Going to pin this comment, since it is very prominent in many of the posts made.

I'm amazed at how disconnected from reality Launce is
I've been really out of touch from the game for quite some time, I really don't care what happens on it or to it anymore tbh
But I've been reading some of the responses Launce's been saying on Twitter and by God it has some of the worst takes I've seen
I'm just amazed at how much he doesn't care about the community and how little he knows about what happens in the game itself, but I'm not surprised, it's nothing new, it's a problem that's been running for a year or so
This game is going downhill by the minute and the devs are the only to blame
I guess I can say I "officially quitted" a long time ago so it doesn't affect me, but I'm so sorry for the people that's been really invested in this game for far more time, I feel like this set is one of the final nails in the coffin for a lot of players
I wish the devs would look through this sub sometimes. Not as a mod wanting more members, but as a part of a community that wants to speak to them. I wish they'd realize that it's not the "haters" who are telling them these things, it's fans of the game who want it the way it was.
Fr, they are really invested in thinking that everything is unjustified hate
And it doesn't help that anyone who dares to speak their mind out gets blocked, their Twitter comments are either devs, rh influencers and very little players who just ADORE THEM no matter what they do
Avoiding the feedback at all costs, and with that the community's voice, it's what's making the game going from bad to worse
perfectly worded.
Ah thank you :)
He is literally delusional <3
I really wish this isn't the direction barbie wish to take the game, and it's just all Launces idea, But unfortunately we will never know.
This is gonna be a controversial one, but it doesn’t bother me. (Just let me know what you think instead.)
The Charity set is honestly a decent idea, but they executed this terribly. They could instead give out the set and recommend to donate to St.Jude instead of forcing people to buy it with a terrible profit number as the outcome. (As in, just have a link up and give out the set to everyone that is present during the time period. If they donate even a dollar’s worth, they can get the skirt for free.)
The leaderboard option could be for players that donated money over a dollar.
If they never initially reach the goal, they can give out more diamond farming options instead and just give out the rework as well. (It would be a waste to withhold something for that long anyways. I remember the rework being mentioned in February, so they should have finished that a while from now.)
Sorry if anything I said bothered you, but I honestly think this would have been the best idea overall.
Edit: I added the 2nd one since I think that Inflation is mostly because of the bad farming options, and a few unpopular posts mentioned that the 20+ diamonds are now counted as 1+.
I agree. Decent concept, absolutely horrible timing & execution.
The thing is the part of it is roblox being shitty too because they wouldn’t allow the royale high Team to put in any links or anything
Agree on this one. The set + Enchanted Skirt are both great reworks and stuff, and the charity thing as a whole is a great idea, but the execution was not well done.
TY, it makes it easier if we have everything in the same thread anyways.
So does anybody else think they're gonna drop the magical enchantress rework ANYWAYS even if we don't hit the goal? I don't think the devs would throw away an already made concept just for that reason when its been begged for so long.
I don't know but the skirt redesign is kinda cute but this update is mid
Yeah update is pretty mid. Not much besides the charity sales going on. I'm also wondering if this means we will just repeat last year's halloween and december updates since they've been working on this surprise event and new school the whole time.
Yh no offense but every excuse to not making a new update is because of the new school, which is fine because its hard to make a game and constantly update it but they have been dragging on the new school for 2+ like come on.
I mean I agree they keep saying "soon" and taking longer, but its also 10 realms in 1. It also is using better graphics standards than anything we have so far, so of course it takes time to make. Im more annoyed they say "soon" when its not soon. If they stopped promising false release times I understand they need to work on it.
I mean yea possibly
Imma be honest I think that if we don’t hit that goal they might keep the money, even if we keep the goal they might keep the money though so
who's to say they even reworked it? i personally think that they made the goal so ridiculously high on purpose because they know they aren't going to reach it, and they're hoping they DON'T have to rework the skirt. we've been made so many promises and they always get broken, I wouldn't be surprised if the magical enchantress rework is just another one of those.
I am pretty sure the skirt has had a confirmed completed rework for a while now.
Pretty sure the rework's model was already posted lol. By fer iirc (unless they changed whos doing it)
i thought saltehshio reworked it?
Is it? I remember fer posting one but it could have changed to a diff dev as well. Either way the model has been posted so its not like they haven't already done it yet.
Yh 1 million USD dallars?
Plus roblox takes tax out of the robux they get!
Hopefully they reach it <3
I am sorry but this update is ludicrous fucking 4k robux for a parasol!?!?!??!? Look I understand that it's going towards charity but not all of us are made of robux. This set will most likely be in the 'low in demand' set section. I want the parasol but I don't have 4k robux to spend
I really hope the hype of this set dies, It's so ridiculous that people are willing to spend 5 million diamonds on a set- it's pretty yeah, but not by any means my favorite set.
Seriously! I feel like this is going to lead to an uptick of either prices being absolutely atrocious or people are going to start asking for Robux instead of dims for these set pieces (which like sucks but understandable at the same time)
Like jeez, YouTubers/Influencers are going to be thr majority of the owners of the set. Even witht thr community almost unanimously boycotting this set.
Mhm
I dont even have robux and people pay over 4 million dims for the set, I don't have that much, its ridiculous. This is a whole new level of overpricing. The devs claim to be too busy to make a new summer badge and yet they have plenty of time to make an entire set. It's stupid, it's bullshit
And there’s basically no way to actually farm for diamonds now!!
Real, tbh now I just level grind to get diamonds and maybe getting a bit of diamonds hanging around in different realms here and there
Fr tho the only people that will buy this are youtubers. I bet people are going to trade there whole inventory for this set.
Mhm
[removed]
Also them straight up lying about the set having a masc toggle?? 💀
There was a masculine toggle promised? We have plenty of Feminine sets, and they had PLENTY of time to make a masculine toggle. Wtf???
yea i could’ve sworn that the day the set was announced Noa or one of the devs said specifically that there would be masc toggles. It’s probably somewhere on Twitter but such a weird thing to lie about
Fr though, they could’ve taken like half the useless toggles from the skirt and made a masc set.
Fr and them locking the only new content we have been promised (magical enchantress rework) behind a LITERAL million real life dollars
What they thought we would do: “come on guys! Let’s band together and donate to Saint Jude and get our long awaited reword!”
