After a long hard and often grueling journey, We Team Redemption would like to officially announce our plans for the future and give you a little information about our past. In the days to come we realize that a standard run of the mill server is not going to cut it with today's demands.
We have made this our primary goal in creating not only the most user friendly and advanced server but a repack for the those who want to put the power in their hands. While we won't claim that this is for everyone and that anyone with a mouse and keyboard will be able to do this. But our goal is to make it as easy for all as it possibly can be.
Team Redemption also wishes to thank the hordes of patient and understanding, kind and loving players that we do have. You guys are absolutely the best and have hung with us through thick and thin. We can't wait to see where we end up perhaps a year from now.
Now we are moving out of the earlier phases of testing and Development and really broad tuning the power of the Redemption Repack with precision and grace. To ensure security, stability, functionality and performance we will take every step warranted to do so.
Below you can find a milestone tree of everything since the very original version of Redemption v0.01 or the Pre-Alpha. At the end of that list is what we have planned for the next release of Rappelz Redemption. Hope you guys are anxious and can't wait to see you on the otherside of Redemptions gates...if you're man enough.

Disclaimer: Any expected features for v1.10 are completely subject to debate at this point in time and may not reflect the end result of what is released in v1.10
I have decided that I will be releasing v1.10 to the public but ONLY! on the Redemption Forums, which I will not be providing a link to. (Tatsuya knows why) You will also be able to find this milestone tree on my forums again no link (Thank Tatsuya again) so if you are unable to find the download again (Thank Tatsuya)
-- v1.10 is not a sole effort by iSmokeDrow and is in-fact a collaboration of several skilled Developers who put their sweat and precious time into making it. Which is the whole reason is will not be released here, google is your friend and all you need to find my forums is my servers name. Cheers.
