Squishy

I'd like to see this added at a later date if this idea gets implemented. Would have to see the activity and how much it would increase. Because if there's still only 10-15 semi-active players on the forums, it'd be best to only do like 2 special prizes. However, if there's 25+ then you could absolutely do a top 3 reward system. Rewards would obviously have to be monitored.

Just an FYI that I've created threads similar to this in the past (years ago), but this is by far the most detailed I've looked into this. I would've posted this in the Discord forums suggestion, but I wanted to expand more then I'd be able to share there. Please take your time to read and respond to this accordingly. Thank you! @Vaider please leave this open for a little, just so we can discuss and debate the topic. Would love to discuss this with you as well on a personal level if interested. Content Title - Forums Shop How does it work? - I wouldn't be able to give exact numbers, that's not for me to figure out, but I can however give a general example of how it would work. There'd be a couple different categories tagged alongside the reward system. Amount of posts, amount of reputation received, and amount of status updates. Just using loose numbers I'd say something like this: 5 posts = 2 points 3 status updates = 1 point 2 reputation = 1 point For every x task that you hit, you'd be able to collect that many points. This would allow for players to make money while being on the forums. Could also add in specific milestones such as: 50 posts = 5 additional points 10 status updates = 3 additional points 20 reputation = 12 additional points For every milestone that you hit, it'd be like a task completed in slayer. Completing consecutive milestones in a month would give additional points, perhaps just an additional point per milestone. Here's an example of misc. stats for how it'd work. Player A: 125 posts, 7 status updates, 37 reputation. Player B: 65 posts, 3 status updates, 15 reputation. Player A's points received: Post count - 61 Status updates - 2 Reputation - 30 Total points - 93 Player B's points received: Post count - 31 Status update - 1 Reputation - 7 Total points - 39 These stats are honestly completely unrealistic due to the current inactivity of the forums. I'd estimate a semi-active player to receive an average of 20 points a month. If I were to use a realistic stats base, here's what they'd look like. I based this off of @Sinzzu's activity over the month of June. Sinzzu is absolutely in the top 5 most active players on the forums, if not, the most active. Sinzzu - 38 posts, 5 status updates, 7 reputation. Sinzzu's points received: Post count - 14 Status updates - 1 Reputation - 3 Total points - 18 So personally, if one of the most active players on the forums would only be able to earn around 20 points a month, I feel as if it would be very balanced. Rewards - I would love to see the rewards cycle monthly, but always include a base layer of rewards that are always in the shop. Very similar to how the discount portion of the donation store works. I would like to see the items that are 100% of the time in the shop be something like this Extreme Donator Ticket - 5 points Box of Dreams - 20 points Perfect Enchantment Stone - 15 points 1 Day Elo card - 15 points Potion of Aggression - 10 points Donator Tab - 10 points Double Slayer Points Potion - 5 points Double Slayer Exp Potion - 5 points Adding in monthly rewards would be amazing as well. Giving players a chance to get an item that they may not be able to get otherwise would be nice. I'd like to see only one, maybe two "special" items in the forums shop. Not limited to, but just a base suggestion. Ownerscape Descimator 9000 Descimator 9000 Offhand Box of Treasures 2k21 Box $50 Custom Scroll Upgrade Protection Card Sponsor Ticket I wouldn't be able to even remotely give an estimate to what I think those should cost based off of the forum reward system. These items have and will always hold value within the redemption community, so I believe the staff should appropriately price them. Benefits - There is currently so much offered inside of the game that rewards players for doing specific tasks, for free. The discord events, the donation bosses, vote boss, and donation drop parties. It would be nice to see something of that sorts transferred over to the forums. This would increase the activity of the forums greatly. I know that Discord is taking over a huge portion of what the forums used to stand for, but I believe having such a massive piece of content go borderline completely unused is just sad. This could also be a way for new players to make some money as they're starting out, and a way for them to get known within the community. The community is very large currently, and I'm sure there's a ton of players that people have no idea play. It'd be a nice way for people to start recognizing names. Expansions - I'm not entirely sure what other expansions you'd be able to do with this other then adding other items to the shop, adding different multipliers, or other misc. updates to the formula. Negative effects - The obvious side of this would be people abusing the system. People that create alternate accounts and reputation spam their posts, or people who reply nonsense to threads. This is where our forums staff would need to step up and consistently monitor the forums to make sure that no one is abusing the system. This could also add an influx of items to the game faster then meant to, so maybe the prices that I listed would need to be increase. Or perhaps I listed them as to high, and they could need a decrease. This would all depend on the activity of the forums. As I stated in the beginning, please leave your thoughts, or any improvements, different items, and other things I may have missed. Kind regards, Squishy.

Glad to see this back. Congratulations to the nominees and goodluck!

You left right around when I was initially getting comfortable around here. Welcome back, good luck on getting the old account back.

Welcome back, I don't believe we've ever spoken, but look forward to talking to you! Also, Monthly Voting was a thing in early 2015, just was a revival in 2016

Gotta get the activity up

Suh dude, already spoke briefly in Discord. Welcome to the forums side

So like, unfuse the battle pet? Like have a chance to get two back from it? Not sure what you mean, would like to see you elaborate more on the suggestion.

Welcome to the server mans. Stay active on the forums, let's see this get active again

suh dude. Idk you, but welcome back.

Looks amazing, can't wait to invest time into Herblore and Farming. Awesome update guys, keep it up.

Welcome to Redemption mans. Pretty advanced private server, so be sure to use the wiki or ask questions in game. Have fun grinding mans.

Welcome back m8. Like Peripheral said, the wiki is super useful. I just came back as well and it helped me a ton in learning different gears and how to go about certain things. Use the Help clan chat as well for real time answers. Good luck mans.

Honestly seeing a new endgame cape be introduced would be cool. Some more detail would need to be introduced, but maybe a multi wave raid featuring notorious mob bosses and or king pins would be really cool. Already a ton of items in the game that could be used as the common drops. So it'd just be the high tier loot that needs to be created. Interesting suggestion, try to fine tune it some.

Recently came back from a 5 (technically 4) year break, the wiki was super useful in re-learning the game. Would highly recommend checking it out and using it for day to day activities. Biggest thing you need for Redemption is an aoe weapon, without one, you're not getting very far. Sitting in the Help clan chat is always useful as you can ask questions when needed. Good luck mate, and welcome.

Oi bruv, haven't talked to you, but welcome to the forums side of things.

Nice to see more OG's around. Welcome back m8.

suh dood. Welcome back m8.

Can't see any negatives for this, can make the media section very basic too. Just a tab for GFX and YouTube videos regarding Redemption. +1.

Oi, I'm back, sort-of. I'm an OG player, joined initially in 2014 under a different name, played primarily throughout 2015, and then again in 2017. I heard about the recent things happening to DS/Redemption and it got me curious, so I'm just an OG attempting to re-learn a very different game. Small info about me I love the forums, I post a lot Primarily play FPS games (Tarkov, Rust, etc.) I'm a very laid back person If you guys have any questions, or just wanna chat, feel free to message me. Oi to all the OG's I've seen still around, cause holy hell.

oof. suh dude