What they KNEW we would do: “the game is dying and the devs aren’t helping at all, they blame everything on the new school and put the magical enchantress behind a ridiculous paywall.”
How they reacted: “HATERS”
And something I thought about, if the 1 million USD actually gets to Saint Jude, would they take all the credit for it and act like they randomly decided to pay out if pocket instead of hold a fundraiser?
As far I as I know, the bodice and sleeve have a "male" version when you wear it with the male bodytipe, wich is the same bodice and sleeves but a little wider so it looks more masculine
Omfg, they've lied so many times, it's hard to believe anything they say
Exactly :( when I saw the tweet I was so hyped to get the bodice and heels, and was so confused that I couldn't find the toggles in shop
Thoughts on the sets price
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
as we mostly know it’s a full robux set, a robux set that costs a shocking (Drumroll)
8.5k ROBUX
For people using GBP this set will cost around £84
To put this into perspective the minimum wage a lot of people are living on right now here for teenagers is £4.62 an hour
The teenagers would have to work 18 hours in order to earn that much.
For adults who have kids who may want the set, national living wage is £8.91
Is equal to 9.5 hours of work. In an economic crisis this may be a really drastic purchase that very few can afford.
This is worsened by the fact that THE CHARITY ONLY GETS ABOUT £20 OUT OF THAT £84 DONATION!!
In conclusion, don’t feel bad if you can’t afford it!
There are several other ways to donate if you’re interested such as directly to St Jude’s or to charities like Great Ormond Street hospital (a huge childrens hospital)
You can donate as much as you can spare.
But you don’t have to, people are in really tough places right now, we are all struggling, don’t feel bad if you can’t spare anything right now.
(On twitter I saw loads of people making others feel bad for saying it was simply unaffordable just know it’s a tough world we live in right now and not everyone can afford to drop that kinda money on a charity or princess game)
Thoughts on the magical enchantress
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Not to mention, the fact they’re locking the Magical enchantress skirt rework (one of the only updates we have been promised besides the new school) behind a ONE MILLION USD PAYWALL is utterly shocking. No way will a game whose player base is dropping by the second due to an already resounding lack of content ever be able to fund that. When I joined moonlight square yesterday, every person in that server started saying they were just going to quit, it’s out of touch and frankly
It’s classism, this update was made knowing damn well influencers are the only people who can afford it, If it were like 800-1000 robux (about £10) THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH MORE REASONABLE! So many people would be able to afford it meaning WAY more donations than just setting the price point stupidly high and like 5 people buying it.
Final thoughts on the set herself
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Anyways it’s a cute set and the story in the description is really sweet but like £85-£105 is just not fair and seeing as the charity gets a whole £20 per £100 donation, just donate directly and trade for the set 🌛 (good luck with overpricers though something rh forgot to take into account lol) Also ‼️‼️ NO MASC TOGGLE‼️‼️ there isn’t a masc toggle for the set so like 😎👉👉.
Stay safe babes xxx
I agree with everything you said whole heartedly but I wouldn't go as far as to call this classism. Classism is more so denying people things they need in life based on their income. Like food, clothes, housing, etc. Or judging people for the economic level they live at. While, again yeah this set costing $80+ is honestly so stupid. It's not like this is a necessary part of anyone's life. This isn't me trying to argue I just don't think it's good to reduce the definition of classism down.
I think there are many broad definitions of classism. Or many things can include it. I think both of you are describing concepts that fit under classism, because the OP probably meant that instead of buying a set for 85$ as a leisure thing you are spending that money on necessities to survive
Wait so even if you already have the magical enchantress skirt, you won’t get the reworked version unless you buy the enitre set?!
Nope nope, I'm pretty sure it's a goal that if enough money were used to buy the set they will release the magical enchantress dress ( reworked version ) and everyone can trade for it or have it. You don't have to buy the set if you don't want to to have the dress
Omg! Thats no weird ri.p ;-;
[removed]
I don't think any age is gonna buy this except as you said influencers You have to be out of your mind this is a unreasonable price. I don't agree with some of the things you said such as the classism claim but I agree, you'd be better off donating to the St. Jude
im pretty sure they will release the skirt even if we don't get to the goal.
They’re also overestimating the amount of people that still play their game after being gone for so long. Many of us who do still play aren’t willing to pay that much money on a game that goes inactive for months at a time. If you’re donating $100, honestly you’re better off going straight to St. Jude. I know the money is for charity (despite roblox getting a good chunk of it) but I’m not investing that much for a set in this game, they’re way too inconsistent. I don’t even buy diamonds anymore, the game doesn’t deserve any of our money tbh. I didn’t want this to sound insensitive as it is still a charity event, but the devs are being insensitive and irresponsible themselves. If this is why they’ve been gone for months it’s really sad, because this is an awfully executed event for something so serious. Again, if you’re donating, just go straight to St. Jude.
Amazing concept, yet terrible execution 🤦♀️
Yeah I stopped playing lol and I logged in today and I was like wtf??
No, they’re being sensitive. Only when being called out for the ridiculous set price, the massive paywall, lying all the time, laid off update because of the new school, etc.
See, they can be sensitive, but only for themselves.
I think it's unwise to spend money on the set, if you're gonna buy it do so with extra robux or selling limiteds, I did that and I spent my actual money donating to charity.
My Thoughts on the new set:
First impressions, it looked very pretty, and the thought of it was very kind, but they didn't think enough about the people who COULDN'T afford the set.
They should've done something like: "Every 1 diamond spent equals 10 cents to donation."
I've seen people saying only %20 percent of it is going to the hospital, which makes it obvious that they're only doing this to make themselves look good. like celebrities.
I was so excited to see the new set, and then it costed robux, our parents/friends/siblings/ourselves can't afford this. We aren't gonna pay money for digital clothes, we have IMPORTANT things to buy. They really should've thought of something better.
Last impressions, this was a dumb idea, they made this too much, they should've done a realistic goal, like 1,000 dollars, or they should've done the thing I suggested above. If you wanna spend your money on pointless stuff, fine. Go ahead I won't stop you. But I suggest you directly donate.

