From a small Discord server to a thriving community — the story so far.
2025
May
Formation of ROI
ROI was officially founded on May 15, 2025, marking the beginning of its full history.
June
First 100 Members
ROI reached 100 members on June 17, 2025. The official 100th member was @Fuffy.
Rise to Dominance
ROI's CBW server began dominating consistently due to its higher quality of roleplay and moderation, fuelling stronger server growth.
July
First Raids
Due to ROI's increasing size and dominance, it was hit by its first raiders on 7/25/2025, known as the Stategirls. This caused a massive shock and marked a significant change in direction as ROI was seriously threatened for the first time.
August
First Server Elections
With the server rapidly growing and leadership roles multiplying, the first elections were held for the president and vice president positions.
September
1st Obanner Dictatorship
Due to increasing issues in ROI's CBW server reflecting back onto the main server, a key moderator (Obanner) forcefully took control to reform the moderation staff. This was highly unpopular and caused significant unrest.
October
First Incendian Revolution
Rising discontent from Obanner's rule caused a major wave of protests across ROI. After almost 2 days, the situation calmed and paved the way towards Incendian Freedom.
November
ROI's Freedom
In the aftermath of the First Incendian Revolution, Obanner handed back control to the population. However, the leadership structure was left in ruins, leaving ROI's future in significant debate.
Internal Fracturing
The split leadership from the revolution slowly led to community fracturing. ROI began to collapse internally due to debates over recovering from Obanner, ongoing conflict with Ark, and decreasing growth rates.
December
The Withering
Community activity continued declining with fully incapacitated leadership. Relations with Ark became more dormant, but the CBW server also faced collapse with mod staff becoming inactive.
2026
January
The Stagnation Begins
ROI's member count reached 430–450 members — and stopped growing entirely. No new momentum, no growth. The Republic had plateaued.
February
Cracks Form
The stagnation began affecting leadership. Tensions with Ark and its owner Judcy escalated: spying accusations, demands for war that ROI refused. The Head of Moderation attempted a reform to hold the line.
March
The Ark Crisis
Ark's Judcy intensified pressure, wanting to prove ROI was reckless and uncareful. Head of Moderation King Augustus (kinglion0941) fought to hold the moderation together — with partial success.
April
Half Measures
The moderation plan fell short — new mods applied, but half failed trials. The Ark drama quieted down, though Judcy still claimed ROI had "surrendered" by refusing war.
May
The Reform — Ongoing 🔥
King Augustus (kinglion0941) was demoted and dismissed as Head of Moderation for rule-breaking. However, shortly after — following an agreement with the owner — he was reinstated to his position to help lead the reform effort. The old mod application system is being restored, and the owner is driving a massive moderation hiring push. Meanwhile, warzone512 (MTVcribs51) launches Reform Incendio. Whether it leads to triumph or collapse... only time will tell.
