"-removed the forbidden one" reminds be of when mojang put "-removed herobrine" in the patch notes, good times

[@Number_1_changed_addict]

THATS WHAT I SAID!

[@txaianapm8378]

same. It feels like the forbidden one is Herobrine's less successful sibling or something.

[@potatokingmama]

The easiest way to explain Rec Room lore is simply this: *Lore=$$$* I get it, at the end of the day it’s a free game that does actually need to make money. But all the lore just boils down to buying some exclusive limited cosmetic. I’ve never spent a cent on this game which goes to show when looking at my cosmetics, absolutely no lore. I couldn’t grind for it if I tried.

[@GridinoRR]

Agreed, they should hire someone to just make stories! Have a beginning , have an end. And wrap everything togheter instead of making stories everywhere that dont make sense.

[@SaadGamerTubeHD]

Ah yes! Togheter

I'm sad what they did to the forbiddon one, it started off as a semi ominous threat but just got turned into a goofy villain and stupid parkour, I mean like even if instead of pressing a button to release utini from a cage (how the hell does that work?) They could of made us press a button on his back to make it explode or somthing (I'm aware theres better events that could be made but I assume rec room wanted to keep parkour and button presses)

[@FinnIsSleepy]

Also there’s hidden messages in the tfo parkour

[@_ccvr_]

He's not Goofy if you really look into He's back story He's story has to do with sickness like cancer, death and ptsd

[@Dolphin002]

Era 1: We thought about the lore and tried our best to make it good Era 2: Let’s try adding some actual lore in, it’s not that good but it works and we tried our best Era 3: We hired a 6-year-old for 50 cents/hour to make new lore just so we get more money lol

[@Kosh60262]

The problem is the cosmetics, it's obvious that rec room just wants to make money off of these cosmetics. They attach lore and a crazy token price and people will be like oh that's a rare cosmetic! So they buy it.

[@Sk0l]

Was a nice surprise to find myself in here LOL, thanks for the mentions! 🤗

This is a well though out and broken down discussion on Rec Room's "lore". Any item related to the "lore" was either locked behind a rediculous paywall or by completing an RRO with S rank. We know nothing about S, nore anything about the Teller. We were told to "get our ciphers ready" and haven't really seen anything come from that. The first Invasion event was kinda cool and allowed you to get an exclusive set for free. However, the second event felt like it was just trying to sell you old rare items...

[@lsmar20]

I can agree, rec room was mostly about fun. But since they crammed lore & stuff. Its kind of dumb.

[@FinnIsSleepy]

Also I know this is just a bug but it could be lore so here: there is a second dimension in rec room called the TFLS (the forbidden land of sorrow) and it’s really rare but sometimes if you get bad wifi and crash to your dorm you will spawn in your dorm, but something feels off, you spawn outside of your dorm and the sky is pitch black, the mirror isn’t there so there’s a quick entry but when I went to grab my camera to take a picture, “you do not have permission to blah blah blah (whatever it said)” and neither could I get out my maker pen and after 10 seconds roughly audios started to overlap “you win””welcome to rec room””up and over”! And at that point I noped the hell out of there but I haven’t seen it again but as I left the game I noticed through the window, there was something in the darkness

[@Superspeeder_]

This video literally sums up almost all of my thoughts on this lore situation. Like, this game has been out for almost 7 years now. And they after 4 years, chose then to make (new) lore, and (as you mentioned) there was already some to begin with(which I never payed too much attention to). I never really got too invested in the lore just because I never really thought Rec Room would be a type of game to have deep “Fortnite-like”(as I like to call it) lore. And then back to what you also said: If the game just did all those said things for their next era of lore, that would be awesome! And I too would love to see something like that, even if I haven’t been too invested in RR lore to begin with! It’s also nice to see I’m not the only one who has these thoughts on the lore, including everyone else in the comments. 👍🏻

[@itzkvrt]

that 2.6 million tokens sitting there in the background makes me wanna die

[@JonsTheWizard]