Well actually it’s roblox that’s getting the other 80% not royale high
Well, roblox takes 30%, so 30% to roblox, 20% to Saint Jude, leaving Royale high on its throne of lies with 50% of the money.
Small PSA.
While I reluctantly bought the entirety of the new set, it only equated to $20.80 for St. Jude. 8.6k Robux costs approximately $90, and only a little bit of that went to the charity.
Don't get me wrong, the set is admittedly very gorgeous! There are 10+ toggles on almost each piece, and it's all around very pretty!...
...It just isn't worth 8.6k Robux.
If you want to actually help with the charity cause, please donate DIRECTLY. Only donate if it is within your financial capabilities, you are not obligated to donate at all! I'll leave a link to the St. Jude website below. I've donated, and it's a great feeling to know that you're helping the cause directly instead of your hard-earned money being filtered through Roblox and the RH devs, and not getting as much as originally intended.
No hate, I enjoy the set a lot, just not the execution behind it... And I wish the devs did better.
That concludes my PSA :)
I only dropped 2K Robux because I had it. It equaled to $5.39. I was hoping, stupidly, that maybe they would price match, so my $20 would be $20. We do that all the time at Uplift Games. Nope. I would have been more......forgiving? if that was the case.
Okay so I understand the set’s purpose but why The magical enchantress rework?
A previously promised free update is now locked behind a 1m USD paywall and yes it could be argued as “incentive” but why this? Literally anything else would have worked like the LTBS being given to people who bought the set or an exclusive halo if you reached the goal.
The fact is a update we were promised for months is now a money deal and if they do end up releasing the rework if we don’t reach the goal then that’s just as bad, because they framed it as WE HAVE to reach the goal to obtain it and they are refusing to answer on what happens if we fail despite many people asking the official twitter many times.
I think if we don’t get the goal it will be released under the ideology “HERE BECAUSE WE’RE SO NICE AND GIVING TO YOU ALL!!!” which is very manipulative.
Also this sparks a debate on the future..will future small updates be behind a paywall? I know this one is for charity but what about the next? Games usually do this as a test run to see how well paywalls sell, they start off as a “one off” thing with a non-malicious cause but then they realize this works and their fanbase is willing to pay for stuff so why not do it more they can’t say no?
This whole situation is gross and a corrupt business practice waiting to happen for the future of the game. The set was okay and went to a good cause but everything else shows a darker future waiting
okay but fr. we will most likely not reach 1 million, so the rework just.. won’t happen?? after all these months? have they already made the rework? like? will we just never get it?
Im pretty sure the rework model already exists and if we dont meet it theyll drop it anyways and go "you see we are SO NICE we gave it to you anyways!" Since they clearly know people are mad. I have a feeling the whole goal thing honestly was just a way of counteracting the incoming boycott and isnt actually what they meant to do lol
Easy solution, they could have just set up a GoFundMe or something if they really cared about all of the money going to charity. There shouldn't be a middle man (Roblox) in the middle of this, they are going to take majority of the proceeds. Good cause, bad excecution. To me, all of this almost doesn't feel real, but it is.
Royale high is a roblox game surely it’s logical for it to be middle-manned on roblox since that’s where the community is. I don’t necessarily think it was executed well but offering ingame goods for donating seems like a fair prompt for a game’s fan base. I believe they’ve done charity streams in the past before, as well, so this was just something different I suppose
The problem with roblox in the middle is that because of how dev and income work roblox takes a percentage of that. When you buy say a 300 gamepass, the devs arent getting 300 robux there getting like 210, because Roblox takes a percentage of that.
So St judes is not getting 1 mil even we reached the goal
So for RH devs to market it as if all our money its goin directly to st Jude's is messed up, because its not really, roblox is getting that
I'm going to echo out the frequent responses I've seen and give out my thoughts.
I've been thinking as to why they have to lock the Magical Enchantress skirt rework behind the charity event. Isn't copyright the main issue for legacy skirts to be reworked? A necessary update shouldn't be like this.
The last time I logged into the game is that they're reached to 12% of their goal, which is progress for the skirt rework. I speculate that they put trust in the possibility of reaching the goal. However, we're talking about items worth of robux that costs more than gamepasses. It promotes in-game spending and item collection. No wonder why Royale High's gameplay remains stale.
Edit: (I apologize for the excessive and inconsistent edits)
Countering my statement on the impracticality of the set for charity donations, I do believe that virtual items COULD encourage players to help for the cause. The event could've been executed into awareness where they give out free items to work for, but of course, that can't generate funds.
The suggestion of tracking down players who directly donate to St. Jude in order to gain an item is against Roblox's TOS. How are they doing to track down players who donate directly? This may also count as third-party transaction (basically, you're paying real money to obtain an item in Roblox without using their virtual currency which is either diamonds for Royale High or Robux. That's considered as illegal). Do correct me on this part if I'm mistaken.
12% in less than 24 hours is a good sign that we won’t reach the goal in a month.
It would be concerning if it got to at least 40% in that much time, but since most things get hyped up when releasing, they skyrocket in number from there, but then free fall down after the third day.
Basically, it’s unlikely we will reach said goal unless someone buys the full set a hundred times to hype things up. (That’s 10k USD, and highly unlikely.)
Yeah, this. Fundraisers of this nature (dropped on existing communities as a big event) tend to get the majority of their earnings at the very first 24 hours. 12% is utterly miniscule, especially since it was so hyped. We MIGHT see a bump at the weekends due to freetime and paychecks coming in, but I doubt it would pass the goal simply because people who have to go paycheck to paycheck aren't likely to drop 100 of it on a roblox game dress.
Not to mention the fact that rh doesn’t even have the player base that it used to. Even gigantic YouTubers tend to collab with other YouTubers for such big fundraiser events, and I’d say rh has at best 100k active players. Factor that in with rh’s playerbase being mostly under 16 and few players on Roblox willing to buy more than 5k robux at a time, and it’s easy to see just how bad of an idea this all is.
Yeah the dono goal should never have been above 500k at best, and it shouldnt have gated a rework (which is expected considering items are outdated and they have set the precedent for reworks being normal already.)
