s just mainly up to pure luck. I just gave up trying to get a halo seeing that a player who’s account could be like a week or few days old could get a halo but me, a player for like 5 years couldn’t get anything. I mean, lucky them! But It was just so demotivating. Not to mention how everything was so so overpriced so I couldn’t even trade for a halo even though I preferably wanted to win one.
this is such an amazing video and it really displays these problems well. i really hope the devs see this. the overpricing is what bugs me the most i think. most rh players don’t have the time to farm diamonds for a billion hours. the game is terrible for new players. overpriced items + new players = ppl not wanting to play ur game and said game dying.
🙏🙏
Glitchs I know of (new glitches)
1:If u were flutter butterfly heels, you glitch up in down on the stage of sunset island.
2:if you use crystal ball,some times the map dosnet load all the way,even on full graphics s u can't record videos very well if ur stying to do smth like a story on sunset.

@@september._._.25. Fr like i legit spot bugs and come back here to type them at this point 24 bugs?! so stupid
Like imange saying were gonna bring back what we killed. Roleplay
The problem is, they now think that everyone is rich as hell and can afford a 1million diamond bed. I’ve been playing since 2018 and it used to be a fun little game to roleplay as a princess, and dress up your character! But it slowly became too expensive, everything was so overpriced and now, pretty much no new players can get to such amounts, and anybody that doesn’t own a double or quadruple diamond pass, unable to get to such heights, trust me, I’ve tried, and it even worse now that they removed enchantix. They are walking away from its original objection, a fun dress up roleplay game. It’s just becoming a game to endlessly grind. I had to make my own bed out of a mattress and a shelf. The both cheapest items because of how necessarily expensive every dorm item is. They have absolutely fallen off. I quit when it started to get like this. I didn’t realise that then, all I saw was myself not enjoying it anymore. But now I see, it’s because it wasn’t what u remembered it to be. Occasionally, I try and get into it again but it’s just all grind and it bores me. That have failed in the game design indeed
I used to play it in 2016-2020 and I remember when there was the old lobby, and also the old schools where you got powers and lived in apartments with themes and other fairies, and the mini games like taking care of children etc.. it was so fun and I loved role-playing there. I haven't touched roblox since 2022 but I heard they took out the prom which is so disappointing.. in the old game you didn't need a lot of diamonds and people would just role play with each other regardless of the items you had.. the game is so soulless and classist now.
I love how in depth the analysis is and how Royale High has strayed so far from their own game. And even then I don't think Royale High can be at their peak anymore since new players struggle to even be in the game, which also fails a purpose of the game in the long run as player regeneration is important for a game's longetivity. Honestly, unless they manage to change or implement something major and bringing innovation into the game, Royale high is as good as a dead triple a games.
🙏🙏 exactly. the game isn’t sustainable. it’s losing players and the way they’re running things now just shows their desperation in short-term solutions instead of long-term sustainability.
I have never played Royale High and I don't know how this video got in my recommended, but i must say theres a surreal feeling seeing a roblox avatar converse with a minecraft skin
poor jackson is not fully articulated (he very much dislikes roblox 😭)
I rlly think they should've just kept updating instead of spending all their time working on campus 3
i remember how rh used to be back in like 2018! I loved the mermaid tails and the fairy wings so much, Even if it was hard to get diamonds back then that didnt matter because I was to busy just roleplaying and having fun. Rh now is completely different yet the same at the same time, It has better items now yeah but roleplaying isnt a thing anymore.. and getting diamonds is now just as hard as it was back then. Ive been blessed with having gamepasses BUT I KNOW how hard it is for people who dont have that recourse, Its literally impossible for newbies to get into rh because they cant get a single good full set in rh.
Like my friend? I used to help her with getting any and every set she wanted because she couldnt afford getting it herself, If she tried getting it with only her money it would take MONTHS of saving. Rh just sucks now, The environment got more pretty but theres no life in it anymore.
i feel like i see why people think trading ruined Royale High, but peak RH was after trading, I think that it all went downhill after the events started getting repeated (i.e. updates being recycled, the dewdrops event sticking for way longer than it should be, etc.). But even then RH still kept a steady balance considering the fact that the quarantine was over. The real problem arrived when the new school came, and people realized how this was NOT what they had in mind. It fell to an all time low when Halloween was recycled and the new Christmas update saw the leave of Snowglobe Summit. Honestly, RH should have never created a new campus, imo the new school existing ruined the game, and the fact that they are now announcing RH4 makes me furious because as Abby Lee Miller once said.. " JOJO, HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING!?"
