Current Status and Future of DeviousPs

The original post can be found here.

Welcome DeviousPs Players,

You most likely do not know who I am, but you will get to know me very well during your stay here. My name is Thomas and I will be one of the new owners of this server. My position will be to manage the forums, in-game, staff, social media and marketing (we also have a treasurer and developer who will introduce themselves another day). Now, lets talk about more important subjects regarding DeviousPs...

First, when are we opening? DeviousPs will be opening soon (Approx 3 weeks minimum, no promises). We currently have multiple (staff) members who are helping us debug the server. We've already had a 3 month period of debugging, so the server is almost 100% clean of bugs.

Second, what will be different? First, I have a strong believe that staff members are not needed on servers. Other games I have been staff on RELIED on staff being online for it to run smooth. This mainly happened due to "uncontrollable rules" which moderators would have to fix causing more trouble than fixing. The staff members I have in mind at the moment are very mature and unprofessionalism will not be tolerated. It is time that RSPS starts being treated like a company and not a playground.

Additionally, Glis (our developer and co-owner) has been working on a new database system which is extremely powerful. With this system in place, logging can take place flawlessly, meaning that if there is ever a problem regarding your account, we can see everything step by step, second by second.

Last, we will be introduce a new system to the RSPS community. "Play and get paid", more about that in a later thread.

Third, What will happen to my forum/ingame account? There will be a complete reset. All of your account will be wiped, stat wise and bank wise. The reasoning behind this is because:


 * We are changing the currency/economy and how much certain items cost.
 * We are changing XP rates
 * A new server, a fresh start.

I have completely wiped the forums from posts. You will still have access to your accounts. Keep them close to you, as we will be adding an "adventurer log" to the forums! More about that in a later post.

fourth, But wait, I was a donator? Donators will be refunded their points in Donator Points. We are aware that during the launch there was some sort of double donator point system. We have not come to a conclusion if we will refund you the 2x or not. Either way, you will get a compensation from us.

I trust to have given you enough information about DeviousPs and I am looking forward to welcoming you in the next couple of weeks.

Kind regards,

The DeviousPs Staff Team

Thomas Glis