I get having A dono goal, but it should've been much more lenient and something actually extra, not something we would expect to come by default. I don't know what they were thinking with a 1mil after conversion for a rework that has been promised for ages.
I think it is agasint tos of roblox but its werid cuz many game companies do this, such as Ea with apex, Ubisfot with For honor, and Activision Blizzard with overwatch. They all did this with twitch and just watch a stream or donating would give you the item. so its a bit weird.
it is not against tos, I just read the entire thing. it doesn't say anywhere that you can't donate the proceeds of an in-game item to charity
honestly I do understand the intentions to do something good. what they should have done is had multiple charity streams and whenever a certain goal was released a set piece would be put up for sale! I would also have liked for them to post the link to a special donating website so that royale high could count how much you’ve donated and put you on a leaderboard, but this part actually seems unrealistic because it’s against Roblox TOS to direct to a 3rd party website, even if it is for charity.
So I think the streams would be the best plan for this, as 1. You can choose any amount to donate for your budget 2. Roblox does not get majority of funds (which means the goal could be smaller like 250-500k) 3. It would be more motivating for everyone to be able to get the set (especially if the parasol was at the very end!)
and this would have helped rally the community together for the set (though I suppose people would still be angry at having the set locked behind a paywall, it’s far better than whatever dumpster fire is going on now)
opinions?
Charity streams make so much more sense, it’s so frustrating that they expect kids to pay so much
They could had gotten away with it if they TALKED TO ROBLOX.
nah fr
well maybe not exactly, they might be able to get around the TOS by having each piece be given out to all players as a gift for the dry updates or an early breast cancer awareness month gift, they'd just have to be careful and not say anything about the donating part
See the issue about the set situation is the amount of the robux it costs. Kids/people who just can’t afford robux don’t have that type of cash to spend and so they get upset understandably. Then there’s people who swoop in and say “you can trade for it” or “you don’t have to buy it” The whole reason why ppl are complaining are bc they wanna buy it but can’t. We’ve been patiently waiting for the skirt rework as well and now we have to purchase expensive set pieces just to get it?! Unbelievable. Trading also doesn’t help because people are over pricing it so badly! The whole thing is horrible.
True
alright, first of all, the fact this is gonna cost 4.5k robux is already a big no-no. royale high is hiding behind the fact its for charity for a ridiculous price. 70% of the robux is going to roblox anyway, so barely any profit (approx 1350 robux profit) so thats about 13 pounds. if you wanna make people donate for a good cause just do it directly. and the fact that its tradeable too is just gonna make royale high die. ive seen big discussion about this in many servers, and it looks like royale high is just ignoring all the backlash. they've turned a game i used to love into something that feels like a burden.
like the only thing keeping royale high alive is trading. but this is restricted to people level 75+. royale high currently has 12k players playing, which is a big drop from what it used to be. they're trying to get people hyped for the new school, but seriously. its been 2 years. royale high developers have honestly been so lazy, such as not releasing wave 3 of the summer update last year, not even getting one this year, and literally the easter and dewdrop event is still here because there hasnt been an update. royale high also ruined the royale high school farming routine, which also caused a lot of backlash. its like the devs want royale high to die. and dont hit me with the 'oH yOu hAvEnT dEvElOpEd a GaMe bEfOre yOu wOuldNt uNdErstAnD' because i have and i do understand. it does take a lot of time, but royale high has quite a big development team and they can simply just excuse the new school production to keep the game alive.
Boycott rh. Don't just boycott the set, BOYCOTT ROYAL HIGH. This is absolutely disgraceful.
The fact that the first update in YEARS has been behind a paywall is scummy and greedy. Multiple canceled updates, Multiple broken promises, MULTIPLE DRAMA, only for us to just get a pie in our faces. The skirt we were promised back in DECEMEBER is now behind a 1m dollar paywall and don't get me started on the new set. The absolutely audacity for the devs to upload their game on a child-teen gaming platform and then PUTING ITEMS BEHIND A PAYWALL THAT IS NOT CHEAP AT ALL. 80-100 BUCKS. NO CHILD IN THIS WEBSITE HAS THE MONEY and to hide themselves from criticism, they are hiding behind a charity that btw, only 20% of the money is going to by the way. Also they are making this set tradeable, which mean that people will HUNDRED PERECNT, WILL OVERPRICE THIS. This set will cost over 40 mil dims. This is sad. Tho at least the set looks pretty.
To people who want to actually donate, please dont buy the set instead donate to st jude IT SELF
that link will take you to their page where you can donate your FULL 80 bucks DIRECTLY.
The set is also limited which doesn’t make sense since it’s for charity and will inflate in price when it goes off sale which will be a huge problem for collectors or people who genuinely want the set.
yess!! boycott royale high for thinking of the needs of sick children instead of the wants of the player base that does nothing but harass them!
seriously though, it's great if you donate directly to st. jude. the set and ME skirt is just incentive for people who wouldn't or couldn't usually do that. I can't donate directly to st jude because I don't have a credit/debit card. I can, however, buy a roblox card from the store with cash, get robux with it, and buy the set. the thing is, the people who say "boycott rh, donate directly" never actually... seem to donate. people can buy the set if they want to. even if only like 33% of it becomes a donation, it's more than I was donating before, which was nothing. any donation is better than nothing, not many charities are known for saying "$20??? it smells like POOR in here come back when you have more money"
Your whole comment is the whole reason why boycott rh should happened. SEE how you said you can't donate to the Chairty directly BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE A DEBIT/CREDIT CARD? (As in you are probably a minor or just not someone who is able to get one?) As in kids only way to donate is through the sets and the problem with that is if the kid just generally wants to donate to the charity, they can't CUZ THEY ARE KIDS. They set a goal for 1m dollars on a KID GAMING PLATFORM marketing TOWARDS KIDS. how are kids supposed to reach that goal if they can't use credit cards or can't buy Roblox gift cards? (Not all places in the world sell roblox gift cards.)
Also please keep making assumptions and make yourself the bad person here, saying that the people saying to boycott never donate as I literally donated 80 bucks to the st judes the moment the update came out and many people have been posting links to st jude so people can donate directly, but whatever keep generalizing everyone.