I could argue collecting also involves greed due to community made prices for trading being incredibly high
I agree with everything said and Its sad bc this was my fave game since 2017 but its never going to get better
At this point players want them to sell their game to better people like bloxburg did
this is a really good point! greed in game also is linked to collecting. greed also can operate outside the game… like with RH’s game devs
@@kaivicii and you touched on the quests part and like
They tried making a easy way to level up and farm but failed so horribly
I'm a mobile player and musical chairs or tidy textbooks is living hell for me because the insivible barrier only mobile players have on musical chairs and timing out issue in mobile for tidy textbooks
Most new players can't even do book releated quests brush hair brush teeth vacuum your dorm ect
Like they could've ATLEAST added a reset button for the quests you can use like every 10 minutes so if you can't do a quest you get another one
the reroll of quests are so needed for honestly everyone 😭
I think the main thing that drove me away from Royale high was the lack of research done for clothing and events. Like for Lunar New Year they just slapped whatever without doing any research as to what the celebration meant and contained. Also not to mention but the cherry blossom set just basically "princess"-ified the kimono which is supposed to be more flat and retangle like, not puffy and curveous.
I am a returning player kinda, since i have played royal high for 4 years non-stop and basically have all game passes(yes ever that super expensive one). But like a year or two i just lost interest and stopped playing RH at all and didn't really know what updates it were getting.
But when i logged into it yesterday i was SO overwhelmed and confused like wth happened to the game??? Before it had its own charm and was simple to understand. now tho??? Nah i just saw all the stuff and left again. I guess RH isn't for me😖
Happy i found this chanel cuz its informitiv but also explain stuff for me who basicly never played Royal high exept for some events like "The hunt First edition"
🙏🙏
I miss when it was just a winx club type game.
Also, one way to REALLY help the game is to simply make accessories less expensive. There's no reason I should have to play for 10 hours straight just for a skirt. I love dressing up my avatar, building a house, decorating rooms, whatever but what is the point in doing any of that if it's going to take me forever for me to finish ONE fit that I like. Especially since I'm in college now, I simply do not have the time like I used to in middle school or during quarantine.
absolutelyyyy the main demographic for rh are teenagers and kids, who have school like they wont have the time of the day to grind for 10+ hours just for *a piece of clothing* they really should lower the prices and add more (efficient) methods of getting diamonds
what if the devs try to play their own game as the average normal player like how would they react 😭
@@umopapisdn. Exactlyyy‼️ The devs would NOT enjoy their own game no doubt about it
I remember watching the trailer for the new campus last summer, and it reminded me so much of Ever After High, like, the school from the show. They branded the campus as roleplaying friendly, giving a magical sense to the game. I was excited for that; I'm constantly complaining about how transaction based the game had become, especially with trading and high pricing.
But, then, when the campus actually came out, not only was it NOT roleplaying friendly, but it even *promoted* all the things they seemed to have been trying to stray away from. Now they've realized their mistake, are making a campus freaking 4?? One can really only ask what the hell they're trying to get at anymore.
I'm probably very biased about this, but one thing I noted when playing the 3rd campus was how empty it felt after I got used to it. Like some locations never made sense to me like where you would find the door to the locker courtyard before it was removed. I expected the school to resemble an actual school and the locker courtyard lived up to most of expectations, then it was removed. I feel like the whole map just had a lot of empty spaces here and there with some bits and pieces that were used to fill it up. I was expecting stuff like grand hallways with arches and maybe multiple open courtyards like an actual fantasy royal school, but there wasn't. Of course, this could just be me being picky and I know that the devs worked really hard to make the school live up to people's expectations, but it missed out on the one key aspect of the entire game: It's called "Royale High" meaning players would expect it to look and function like a school so that people can easily crowd around in one server and give the place a school atmosphere, therefore adding to the roleplay aspect that the game built off of and what everybody was hoping for. The locker courtyard was done right and so was the office, but not the main campus? It just felt weird to me.
Edit: I wanna add one more thing. Why do we not get a starter dorm? Like, why was all the furniture expensive? Royale high failed to remember that a new, up-to-date map would mean that new players may join and they can't afford anything. Royale high was more focused on catering to their already existing players rather than catering to ALL their players. But then again, their dorm hype worked because I spent over 500k diamonds on my dorm. Worst decision of my life.