Wait, so if the Forbidden One and Coach are connected and "one cannot exist without the other", does that mean that coach is just like dead now? Assuming that a little bit of parkour ended the whole thing and they won't bring him back later or something... I don't know, I'm just glad I'm not the only one upset about this. Phase one was just the right amount of context to the game, could explain it in a well thought out way, and then they whiffed the Forbidden One, and now... it's just an obvious cashgrab. I guess it's just another aspect of their early RROs that they threw out the window... 😕

[@creativejamie]

rec room moderation is a confusing mess and it makes me sad

[@pervasivehedgehog4337]

I'm calling it right now, Rec Room just wants Game Theory's attention so they can get more popular

i love that bvr is speaking out against the bad things in recroom, we needed a big youtuber to help with this

[@human3950]

Rec Room is just forgetting that the entire game takes place in a college campus.

[@emraldxd6797]

Seeing as though The forsaken one bubbly is the Wild West and the forbidden one bubbly is the future, it may be safe to say that Forsaken is Forbidden’s predecessor. But the bubbly was released as showdown became a rec room original, so he may be tied to that. 10:55

[@foxfaxion]

The forsaken one is probably the bugged shadow figure who felt like rec room missed the whole point of being a bug not a physical thing in rec room making him forsaken

[@Yoss14]

I do have something now I’ve listen to a bunch of games lore Right so I know how people do lore my theory is that they’re throwing all the stuff at to us with intention to confuse us that’s what they want but then they are going to make something big like an event or a quest that will somehow answer most of are questions or some, and keep going with the 4th era or it could be a boss battle ending the 4th era that’s just my theory.

[@Bruh_Bot]

I think to make everything better, let’s just have the forbidden one kill all the other characters in a “actually cool boss fight” and then we’re just left with the good old og.

[@smorfmello6305]

BVR lore: BVR will be really sad if you do not use code BVRR!

The forbidden one is the pure raw definition of "its not a bug, Its a feature."

[@Tijgermoreels]

Maybe S and H are LITERALLY part of Shadow Inc, bc (S)(H)adow inc. So then there would also be people called: A, D, O, W and maybe I, N and C.

[@AsaIGuess]

I’m just praying that somehow in someway they tie everything all together. I don’t know how but I pray it does

[@Topoatovr]

I just made this theory that if the forbidden one is related to coach it also says “one cannot exist without the other” basically meaning either coach is dead because the forbidden one is dead or coach is alive because the forbidden ones alive

[@coolcrazyguyer]

This is what I think the new lore is the teller is someone who says on everything and he knows what's going on always and S is someone trying to take over recroom and he starts by making small gateways in the roomiverse and forsaken is someone who helps coach by sending her information and building recroom originals

[@Vr_man687]

Honestly, I like how with the teller it encourages you to go through a bunch of stuff for lore, letting you do stuff, and yes, for 10$, you broke?

[@urostapalaga]

11:49 ok I'm gonna go make up my own story

[@Plipster]

“Casually has 4 million tokens”

[@BLUEDUDE25]

heres a suggestion about the forsaken one, maybe he was a staff member, and coach just abandoned him or stopped working with him. maybe the forsaken one is the forbidden one's cousin?

[@sample_text9276]

I can't believe they had a Herobrine with the Forbidden One and messed it up that badly.

[@Mr.Crabapples]

Rec Room is starting to feel more and more "corporate" and its genuinely pretty sad, all these insane purchases, this dumb fan service lore, and all the other stupid decisions that rec room has made, and all thier neglegence when it comes to moderating.

[@mjv2011]

i feel like the lore should’ve been like some student putting cryptic papers in places and then guess what there would be some student causing mayhem in the college doing shit he’s not supposed to like messing with backstage and shit like that that would’ve actually made sense

[@Spacebug111]

"you play Rec room, right?" My parents: *No*

[@internetexplorer9898]

Would be better if they make games about it like rooms that tells us their stories. You get an item there and go to the next one and idk... at least you have somewhere to start

[@ThunderChipz]

oh no my lore that is becoming really complicated and and overlaps to make it super confusing senses are tingling (thanks fnaf and kingdom hearts)

[@dogenotfound6894]

Rec room does NOT need lore

[@MrKey6682]

When rec room first made the makerpen, I created a company called sh4dow inc. which sold strange and possibly illegal things

[@TheOnionPickle]