Also, If Rh was thinking on the charity, there is way better methods to have this charity happen. like streaming on twitch, and then when they meet the goal, they upload the update AND MAKE THE SET COST DIMS WHILE ALSO RELASING THE REWORK. There are made ways they could had done this, and they do it in the way they that they still profit.
what twitch stream gets 300k raised in 24 hours? streams don't even LAST that long. of course this all traces back to just wanting to afford the set, it always does. I just don't understand, how is rh making a way to donate to st jude for people who couldn't before a bad thing? your logic makes no sense. 1 million is a big goal but we got over a fifth of the way there in just one day, so clearly it's working. you act like they're asking a million dollars from one child. there are adults and teens who play the game too, you know. children's games have been doing things like this for ages now. club penguin had a whole way to donate to charity built into the game. I get thinking it's not gonna raise that much money but to attack anyone who supports it and constantly go off about how evil it is? just why?
I fail to see why I have to make myself the "bad person" here, I'm not the one who saw an outfit on a game for charity and made it all about how I can't personally afford it and therefore it's evil. that's the rest of this subreddit. I've seen people on twitter get LIVID when asked how much they donate, I think it's safe to say theres plenty of people complaining about how "poorly" this was executed (oh please, it's so obvious everyone's just upset there's an item in the game they can't get. obviously adding an incentive is gonna make people, especially young people, more likely to donate. charities give incentives all the time, haven't you ever seen those "donate $20 and get a drawstring bag" things?) who just constantly complain about how bad the devs are at charity while not even donating anything themselves.
I doubt the effectiveness of this "boycott".
fr what do they think they are doing
Their game is already dying so… maybe you’re right
The set is (no offense) ugly in my opinion. If you’re gonna make something that expensive, at least do it right.
If you really want to help charity, you should’ve asked people to donate on a separate website that would generate a code which when entered into rh would automatically deliver the new (hideous) outfit. Is it really charity if roblox takes 30% of the profit??
Most people simply don’t have the money to buy the set, whether it is because they’re in a rough financial situation right now or just have to pay for other things (such as medical bills for example). Royale high used to be inclusive and so nice because everybody could make diamonds, and there were plenty of rich players that never spend robux. But now? That’s all over. Not only is the game forcing you to spend money so that you can become an ‘invested player’ but it HAS A LEADERBOARD TO SHOW HOW MUCH WAS SPENT??? I saw absolutely HUGE NUMBERS ON THE SPEND LIST!! Imagine how bad it must feel to simply want the set, and then see that there’s a person that bought it at least 5 times and is selling each item for at least fricking 800k.
This game just took the biggest downfall ever, I’m genuinely considering quitting all together. I always admired royale high for being a game where you don’t necessarily need money to get far, but that changed. I’m very disappointed (fyi I’ve been playing for 3 yeara and am level 330+).
I agree except I really like the parasol, heels and arms of the set
Also (this is my 2nd comment lol), given that most people playing this game are children, the whole purpose of people ‘donating for charity’ is non existent. Little kids really don’t care what happens to the money that goes into the game, they just want to buy the set ‘cause they like it; They don’t see it as a donation, they see it as any other purchase.
(While I appreciate RH’s effort, I’m starting to believe that the whole charity part of things was used as an excuse to release a set that costs robux. I’m not saying their intentions with the donations and all was bad, but not only is it waaay out of control, but it’s also not taking into consideration the people that play this game).
More than all the kids whining that they can't afford the set, it's disappointing to see that the devs are using roblox as a middleman when donating
Okay I’ll just say one simple thing here.
the top leaderboard for donating money is CRAZY
the top t are ytbers I’m pretty sure. The top one is 2000 DOLLARS WHAT
just donate to saint Jude please
They’re all YouTubers with thousands and millions of subscribers
Some of these YouTubers probably didn't buy their robux and got it from somewhere else but ffs, just donate to their actual site. I won't judge people who buy it but multiple sets💀
I feel like the RH devs are getting an ego and arrogant/cocky just cuz RH is one of the most popular games they’re really testing the limit and they think the world revolves around them and anyone slightly complaining or criticizing is a hater
Thought you meant us and got scared--- /nm
LOL sorry I meant RH mods
haha it's alr
you'd call them devs or developers then
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
I corrected my mistake uwu
uwu
uwu but more
i think they would have had a much better outcome if the set wasn't $80. most RH players are children and if i was a kid and told my mom i wanted $80 for robux, she'd have a heart attack and probably forbid me from playing it ever again. but saying i need $15 for roblox is way more reasonable for parents. i work full time and i still think the price is dumb af.
the even worse thing is the magical enchantress re-work, which they've been talking about for a while, being behind a ONE MILLION DOLLAR crowdfund is ridiculous. can they make that amount? yeah maybe. but are they also going to put it back on sale? so, $1mil to just "unlock" the re-work and then however much more to buy the actual dress. i doubt it will be an insane amount when re-worked but it feels very odd to have to essentially pay for something twice, if you don't already own it.
tons of other games do cheap charity items in their games, obviously roblox takes a big cut, but if your items are only $5-$10 you'll have a much higher amount of purchases as it's a more accessible amount. so it being "for charity" is a moot point because other games do fundraisers for charity and do it way better than RH does. and again, if it was cheaper, they'd still be getting decent cash flow and will still probably get the same cut for charity at the end of their fundraising.
the set itself is absolutely beautiful and theres great work put into it but there's no reason, at all, while it should cost that much. sorry not sorry. im not whaling for RH.
And the fact you have to buy the set multiple times to unlock the rework is un fair 😭😭
Seriously, what the hell happened to my favorite game? A whole set of pixels cost more then $80 (Side note, why do you even have to create a set in your game to help pay for charity?? Donate to St. Judes directly! Buying the set doesn’t even donate all the money.) And then we have a SINGLE pixel with a new model locked behind a ONE MILLION dollar paywall!? Who do you think plays your game? Only billionaires? There are KIDS and Teens playing Royale High! Speaking as a teen myself, it’s not like I get payed $1000 every day. This entire comment sounds so offensive, but the way this game has gone downhill just because of a few decisions made by the devs is honestly stupid. We haven’t even gotten the new realms and we’re paying hundreds of dollars? At this point not even playing the game will be free.