I was normally watching the video when I saw my user pop for the glitches. Thanks so much for sharing my thoughts. I always felt like I couldn’t
Edit: also pointing out some points I made with the role play mechanic! Personally, that was the thing I was really interested in and was excited about 😢
🙏🙏 so many people wished for role play capabilities but sadly campus 3 discouraged it 😔
speaking about social aspects meshing with aesthetic ones- one thing i will always miss is the original dorms from campus 3! the semi-circle layout of dorms that all faced inwards, especially on the slight curve that actually turned many doors to face each other slightly, made it feel far more social and organic to me! and as well, the place felt relaxing and sleepy, all facing towards the pool area where people could hang around.
i loved this original dorm area, i thought it felt pretty, but social and comfortable too. however the new dormitory area feels really cold and impersonal to me- can you imagine walking down that long, creepy hallway at night with the towering ceiling and no distinctive features? yes the doors face each other, but it honestly feels forced to me, and from a gameplay aspect the new dorm area suffers as well because it lacks any real landmarks it always takes me a good few seconds to figure out which end of the hallway im on , and then i have to run all the way down this long as heck corridor to reach the bathing quarters! meanwhile the original dorm area had the bathing quarters easy to reach in the middle, cutting the travel time way down. plus the loss of the pool-related quests cutting down the variety of things to do. the new dorms just feel less social to me- it feels weird to hang out in the corridor and chat with people becuase its just. a cold corridor. no features no balconies to look out from, benches, pool sides.
similar thing with the locker courtyard being removed, it was such a nice balance of social and gameplay elements. whenever i went there people would be chatting over their study quests while they waited for it to finish, about the game, outfits or their lives. it fulfilled lots of quest needs too so you wouldnt have to travel around as much (vending machines, classes, bathrooms etc). like you Knew you could always find someone to do study quest there, since it was an area designed to look like you could study, and socialize! and since it had bathrooms, you didnt have to go all the way to the bathing quarters to fulfill a lot of the quests! idk. i mean, do you really see people chatting comfortably in the castle heart? i think they should have kept that one quest from the Winter event- about the cold wind blowing out the candles lol. it never feels all that warm to me lmaooo sorry had to have my emo moment
also your point of going to new areas meaning leaving the server- there's so many things like that that interrupt or ruin roleplay now. the system of appearing at the door accurate to where you entered, instead of just a central Spawning location (like the shimmerglobes in castle heart) annoy me to no end, bc while i can understand the intent to make the map feel more immersive, it almost never works for me. whenever i walk to a new area, i almost Always appear at the default spawn location, start running toward whatever task i want to do, almost get there, then get teleported back to the door!! it just yoinks you right out of any game flow. and i bet it really messes with rp too. their attempt at immersion backfired real bad
so many things about the new campus actively make the game less social, and i wasn't even a roleplayer! i don't roleplay in rh! i just like the minigames and the outfit system! but even I can recognise how the obstacles to social play negatively impact the player experience now
p.s sorry for the rant!! this was a really interesting video, thank you to both of you for the discussion and insight!!
p.s.s also is anyone having this annoying issue of everytime they go through doors or to a new area, their outfit gets messed up?? its so annoying!! its a dressup and customization game, but everytime i put one on, save it, edit outfits, or WALK THROUGH DOORS, my outfit gets corrupted with random elements changed!! it's really started to bother me. why should i bother spending time making outfits if the game never saves them properly long enough for me to Walk through a door?
I remember how wanting cool wings was the main thing, their wasnt expensive outfits no just simple outfits with some accessories, now all i see it as is a grinding game just to dress up pretty and not be able to show it throught roleplaying... like why did i wasnt money on something that went NO WHERE?
I was not playing royale high for long, as i started in 2022. I gave up a few months ago due to the lag. (I’m a mobile player) I actually moved to a really cool “rip off” game called Astro Renaissance. It’s very new player friendly and it doesn’t feel pay to win! Definitely recommend 👍
I played Astro Renaissance on laptop the quest are hard for me to find and it doen'st feel like a Royale High ripoff it's just a alien themed dress up game to be honest.
