If you have attempted this boss, you know this is no walk in the park.
When did you join Redemption?
About three weeks ago.
How did you find out about Redemption?
Through Sohan`s YouTube channel.
Tell the community a little bit about yourself.
I have a medical condition, that basically makes me a "stay at home neet", I spend all day playing videogames, and for the last three weeks I have Been exclusively playing Redemption and enjoying it.
How do you feel about the current state of Redemption? Possible Pros & Cons?
Obviously I haven't burned out yet, after having been playing all day for nearly three weeks straight so I do think highly of the server. However if I had to give feedback/suggestion based off of my playstyle, skilling exp rates are a bit slow and sometimes comparable to OSRS. I would suggest that there needs to be a general community poll about certain xp rates, which would be based on feedback to decide which ones are the most tedious and not actively being used by the community.
What are your general thoughts about events?
I think the events are great. I am very competitive by nature so having an outlet that allows me to directly compete against other players is very exciting. As such I attend nearly every single event. I genuinely have a great time at the events and interacting with the whole event community is exciting, and extremely entertaining. I wake up in the morning to attend the earliest event, and go to bed nearly right after the last event. I particularly love the fact that there are so many daily events. The experience and frequency of Redemptions events are worlds apart from events on any other server.
What do you think about event staff / event helpers?
I think all of the event staff do a great job with handling the events and everything that they entail. They all take the roasting and jokes from the community extremely well and dish the fun right back out. I give them a hard time at every event and vice versa, and the fun doesn't end. They all seem to enjoy the events themselves and genuinely seem to care about the community. Roasts aside, I genuinely have nothing truly bad to say about them.
What would be your dream job?
My dream job would probably have to be some work from home video game related job. Something that would allow me to earn while having fun. As cliche as it is, gaming is my escape, so to be able to escape and work simultaneously would actually be a dream.
What's your favorite activity besides Redemption?
My favorite activity outside of Redemption is Magic the Gathering. I'm sure a good deal of y'all know what that is, but for those who don't, it's a strategy trading card game that was released in the early 90's and has been going strong ever since. I love going to my local card shop, participating in tournaments there, and interacting with peers who had the same hobby. With current world events I haven't been able to go to this shop for well over a year now, so finding something like Redemption that I enjoy so much is actually a blessing.
Do you have pets?
I personally have two very beautiful and amazingly cute pets. One is a floofy white Japanese Spitz named Cleeko, and the other is a feisty and adequately named little domestic shorthaired cat named Jaguar. Now here are a few pictures to show off their cuteness. Look at them. LOOK!!! Can't look away now, can you?
When did you join Redemption?
I joined / re-joined back to Redemption like 3 months ago, however i did start in 2014.
How did you find out about Redemption?
I think I saw a video a little bit earlier before i started in 2014, I saw customs in an RSPS which I thought was very nifty.
Tell the community a little bit about yourself.
People know me as greg, the corn-salesman and the running joke is that I'm a "chalo" cause i was born in Mexico, but raised in the States.
How do you feel about the current state of Redemption? Possible Pros & Cons?
In my eyes the current state of Redemption is that it is getting better from what it used to be, but sometimes i feel like theres a "paywall" that people cannot get past, you can join the server pretty easily - you see exlusive items or exlusive Gb-islands advertised out but cant access it without paying.
What do you think about events?
I like to go to events even tho sometimes it takes time off, but getting the community together is what makes it worth the while.
What do you think about event staff/event helpers?
For event staff, they're doing the best they can with what they've got. event helpers should have more "power", like to assist the event staff more -> Discord wise give new players that are joining maybe event notification rank or something for people to join Discord more easily.
What would be your dream job?
As a young child I wanted to become an engineer in the computer field, but as I got older I saw that having a great teacher could help a troubled kid become successful and live their dream. So before dropping out of college my goal was to become a math teacher with youth studies so kids would have a person to talk to or reach out to if they were having issues.
Whats your favorite activity besides Redemption?
Currently really enjoying playing 2D games like Rotmg and considering it's summer time, spending time with people at lakes or hang-out spots.
Do you have pets?
Yeah I do have a pet sadly it’s currently living with my parents in California while I’m living in Missouri. Here’s an old picture I found of him, his name is Coffee and he has a funny underbite.

We're all helpful peeps ?