I get paid $1000 every
FTFY.
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
Beep, boop, I'm a bot
NOOOOOOOOO
I was on traderie bc why not, the average people pay for the new set is a whopping 3 TRILLION- Someone seriously pulled that price out of their ass, these people are trippin' if they think people can pay 3 fucking trillion for a set- and we thought the previous overpricing was bad- this is just ridiculous
fr, people are overpricing it way too much 💀aint no one gonna pay 3 trillion diamonds for it😭😭😭
This is just AWFUL I mean we don’t have proof of the charity going to st Judes some of us don’t have robux and when we get upset because all of our money probably won’t make a dent because of roblox taking almost half of the cash we give them they call haters? REALLY?? Like idk about you but haters wouldn’t be playing the game even when the updates are now trash and the game is dead but yeahhh we’re totally haters. They could’ve done streams for the money and stuff like and I feel like some people forget that they also have to pay their staff SO WHILE MAJORITY OF THE MONEY IS GOING TO ROBLOX THE OTHER PORTION IS BEING GIVEN TO THE STAFF, and of course everyone deserves to be paid for their job but cmon now 🤦🏽♀️
Or maybe every diamond someone spent they could donate to charity? idk how that works tho
Let’s talk about how delusional the royale high community is being right now other than the developers themselves, People are selling 4-6M For a set that’s $100. “but it’s a limited set!” Or “but it costs robux!” Allow me to address the “but it’s a limited item” Argument. The midnight popstar set is also a limited item but it costs nowhere near as much as the goddess of triumph set in trading right now. People are up selling the set and basically implying that the set is worth 2-2.5k Dollars in USD,For someone with the 4X Diamonds game pass with consistent gameplay it would take me MOST OF THE YEAR to actually get it. I think people are scamming people with how ridiculous the prices are in trading. “But it’s the only item that costs robux!” Shame on you for using that as an excuse. You and I both KNOW why it costs robux. At the end of the day it costs robux for a good cause. And you using that as an excuse is so low. People should be selling the set for 300-400k diamonds. Not half of someone’s account. Shame on both the royale high community and the devs.
I completely agree with you. I saw someone selling just the parasol ALONE for 6 MILLION diamonds. It’s honestly ridiculous. Like you said it cost $100 for everything all together. And people are going overboard just because it cost robux. It’s really sad. Makes me hope the price of all of the items just instantly drop once it isn’t available anymore. Then it’ll have no value.
I hope the people who have a habit of overpricing stuff comes to their sense’s and realizes that the world doesn’t revolve around them.
And can we just talk about how we have a robux to diamond converter in the actual diamond shop… the prices are legit right in our faces. the shoes are 25K, legit. that’s all. but it’s like 1M on traderie…
I plead you to pardon my English and typos.
Okay I don't know enough about this, and I DO have a vested interest since I own the reworked skirt. I also haven't played royale high for a year.
Here is just my opinion overall--- I believe that the developers are doing a good cause, but it's being executed badly.
First of all, it doesn't appeal to many of us in the playerbase. Considering that most of us are teenagers and kids, the chance of us getting the costly set while supporting charity is very obscure. Roblox also extracts a fair sum of money during the transaction (according to what I read), so the amount of money going to the charity is little. The effectiveness of this is questionable in general, and no doubt it will add to the frustration of the playerbase. The players are not only expressing their discontentment to this issue, but also the ones accumulated in the community far before, it's more like a tickling bomb that blasted.
Then, the reworked skirt behind the pay wall is unwise. Some players think it is a great incentive, indeed it is. Yet understandably, most of the players might not see it that way, especially if they anticipated it to be free. Now, not only it is not free, but the pay wall is also a one million USD pay wall. This only elevated the frustration and raised more complaints from the players. Genuinely not a good move from the developers.
To comfort the players (who cannot afford the set/ own the original skirt), the developers could have replaced the reworked skirt with another skirt related to the theme. Then release the reworked skirt for free. It's also a way to compensate or "repay" the veteran players, or in general people who own the skirt. This could have made the situation better in my humble opinion.
As for the set and other issues concerning it, I have no say since I don't have the knowledge required. I don't want to use anything baseless as evidence to support my argument.
Minuses the concern about the Roblox TOS and the suspect that it's not solely for charity. The charity fundraising set is a good concept, the set looks great and comes with multiple toggles most of all. Unfortunately, it is unappealing and unaffordable to most of the playerbase; and became a media for players to display their snowballed discontentments.
Let's be real, the only people who can actually afford the full set are:
The working percentage of the community Influencers Cross traders Kids from rich families
And there's a lot of other people who would love a cross collab charity event! But it's just too hard for people to donate. I feel like they should have let the set be 8.4k, but also let people donate any amount they want and get a different prize.
I also think it's obnoxious for the devs to be waving the rework in front of us like the 'carrot on a stick' tactic. It seems especially underhanded for charity.
Roblox probably doesn’t know about this situation, and if they do, I don’t think they’ll take this situation very lightly, since this goes against their TOS.
Just my speculation of course since I saw a post about this earlier.
how exactly is it breaking roblox tos?
I've just checked, and unless there's something I missed, it's not. people are just spreading (more) misinformation at this point.
Look at the last comment made by OP to another user about this question
Honestly im tiring of these rh updates, like the charity thing is a whole problem on its own but we basically barley get anything else after months and months of no updates and a lot of silence on what we were gonna get next.
Like I was expecting maybe more hairs and maybe reworks of wheel items, but all we really got was a new look for the shop, two new hairs, faces and clothes. After months, I kinda had my hopes up. They were working on something bigger, but all we get is some 80 dollar set for a game that doesn't even give us updates beyond bug fixes and new sets. I dont know why i should pay 80-100 dollars for a game thats dying off.
When I refer to the devs here, I'm refering to Launce and Barbie. The TEENAGE dev team have no blame in this (side note, do they even get paid??)
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
I want to give the devs the benifet of the doubt, but thats proving to be rather hard.
Very few people can afford this. I know it isn't "compulsory", but at this point, this is a dress up game. You don't "need" the new set, but it's also the only point to play the game anymore.