Idea: S’s motivation is just to make money by hacking stuff back into the game and all the money just goes to S

[@nooblezyt]

I though I read somewhere that someone higher up said that RecRoom wasn’t a college/school

[@nooblezyt]

Update, under Wrighteous’s Iceberg video, Star Centurion commented that it’s not a school, just a recreational center 😅

[@areosstuff]

This video is too true 💀

[@MeepsScience]

the lore is an excuse to resell old items and overprice other things

[@hydrogtag]

I strongly believe the forsaken one is the forbidden one's brother. I think this because their names both start with the letter "f" and sound alike. They both also wear a bucket on their head.

[@mythicalmoonhair]

I am with you Billehbawb.... what the heck, If they need help to write some backstory they should just ask....

[@reveroFremaG]

i like the era one lore alot, its short but sweet. it makes sense and really suits rec room in my opinion. era one will now forever stay my headcanon

[@Swiggy.S]

Also how both bubbly items were said to leave after rec con but came back during invasion event

[@NatalieNatNat3]

I knew already Rec room is technically college, but I never knew what the forbidden one was so thanks

[@Ernieking70]

The forsaking won is just a brand in rec room profile

[@ProbablyExo]

I Like To Think That The Title Screen Is The Void Below The Maps, The Soulless Bottom Of A World. And The Forbidden One Was Banished To The Void And Found The Title Screens After He Glitched Through The Bottom Of The Void.

[@KalebTheDuck]

"the forbidden one" would have been a cool lore story thing about rec room, if they did it correctly... the thought of something having been watching you from the start of the game, watching you do your activities while you're oblivious to it, possibly taking notes about you to try and figure out a way to take over rec room (they could have even made a part of the lore where it DOES take over rec room) the thought of it being a rouge glitch is also scary, cementing the fact that everything is fake, and not real (cause i think it's kind of implied that we're supposed to be teens in a college dorm, everything is supposed to be "real life") . they really messed up with this, it could have been a cool character.

[@spike282]

The forbidden one is Herobrine but is now a capitalist

[@DAGreen43]

i think the forsaken one is just a bubbly to go along with the forbiddon one bubbly with the purple and orange like the default paintball pistol skins

[@R1SKVR]

I feel like they're just gonna peace the lorde together eventually later

[@Memerroni]

The Forbiddon one is like Herobrine if Minecraft actually added him

[@JubulusPrime]

I'm guessing Rec Room is trying to be all cryptic with all the enemies being mysterious gods so that 2 year olds would steal there parents credit cards in hopes of being the first one to discover something I hope that The Forbidden one, S and the teller will both be in shadow inc or whatever it was called and they have actual boss fights or something for an event, I did like the vibe of when The forbidden one claimed the hero cave atleast, maybe we will have a whole bad guy syndicate where there are "missions" (like short quests but it does not take place in a school play and the rules of the game are diffrent to the quests) and once you do all of them you get to fight the boss (Fragment of the forbidden one), once you defeat the boss you get an item, when the event is over there will be a youtube video from Rec Room talking about how the forbidden one is finally defeated by the brave heros or something I don't want any "Buy S's Sword Skin to beat the boss in one hit" or "Teller's Top hat to unlock a secret room" Just actual clothes based on the event so you can get a souvenir and not be a sucker buying overpriced "lore" items Just some simple less scummy events to beat ahadow ink and be done with it, returning to the ol school plays and coach speculation

[@ushanka.editzz]

"H" works for Shadow inc. and maybe "S" does too because, "S" "H" adow inc.

Yo that’s not bad actually

watching companies try and harness the fun of args and gaming urban legends but failing miserably is always funny but also really sad because it shows how out of touch companies are with their communities

[@HydrogenBaII]

Dude the science department is a huge letdown. Like imagine an event in which the science department discovers a virus that corrupts rooms, and every single quest can be turned into an extremely hard version of that said quest, (because of the room corruption virus) and as a reward you get special clothes for beating it. And maybe some player-made rooms get augmented versions just like the rro quests.

[@space-stronautjacks]

I think the forsaken one isn’t actually a character he’s just supposed to be another flavor of the forbidden one bubbly