Always fun to see another fellow belgian player

Hello there...
Since it's been a while of me introducing myself, I was thinking - why not do it again?Who am I?
I am Hephaistos, also known as Iron Heph ingame.
I am currently 24 years old, have a girlfriend (yes, she's real), enjoy sports and life to the fullest.
Which ranks do I currently hold?
I have been a helper for over a month - Yes I haven't been active lately ingame, but there are certain problems at my job.
I work at a supermarket (Aldi) as an assistant-in-training. We used to work with 3 assistants and 'The Boss', but one assistant got a promotion.
Due to her hard work she managed to get ahold of her own shop, which means we're currently with only 2 assistants and 'The Boss'...
BUT... The boss himself is currently on a long vacation meaning the other assistant and myself have to run the full store for a few weeks (sometimes 12h shifts).
So hopefully we find somebody else to fill in the ''open spot'' soon ?
I am a Forum Moderator, meaning I overlook the forums... duh...
I constantly check the forums for new posts and possible bad posts. These last few days this activity has also decreased a bunch sadly...
But I'm hoping to improve on this. I am however not the kind of guy to post on every and single one post
I don't want the last comments to be from me
I've been a Wiki Editor for over a year now and boys and girls... It's so much fun, It has opened so many doors for me... I had/have a good bond with the staff team and owners in general, sometimes they asked me to do something in particular (Special Gbag Island Weapons / Custom Donations pricings/...)
I sure do enjoy making new pages (Battlegrounds/Lachrym/COX/...) and editing existing pages (Beginners Guide/Getting Started/...) for them to become more clear and improved. Ofcourse Our Wiki Team helps out a bunch if not the most aswell !
The Wiki wouldn't be as amazing without the manager... @peripheral, whenever you have questions, he finds a solution...
Him not having the solution? Well, let's just say he'll find one (throwback to tabber in tabber).
The News Team... I am currently the News Team Manager, if you don't know what the News Team is, shame on you !
I am sure most of you have had the privilege of reading the Redemptions Delight (last one is below)
I cannot tell you howmuch time and exhaustment goes into this, every month is a new month and new problems I have to face... Currently I am alone for the whole page, because somebody decided to turn rogue (If you're reading this, ?)
Then Poonslayer resigned ? so It's a one-man army atm... But if you're feeling in the mood for lots of typing, by all means... APPLY !
https://redemptionrsps.com/forum/index.php?/forum/68-other-applications/
That's about it for now, if there's anything else you'd like to know, let me know
I can always edit it in, or add another post below... Peace
-
Hey there Zelox !
Thanks for the suggestion
I do would like to say that we have the damage test dummies at ::train - You can see your maxhit there already.
However, if you're referring to "testing" other gear that you would like to grind for, that's another thing ofcourse. -
//Accepted & Locked//
-
Hey there man, we have a very useful starter guide over here
If you'd still have some questions, don't hesitate to ask around
-
Glad to hear you think of it that way
If you ever feel stuck, or don't know what to do, feel free to PM me ingame/discord/forums
Otherwise can always ask in Help CC or discord in general ofcourse ?
See you soon, Heph