The devs keep cancelling updates and making empty promises. They don't seem to care about their playerbase (I wish I thought they did). They're making this game pay2win. (Locking updates behind paywalls)
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
All I want is for them to admit they f@%ked up. All I want if for them to fix their mistakes.
Everyone makes mistakes, I understand that. My problem is with the devs putting themselves in echo chambers (blocking anyone who has different opinions. Rejecting all criticism)
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
For anyone who wishes to support charity, I encourage you to do so. Also be aware that there are more charities other than St. Jude. Especially if you don't live in America, I suggest you look into other charities that support kids in your country.
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Stay safe out there folks. Times are hard, your well-being should always come first. It isn't selfish to take care of yourself.
Now I’m just speaking on my opinion so pls if you disagree with me pls walk away don’t cause any problems. Anyways we all know that the rh community already started bashing the devs for taking to long on the new school and not doing any updates. But on this one I believe they’ve gone to far. I understand they’re raising money for cancerous children, but people have been waiting on this set for months just for it to be behind a stupid expensive paywall… I mean 4k for a parasol… 8.5k altogether for the set and $160 IRL USD FOR IT TOO UM?!? Are the devs ok? And as you can probably see mostly rh youtubers are buying this set because they get their robux from merch and payments, but we are at the time where money is hard, and you expect me to waist $160 on a virtual item… I honestly feel like the devs are laughing at us rn…. Again this is my opinion pls no hate intended.
100% agree. No way I'm spending 100+ dollars on a pixel game. It's like rh is now catering towards the rich audience and forgetting that we have irl stuff to do like school, work, etc.
Fr! And as u can see from the leaderboard mostly the mods and the rh YouTubers are the ones buying it up. We are at the time where money is at its minimum. I’m not gonna drop $100+ on a game.
So let me get this straight,
Cancel black history month update
Make stereotypical accessories. (DOTD backlash)
Cancel other updates and use the new school as a excuse
Not update for nearly a entire damn year
But come back MONTHS later and speed run a entire update asking for money which is already suspicious, I’m not trying to blame anyone for anything BUT it is weird how I see it. I mean, randomly coming out of the blue and speed running a horrible charity update?
Have you game marketed towards children - young teens , Like hello? I bet 99% of the rh community hasn’t made over 10 dollars because they can’t get a job simply because they’re too young. Even if they did have money that 100 worth can go towards something more useful such as food,clothing,shoes, etc.
If they would lower the price they would get more sales and on top of that, what crazy rich / upper class mom is gonna buy a bunch a pixels? It’s obviously catered towards rich people or royal high content creators that genuinely have that money to splurge on. On top of that, I see it’s for a good cause but did they really have to donate to St.Judes? A company / charity who gets MILLIONS of donations from around the world EVERY SINGLE DAY. they could’ve donated to a smaller charity.
I am no way shape or form trying to say charity’s are bad, no. Not at all. I see helping others and donating a amazing thing, yes but it could’ve been executed better. It’s way much more easier and sensible to just make a charity live stream since some of the money (around 30%) is going towards little greedy roblox and some goes to the devs (as I heard). So little left to the charity itself.
And good heavens do NOT get me started on the inflation is is gonna cause in the trading community.
My Take on This Set:
So, I have not kept myself too in touch with drama that has been happening between Twitter and Reddit. I am not going to support either argument outright, but both arguments, that I have heard of so far- have valid points.
Why Robux and NOT Directly to the Charity?
So I have seen a lot of posts like this. Most of the argument is going something along the lines of 'If you can get the set at all, it would be better to directly support the charity itself'. This argument holds a lot of weight- and I can understand where a lot of the argument comes from.
Problem 1: Roblox's 70%-75% Tax
As we all know, Roblox as a cooperation has it's own way to make it's prifit. I do not agree with it's profit system- but as it is something I cannot influence- I am afraid I can't go over that much more than anyone else can complain about it.
Royale High is attempting to earn currency in the way that is not the best for most people- but is the most allegedly 'convenient'. (I will not give my opinion on this system either, as any way that it COULD be done is sadly perpetually flawed, and limited.) That being said, it is common knowledge that this is a very poorly planned event. One that should have been planned more before an initial posting.
Royale High is intending to raise 1 Million USD
This in itself is an impressive goal, and it would be even more impressive if it were all to go to the charity. However, it's not going to work like that. We already know it's not.
Roblox's corperation is going to be taking anywhere from 700,000 - 750,000 USD (in Robux) out of that Million, because of the way Roblox works. That would mean that only 250,000-300,000 of that, in USD would be donated to the charity.
((This is, of course, assuming that I calculated right))
This is because of the 70/30 - 75/25 Profit Margin Scale.
Problem #2: Why Robux and Not Direct to Charity?
Well, as much as I would hate to say it, it's bascially a 'pick your poison' for this situation. For those who can outright donate to the charity itself, I say go for it. That would ensure that 100% of what you are donating goes to the charity and not split between an inflated cooperation, and a game that sets the barrier between the charity and the cooperation.
The Main Argument:
So, the main argument that goes under this section is that Kids will not be able to afford 85$ worth of a set. Which is completely valid. 8.6k (??) Robux is an ASTOUNDING amount of money.
Kids usually cannot afford to give that much robux to anything. Especially if they are not a child that has free range to their parents credit or debit cards.
But the fact that they are children, should be the biggest thing considered in a lot of these arguments and it seems it is partially considered most of the time. (1/?)
The major hinderence on at least 50% of this argument is that it is being highly suggested to directly contribute to the charity instead. Which I would avidly support, if not for the fact that almost all of the payment methods to do so- require a card from someone who is of age.
Credit and Debit cards are usually only ever owned by adults. Paypal can only be obtained if you are 18 years old or older. (Which Paypal is one of the most popular ways to get paid for people who are supporting themselves with their respective mediums)
I do not use any other self-supporting apps such as Venmo, Cashapp, etc. I cannot give accurate interpretations of how well they could contribute and thus it is left to those who do use them to fill in the gaps for me.
As stated before, most of Roblox's fanbase IS children. Persons under the age of 18, who do not always have OPEN ACCESS to the ability to directly donate to these charities. These children are usually between 2 mediums for their Roblox Wallet. These mediums being relying on their parents being willing to pay for items for them- or them making money themselves in their own way.