I still play RH but not like before anymore, since I’ve heard they removed masc, rising the prices, roleplays aren’t there often, toxicity, etc. I slowly started stopped playing it. It’s pretty disappointing how RH devs mostly Barbie and launce don’t care about what the community is complaining and wants the money from your (parents) wallet. If they want RH to be interesting and have new players be welcomed with like cheap items, they need to do something about it.
I’m also highly disappointed that they said they will release a new set only to be delayed, set on another event/ next year and cancelled.
I also realized that whenever an update is near to be launched, it’s delayed for more than a week.
I am not surprised anymore about RH just slowly digging deeper in its grave and having greed on the spotlight.
These are things that made me, personally quit for the first time (Note, I was a casual RH player):
1. They updated pricings which made everything pricey (And I have 4x diamonds gain, and it was still hard).
2. They changed all the diamonds locations (spawn) and they put less diamonds.
This was during their price change.
Why I quit the second time:
1. Things above have not been changed.
2. They added a new exps, where you have to level a journal? Or w.e from scratch because your previous rank even thought it exists and it's shown DOES NOT matter for absolutely ANYTHING.
3. The missions for gaining said exp are not well explained, there is nowhere on RH that explains HOW TO DO THE MISSIONS. (Thus making you spend hours on searching and looking tutorials which most of videos are mixed with older version, making your search an absolute tedious job). Some of them are even bugged and not completing after you are supposed to complete the task.
4. The new campus looks gorgeous but it's also absolutely horrid to play in. Actually, there really is nothing you can do on new campus. It's not fun.
5. Traveling through the maps is hideous, it took me a while as a return player to figure how to move to the old map. Which I did every time I joined 'cuz as mentioned before there nothing to do on new campus except sweat and grind.
This was during new campus 3 release. Its pity because it started really good until I finished the element exams and got tp to campus 3.
I noticed lack of sets during the times I came back to RH, but they DID NOT bother me 'cuz I couldn't afford them anyways with them being INSANLY pricey and getting diamonds compared to before being very time consuming, unless I spent minimum 2-3 full days of nothing BUT GRINDING. Which, I will not do as a casual player, nor do I want to put myself through that torture to just satisfy how I look better or more unique than other players. Didn't care about it back then, don't care about it now.
(Ok haven’t played in a while) What in the world even is Royal High anymore? Where is the classes? The royal ball? Everything? It was one of the games that felt like you were an actual student with classes, and work. The interactions with items weren’t “just there”, they actually affected the character. You had a schedule, you had fun events, you had all of this without having to actually interact with people to have fun! I recently played it and it’s just…too much, everything is too flashy and over the top, while also making the environment bland and blocky. The new school layout looks like a knockoff. Last year, I would happily say that if you liked the things I listed above Royal High would have been perfect, the only things that updates would add would be clothes and holiday items, but no they changed the entire layout of everything and just ruined it. I can’t even stand to play through it to see if the school mechanics(Classes, grades, homework, schedule, royal ball) were still in tact, because the game is just too overwhelming now, and kind of ugly looking now.
OMG YES THE ROYALE BALL !!!!!!!!!
Even with multipliers I struggle to get items and it takes me HOURS, I didn't have time for that unless it was summer in when I was in highschool and it's still the same issue now that i'm in college. I've been playing this game for 5 years, and this game went from a game of incredible care to money hungry.
i stopped playing royal high in late 2021 and came back to it in 2022. it was my favorite game ever, but i soon realized that it was very hard to play when all the sets, and items were all like 70k diamonds...so resorted to trading, but everyone was getting scammed and i didnt know value so it was hard for me to play, so i stopped playing again..i came back once in a while and it was the worst! the new school is fine but allll the sets??? alll the overpriced prices...and i tried trading and my items were "old news"? like it was so sad. so i just quit and gave all my items to my friend..and this video just makes royal high worse..
The one thing I really wanted to see with the new campus release was roleplaying coming back. I was so sure SO SURE. That roleplaying would boom again. And it didn't. There's a lot to look at in the campus, not a lot to do, and not actually that many items which can really be roleplayed with.
I don't think I'd ever be able to quit royale high fully, but I sure as hell don't spend 5 hours on there like I used to after school. The way I'd genuinely get back and open my laptop just for royale high will NEVER be outmatched. RIP the joys of Royale high, never to see the light of day again.