Our first interview is with our current #1 Donator ! @T M R
You are currently the TOP Donator on Redemption ! How did it come this far?
If anyone loves something, they have their own way to show it or to express it. Redemption is more than an RSPS. It's like a family to me.
What has been the biggest change in the game from your perspective?+ Was it a good change?
Honestly I cannot emphasize on the turn Redemption took after "releasing the shackle". Yes there could be things that someone would argue that it's not for the "good" of the server, but at the same time without boundaries things would go out of control.
Do you believe the ranking system is up-to-date or should there be a revamp on that? (Sufficient bonuses from reg -> plat player)
There is an increase in all ranks, from non-Donator to Platinum players. It's difficult to say and I don't know how to add to this point
Is there much room for improvements? Explain
There is always room for improvement. Depending on the situation, it will tell you the quantity and the quality needed.
Away from the RSPS Scenery....
What do you do for a living?+ Do you enjoy it?
I'm in the navy and own a coffee shop. It provides and I do try and enjoy it.
Is there a dream job that you'd like to be doing, if you'd have to switch careers?
I would love to be an Anchorman on National TV. If only...
What is your current dream car/bike and why?
RR Cullinan, no Reason to explain luxury and legacy
If there is 1 situation in your life that you could do over, with the knowledge you have currently... Which one would it be and for what reason?
Take time to judge serious incidents and not be rash whilst taking action.Some incidents require fast decision making, while others require patience and listening to the problem and look at the problem from different point of views.
Our 2nd interview is with @hc taro
How did you find out about Redemption, what prompted you to stay?
I actually played pre-Redemption almost 2 years ago. I was introduced via an OSRS friend of mine. Unfortunately he left but I stuck around. Redemption/DS being my first ever custom server I was surprised to find out how many things there were to do and how unique the server was.
What made you want to become a part of the Platinum Partnership?
Platinum Partnership was always something that I eventually wanted to get over the years. As invested as I was playing the server, I figured, "Why the hell not". Plus the benefits of Platinum was too good for me to pass up.
Are you planning on making any customs, if so what?
I've only recently started to make customs and for sure I definitely think it's worth it to go for if you like the server as much as I do. As I just finished my mainhand, I want to work on my off-hand, main-hand cosmetic, and then potentially an armor set in the near future.
Who is your favorite staff member and why?
I've only come back to Redemption for the re-release and felt a little lost when I came back. Thankfully, the new Helper Act I, was there whenever I had some questions to ask. So I would say Act I is my favorite staff member. If he wasn't, Willy is pretty cool I guess.
What is your favorite drink and why?
My favorite drink is bubble tea, like my name hints LMAO. But if I would have to choose a flavor it would be Taro.
If you could go anywhere right now for a vacation, what would it be and why?
I've always wanted to go to Japan for the longest time. I've had a couple friends go there over the years and I've heard nothing but good things. The people, nightlife, and just the whole vibe of the country seems fun to experience.
What is your favorite thing to eat for dinner and what's so good about it?
My favorite go to dinner, I would have to say would be some nice rice, beans, and some spiced chicken. As simple as it may sound, I can never seem to get tired of it.
What's your favorite activity other than Redemption?
My favorite activity other than Redemption would have to be trading. I've only recently picked up this hobby about 2 years ago and I love the thrill of trading/investing. I've been studying a lot on the side and I am hoping just one day I can transition into day trading as a full time job.
Our 3rd interview will be with @Inkay
How did you find out about Redemption, what prompted you to stay?
I am a very old player started mid 2016. Always been a fan of custom servers. Custom contents on redemption is not found in any other server which makes it very unique.
What made you want to become a part of the Platinum Partnership?
Always wanted to be a platinum. But because of work and RL activities cause me to not have as much time to spend on games but now due to COVID-19 I have a lot more time at home now.
Are you planning on making any customs, if so what?
I already made a custom. My descimator is called Inkay’s Inkblaster. Think I’m going to get more but not before I beef up my current one.
Who is your favorite staff member and why?
My favorite staff would have to be peripheral aka who I always called him perpi. We go way back and we always stayed in contact and just a cool and chill guy all around. Always helping me out with question and knowledge in or out of redemption.
What is your favorite drink and why?
2016 caymus. It’s just overall one of a few red wine that’s great for all occasions.
If you could go anywhere right now for a vacation, what would it be and why?
I think I would Las Vegas. Because I do go two or three times a year and always have a blast there. Pool parties there is no words can explain.
What is your favorite thing to eat for dinner and what's so good about it?
I’m not too picky haha don’t really have like a favorite thing to eat. Only thing I wouldn’t eat is mushrooms and anything raw.
What's your favorite activity other than Redemption?
I like to go out and just hang with some friends sip and chill.
and lastly ! our 4th interview @1 Inch Long
How did you find out about Redemption, what prompted you to stay?
I honestly couldn't tell you I joined back in 2015 for a short while but later drifted towards to osrs and what not but recently found myself back here couple weeks back if I had to guess, main reason for me staying this time is probably my strong relationship with Ktrips I've built over the past year and some.
What made you want to become a part of the Platinum Partnership?
I have a couple current goals but as of right now it's just grinding out the weekly boss to make money to eventually finish off the owner cape grind and one day be a big boy like my pals Ktrips and Act I.
Are you planning on making any customs, if so what?
It's always ones goal to make their own custom item but I'm not currently in the place to do so but if I was I'd probably just go with something based off the DESCIMATOR9000 and just play around with colors until I find something I like.
Who is your favorite staff member and why?
I couldn't just pick one favorite staff member as everyone has their part to play in keeping the boat going but if I had to pick it would have to be Ktrips with Act not to far behind. They both have helped me loads in making my time at Redemption the best it can be.
What is your favorite drink and why?
I'd have to go with Pepsi, no matter what kind of day it is or how I'm feeling pepsi is just amazing.
If you could go anywhere right now for a vacation, what would it be and why?
Never really put much thought into this as I'd rather just stay home but if if I had to pick one spot it'd be on that little Island my boy Ktrips on.
What is your favorite thing to eat for dinner and what's so good about it?
Pizza, nothing wrong about pizza unless you put pineapples on it.
What's your favorite activity other than Redemption?
My favorite activity if you can call it that would be spending time with my daughter, nothing else can compare to it.
Is Limes in love with Brittney???
Welcome back to another episode of The Fortunates, I will be posting this section every 2 months.
You might ask why... The answer is simple
It takes a lot of time to get all these screenshots cropped and put out here ?

Heya, as Squishy said... it's been refused a few times to get an actual seperate section... But something we could do however is making a guide thread, where all useful links are mentioned. Such as CJ made a year or so ago...
Could that be a good solution perhaps?