Making Robux on Roblox without the aid of card purchase for it is challenging. A lot of people resort to donations games, using what bit of money they have to make Roblox Clothing, or doing commissions for games. (In which a thin margin of players actually get oppotunities for, because it's almost always ONLY popular creators that get noticed for commissions.)
Robux is hard to earn, but more accessible, simply because of the way that creators are expanding ways for players to earn Robux from games- or because of commissioners who manage to get them Robux for their work. There are more outlets to get said Robux than simply paying with a card, and that is all their is to it.
That is why I believe Royale High CHOSE the Robux Route. (2/?)
The Goddess of Triumph set is GORGEOUS and I so wish I could buy it. However, I won't even be considering asking my mom for the robux to buy it. We simply can't afford it, I'd feel selfish asking her for that kind of money when she's already working a day job AND a night job just to afford our needs, so this really sucks for people in situations like mine.
I'd possibly buy a piece or two if it was actually affordable, but I've never even had over 1k robux in my life, so I won't be buying any of it. This would probably be more effective if it was cheaper so more people could buy it instead of just rich kids or influencers.
And this almost feels manipulative with the magical enchantress skirt. They know how badly many people wanted it. I know why they're doing it, but still.
Anyways, that concludes my rant. If I ever do get the set, it'll be through trading.
the whole set is so stupid it’s a desperate attempt of the game trying to get robux. i bet if somebody would look into it not a single dollar is going to any cancer organizations. of course the biggest YouTubers are the ones donating and buying the set multiple times. And the offer to give magical ent. is also stupid because nobody cared about that until it was a limited skirt. Until royale high comes out with an ACTUAL new set or the school the games going downhill.
Can we just talk about the massive amount of hate and bullying the people who got the set are getting??? I was in trading hub with the new set on and this girl came up to me and asked to offer even tho I had “outfit not for trade” I’m my title. And I said sorry no I’m not trading it and she called me a spoiled brat. Than she said I’m a rich snob who only cares about myself even tho that’s not true. She kept calling me mean and rude for not letting her offer. Someone please clear this up why people think they have the power to just bully random people like that. Like I didn’t get the set to get bullied I got the set because unfortunately my friend has cancer and I felt to need to help out a little. Yes mr friend did get the set for me but I bought the earring myself. I just can’t believe what I’m seeing…
People would do anything for the new set in the Hub. It's fucking annoying, and sometimes people do actually cherish the set.
(Posted with permission from my friend)
Her friend died of cancer around a year ago, and my friend got the skirt and bodice because of how pretty it was, and to remind her of her friend. Someone offers for the skirt, my friend declines because the skirt meant a lot to her, having a friend who's lost her life to cancer. Girl calls her a guilttripper, and declines the trade on her calling her rude. It's a shame so many guilttrippers lead to people not believing serious causes.
..first
Nice
Honestly this update has been an eye-opener for so many people and I can't help but feel glad. Like thank god so many people are FINALLY opening their eyes to EA- sorry RH's flaws. I'm convinced this update will be the downfall of royale high for real this time.
I believe some of you people don't understand. The creator of this new set has said this
"i've seen a lot of people complaining about the price of the got 🎗️set. i just want to make some things clear. #1 is that all the money you see in the shop is going straight towards charity, no funny business. the rh team is not pocketing any of this money. another question is why did i chose roblox for the charity; i chose roblox and i hope you all understand that this is isn't just a regular set release, it's a charity to help others who have suffered like i did. i know how hard cancer is ): its taken/affected so many of my family members lives and i just wanted to do something good. because i used to have cancer when i was 14-15 y.o, one of the things that helped me through recovery was playing royale high- and getting to collaborate with them is a dream come true love you all, i understand your frustration, just please dont send any of the team hate"
I think that while that point is valid, I'm pretty sure that it wasn't the creator of the set who made the price as high as it is. I think that either Barbie or a very big part of the team decided to make it as expensive as it is, all while saying that "It's for charity" when this is targeted towards CHILDREN. CHILDREN. It's messed up.
It’s so unbelievably messed up that they took away the diamonds at the school, which was basically the only way to actually get enough diamonds for the sets. If they don’t add it back I’m so done with this game, I feel like a cash cow at this point
I dont even know if this is possible, so please bear with me. but i might as well share it
I like the idea for the set, but the prices are ridiculous, and roblox still gets a % from this. Honestly would’ve preferred that they gave a link to the fundraiser instead, and it records how much you’ve donated. Until you reach a certain amount, they give you the set/set pieces. It could be until 100 bucks or lower. So that way roblox doesn’t get a %.
⚠️i dont actually know if in this way they’ll get an even shorter % of the money, but it’s just a thought 🤷♀️
It’s a good idea but the execution is horrid 8.5k robux is almost 100 USD that’s literally insane for virtual clothing!!
And its even worse when you realize roblox takes away some if not the majority of the earnings and even if 1m is raised the charity is not going to get 1m
Atleast they are giving money to the charity so some good came from it
I’m tempted to just call the set mid and call it a day fr. People selling the set for millions of diamonds “because it’s rare” it’s only rare because most people don’t have to privilege to get a job at McDonald’s to get the set. But even if they did who would. I legit saw people saying that 1k diamonds is 1 robux….fr? We’re downplaying robux value now?? Also let’s realize that this is a kids game you’re playing. Making the set cost even 1M is ridiculous in every way shape or form. Just make the set 400-500k diamonds and dip it’s not that serious 😭
Ive made calculations.
10k people have to pay 8.5k robux.
(10 000 people pay 8 500 robux)
They want a million dollars.
So, 10k times 8.5k is 85 MILLION ROBUX.
85 000 000 times 75% is 63 000 000 (63 million.)
YOU COULD BUY MILLIONS OF LIMITEDS, OR EVEN BUY ROBLOX GAMES.
Please, go donate directly. This isnt worth it honestly.
Can someone please tell me what the new corset is worth? I’m trying to trade it. I keep seeing it go for halos, or 400k- 1m diamonds (which I think is crazy) I just wanna know what on average people are trading for it.