Also even the classes so far are just minigames. I can't just go in there to roleplay, it's practically impossible. Like I'm aware the other classes were technically minigames too, but you could walk into there at any time without attending the class, since there was SPECIFIC class times, making the whole thing actually roleplayable.
also they removed the mermaid tails ill never forgive them for that
And they still haven't added in new tails either
i need more mermaid tails, i need the rework, and i need it NOW
@@kaiviciiI did see one hack on pineterest that kinda helped with that and I did that method with the masculine body (I’ll admit it was cursed but it still decently worked)
@@libraeevee9467Wait what's the hack? i wanna know please i cosplay in royal high sometimes 😔
@@GreydaCloud well the hack involved using the scale pattern, starlight heels from the new years event, the flippers, and the seashell tops
As for if you want to make it for masculine well it’s kinda the same except throw in the Opposites attract torso
My whole game is broken, my avatar doesn't work, I can't pick up gems. This is all so sad to me as Royal high was a HUGE part of my childhood and I'm so heart broken it's so ruined now :(
I remember early 2018 when I'd play royale high with my friends. This game holds such a special place in my heart as it helped me with my trans awakening,but nowdays I can't even play anymore because of how annoyingly grindy it became. I wish I could go back to the good old times.
After being rich in rh there's really nothing lefted for me. I decorated me dorm to the max. I got my dream halo. I own most of the sets that I like. I have over a mil diamonds. There's nothing lefted for me to do anymore. I've been just been playing other games. Yk a lot of people talk crap about Astro Renaissance but at least it has more playable content. It has a storyline and the quests are actual rewarding and fun to do. It saddens me when you compare the 2 and realize that rh devs aren't really putting in the effort. For the season of spring, rh released 10 new items, reused the egg hunt, new set. While Astro in the same time frame, released a new quest, 2 new sets, 4 rework sets, 16 new items, a pagent, and a quest for the hunt.
love astro- there’s ACTUAL gameplay. i love it so so much. but you have a great point. when you have everything in a grinding game, what else is there to do? absolutely nothing.
im sorry bro but its left not lefted 😭
I like Astro Renaissance but I don’t like the fact it made my avatar tall and I prefer my avatar being pocket sized 💔
I hate the trading. I got scammed once and lost like four years of stuff. I’m still mad about that.
There’s a mini game that randomly pops up on your screen where you need to guess the right photo and I hate it so much, because it loads so slow. Even when I leave the game it’ll still be there and I can’t fix it so I just try to spam click if it even loads the pictures. I think there’s a bubble one too unless they got rid of it.
For me, as soon as they got rid of the formatted class/prom/bedtime/homework system I lost interest. I was there because it was fun to travel from room to room, roleplay with my fiancee and be silly. Now it’s just a Stand There Simulator. :/
I can literally go on for hours about my distain for this god-awful game. I miss when i first started playing and they updated it all the time, they say they want to get all seasonally updates out this year but i doubt they'll do that. Also, I don't get how everyone is so happy we a getting a campus 4, like what the hell??? they haven't even given us a fraction in the 3rd campus and now we are getting a whole new one?? Apparently, its barley taking anytime either, what in the hell is this game. Do they think people will play their game if they are all over the place, it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yet despite that some people still eat it up and hat on people even slightly critiquing the game, continuing to support the game and every bad person associated with it. the devs are so so rude to their community, sometimes telling us they'll do what we are complaining about and to just shut up while they figure it out. How are they going to attack the community saying :they are rude" (some people are rude which can sometimes be warranted if it's been a repeatedly ignored problem but usually it is not ok to be rude even if the devs are terrible people and don't care) etc. when they are basically telling us to get screwed and not care about, representation, inclusivity, updates being on time, culturally approtation, bugs and all the other thousands of problems. Oml and that stupid like 3-hour boycott that happened, i am all for boycotting the game but 3 hours????? that does crap. do you think they'll care if your gone for 3 hours and then come back? NOT AT ALLLL. The people who are continuously boycotting them or quitting are way smarter than that. "Aww but we have streaks :((( we don't wanna lose them" 1. do you not realise you had been given the perfect tool to boycott them? vacation mode keeps you streak so you won't lose it over the time you're gone 2. if you meant you didn't wanna lose the days you wouldn't be playing (basically not logging in and getting more days to you streak was your problem) then just completely ignore the boycott and all the issues and pretend the game you're playing isn't buggy and completly terrible. There is SOOO much more i could say but oml my mind is fogging and I'm honestly just getting angry cause of this game
I am in love with games like astro because it does everything royale high does but with 👏representation👏
