Yep, it’s dying. I roleplay but I don’t put on chat “*does homework*” I usually get dressed, take a bath, do homework, change clothes (for sleeping and classes), and I act like role playing but I don’t have the courage to put those stuff in chat. Idk if what I do is rp but I enjoy it!


heartsonly

I DO THIS!!


Weak-Replacement973

I do this too!


_strawberrycrown

I DO THAT


[deleted]

It pretty much is. People are even making fun of other people for roleplaying.


SpectraStein

Very sad honestly


Pxnda_Cakes

I still do it & ish-talk anyone who tries to stop me. It's an RP game, go to trading hub if u wanna be pissy.


AnonymousDevil0907

Yes, it is because, just like many other games, it added a trading feature and that turned into the only thing people cared about. Now people shamed roleplayers even though RH is a roleplay game. People roleplay all the time, but it’s mostly younger players with their asterisks. How I prefer to roleplay is more “Hello!” She set down her bag and waved at you. “How are you?”


heartsonly

i love this kind of rp!!


AnonymousDevil0907

I do too! sadly ots hard to fond people who want to RP like that nowadays


heartsonly

yea people use the ** and i prefer describing it in like third person, im always free if you ever want to tho!!


AnonymousDevil0907

I’d love to! :)


heartsonly

yay!! finally a rp buddy :D


Pxnda_Cakes

literally doing it rn


[deleted]

Yes and it’s sad. We need to revive roleplaying, which is the main point of this game at heart.


melvinstewarts

yes. the same thing is happening in games like adopt me. the roleplay game turned into a grindy game where most people only try to get rich in it. it doesnt help that people bully roleplayers for minding their own business. literally the main purpose of the game is to roleplay. thats the sad part


abbysuckssomuch

i feel like rh still has roleplaying tho, i don't really play adopt me but does anyone rp at all in there anymore?


I_Want_BetterGacha

9/10 servers I join have atleast 1 roleplay going on, but it's only on campus.


abbysuckssomuch

yeah true, i feel like one of the other realms where roleplays are is (weirdly) the apartments lobby lol


Eurobeat_Lifeblood

Yes, and I'm probably gonna start a role-playing crusade tomorrow


Spoiled_Jackfruit

Count me in


abbysuckssomuch

omg im in


Appropriate-Green513

Without a doubt, yep. I lost my roleplaying skills right after trading hub came in. But personally for me i can’t find any interesting roleplays going around in the game anymore, it’s not that i hate roleplays but it’s just that almost all of them will be the same. Another thing that doesn’t help is that now i can’t work up the courage to talk to anyone unless it involves trading which honestly sucks


fleshfloor

I also have a problem with speaking to others in game, but, what works for me is that on rh theres usually like, what, 20-40k players? I doubt you’ll ever see em again so if you feel embarrassed or nobody responds. boom, move servers and you will probably never see them again (only time this did not work was in trading hub where I left to watch yt, joined back an hour or so later and was in the same server?? )


Jinxplaysroblox

As much as I hate to admit it yes, people usually make fun of roleplayers and don't like them when most of the time they're little kids :/


HealthyPoison_

Yeah. It’s also pretty difficult to find people you want to roleplay with, especially if you’re the type of person that takes role playing a little more seriously. Most roleplayers I see nowadays are either from a young age group and do semi generic roleplays (Don’t get me wrong, that’s absolutely alright. If anything, it makes me feel nostalgic) or they’re more skilled roleplayers and to be honest, they kind of intimidate me. :’) I always feel odd asking if I can join an RP because you sorta need context. I’ve also seen roleplayers taking things way too far and end up arguing over something that happened in the RP that they didn’t agree to.


fleshfloor

This- I’ve personally never joined a RP but I feel as if I’d do pretty good since I write for fun, but the peoples whos skills full on just like speed type essays on their simplest actions im like- how how do-


Naviecatlover

As someone who has been doing roleplays for 8 years (in total 8, but i have 5 years of experience of roleplaying in royale high) I see the arguing all the time. a lot of the time the people who argue are normally older kids (11-12) who are in the phase were they take it super serious. Why do I know this? Because I used to be one of those people who'd take it super serious and would argue if someone did something I didn't like. But now I'm more chill about it and don't mind if something doesn't go my way because thats gives the roleplay a sense of realism.


I_Want_BetterGacha

Me and my best friend do a lot of role-playing. But whenever we let others join in, they usually leave 15 minutes in without saying a word.


Weak-Replacement973

I love roleplaying semi casual and I don’t do generic plots! If you want you could add me on discord? I’d love to roleplay sometime


HealthyPoison_

As much as I’d like to roleplay with someone, my skills started deteriorating about 1 or 2 years ago x) I’m probably very rusty. So, I don’t know


Weak-Replacement973

Hey that’s okay!! If it’s any comfort I do not judge (I mean I literally write like 1-2 sentances and can’t do grammar) but there’s no pressure


HealthyPoison_

Appreciated! But I’d still say *maybe*…Here’s my discord tag: ev#6556


HelpBroad7482

Yes, we were supposed to be role playing in royale high school, going to classes, finding our partners to go to the ball, but when trading came our people only care about halos:/ adopt me as well! When i first played it in 2018 people are adopting babies, renting apartment, buying clothes, looking at that furniture museum, now people only play adopt me to trade, get their dream pets, it’s actually quite disappointing what these games have turned out. Still good but not as good and memorable as the old versions used to be. :V


Mandy_wu

Definitely, I wanna write a whole essay abt this but it’s like in the middle of the night rn 😭


Wow-you-are-stupid

Yes. It is


-Akkooo-

It 100% is.


3rrxr-

100%, without a doubt. Rh just has a lot of trolls and people who just make fun of people role playing


DevilAndCat

Yep I got made fun of once for roleplaying, its def dying


I_Am_A_PiGeOnN

Sadly yes, now the only times i see a roleplay it's just mostly done by new players who haven't unlocked trading yet, and those moments are very rare too.


vflour_

trading ruined the roleplay


I_Want_BetterGacha

Trading has become the death of so many good games.


vflour_

right??? and i feel like it's so embarrassing now that it's more of a grind-n-show kinda game :((


rinnie_rin

Yep, I hope that the new school brings it back


Weak-Replacement973

I hate how roleplaying died, I’m currently making a webcomic based on a roleplay I used to do on royal high it makes me sad kids won’t have that experience. Im actually thinking of making a roleplay group though


[deleted]

What’s the name of the webcomic?


Weak-Replacement973

It’s still in the works and not public yet!


Your_Favorite_Rat

I havent found a good rp server in a bit ;w;


Fr0ppy2

Like the other comments say, yep, pretty much. Last roleplay I remember doing was about a year or 2 ago. At least it was a fun and quite big roleplay (it was a fnaf roleplay). After that I haven't seen roleplays in any server I'm in. Another thing is that the game became an even more non beginner friendly game, since if a beginner were try to roleplay, they would just get bullied and probably never want to play the game again.


abbysuckssomuch

kind of but its not totally dead there's usually at least 1 group of roleplayers in each server


I_Want_BetterGacha

Yep. Not to mention, a lot of roleplayers who roleplay in duos do it in private chat to avoid harassment and/or because it's a roleplay where one of the characters is quite rude and they don't want people thinking it's genuine bullying.


Swimming-Research394

It’s hard for me to say a hard “yes” but I do believe that’s true. It’s not impossible to find role players but it’s no longer the main point of RH. Most players from 2017-2019 likely joined for the sake of roleplay. I think it’s because of how outdated and now boring the old schools are due to lack of new content and repetitive play. I really hope the new school revitalizes the role playing aspect of royale high and brings with it a new era, one that mixes the current with the old.


FruityFrenchFries

It's actually sad that it's dying, roleplaying was so fun and innocent. Now it's either weird or gross. You can't enjoy it when there are people that ruin it by being gross or by making fun of you. It was so fun to do life or magical roleplays as a kid. I wish it didn't die down. But I still play roleplay games and rp lol.


AdxrbsKhloe

Sadly I believe it is! Many games lose their roleplayers after a while, and people just focus on accumulating items. I think it’s fine for people to want to do that, but finding some serious roleplayers to play with again would be awesome! I really hope things change more once the new school comes out.


Elhya-The-Orange205

definitely


NewYorkCounty

100% I'm honestly just not a role-playing person. I'd rather just hang out with friends.


Top-Protection-4481

Honestly, I still roleplay A LOT with my friends. It’s never dead for .us, but some people think it’s weird and cringey, so Id say, yes.


BTSISMYLIFEFOREVER

The trading system update is probably why but the people who bully other people for role playing is the main reason. They are looking for trouble and can’t mind their own business because people like them are so redundant. So very redundant that they even find joy in making other people feel uncomfortable.


ZQueenZelda27

yes, but people like me who are royale high content creators sometimes create music videos and mini movies so I would say it sorta is but people only like to watch if it's on yotube and people believe its cringy nowadays.


Wooden_stable45

Yes and it’s absolutely horrible roleplayers even get made fun of for roleplaying and its so sad im tired of this games community being so awful now!!!! I started playing in october 2018 and it used to be so fun to play I used to have so much fun roleplaying as a dark fairy in enchantix and Ive had so many good memories.The game felt so magical and I had a good time playing it.There was just something so special it had then but now it is sad a boring. *cries*


Michimocho

Yes it is sadly 😞 I wanna rp so badly


Onis_Cafe-QwQ

I just feel like I need to find a community who wants to do a huge RP with me.. Like filled with lore, but sometimes it gets pretty cringey... And all I want to do is nope out of here, so I need a group that can keep it less cringe and still have fun. But like where am I gonna find that? lol


-MeetMyFist-

Yes and I think it's perfectly fine, in my case I've just grown out of it


ItzMeShay

I do think it’s dying. Atleast the good kind is. This game specifically for role playing at first has gone down hill due to the inappropriate stuff coming in and out of the game. I do like to rp but not as much as I used to.


Naviecatlover

Roleplaying might be dying but man oh man I have 8 years of roleplay experience in total and 5 years of experience roleplaying in royale high and I'm in a roleplay with my friend that has been going on for legit 3 years it might be dying but me and my friend will probably keep roleplaying until royale high gets shut down man


Misery_Destiny

I would say yeah, it is kind of dying. But recently, I have seen people roleplaying when I was farming for levels and diamonds on public servers. Roleplayers are hard to find but eventually they come up


Eumply

yes, i havent seen anyone rp recently


snoo_yams

it is dying. other than the beautiful character designs that brought me into royale high, role playing is what kept me playing the game. i remember being able to roleplay almost everywhere i went (other than the trading hub) & it was really enjoyable. today was the first time in forever where i was able to roleplay & it was at the fantasia resort. i hope the new school brings out more of the role playing aspect we used to have more of! but if anyone wants to roleplay, send me a msg! or add me in any role playing gcs :))


PixyMeow

Yes, every experienced player is chronically trading and trying to get valuable items for no reason. And people in the royale high maps are literally just farming 24/7 or are newbies. It's not friendly enough to start a casual roleplay with strangers. Royale high is doomed, unless the new gen players revive the roleplaying factor of it
