Welcome to the frontier

Stepping into RedM is more than just launching a game; it’s about stepping into the boots of a character living in 1899. Whether you are looking to become a lawman, an outlaw, a doctor, or a simple business owner, the story is entirely up to you and the people you meet.

To help you find your footing, here is some essential advice for getting started on a roleplay server.

02 / 16 · The field guide

Getting Started Checklist

Read the Server Rules: Every server (county) has its own constitution. Before you connect, make sure you read our rules regarding "Metagaming" (using outside info in-game), "Powergaming" (forcing actions on others), and combat. Knowing the boundaries is the first step to being a good community member.

Configure Your Audio: Roleplay relies heavily on voice communication. Make sure your microphone is set to the correct input in the RedM settings, and set up a "Push-to-Talk" keybind to avoid hot-mic situations. Open Mic is discouraged, and players with consistently poor audio will have their access temporarily restricted until it is fixed.

Create a Character, Not a Stat Sheet: Your character should have flaws, fears, and a history. You don't need to win every fight or interaction. Often, the best stories come from losing, getting arrested, or making a mistake.

Respect the "Value of Life": In serious roleplay, your character should fear death. If someone points a gun at you, act as you would in real life—compliant and afraid. This realism keeps the tension high and the roleplay immersive.

Forget What You Know: If you are moving from server to server, or coming from Red Dead Online, remember that your character starts with nothing. You don't know the map, the locals, or the politics yet. Ask questions in-character (IC) to learn about the world rather than looking it up on Discord.

Do not use OOC terms: All players are expected to remain in character and time-specific. Repeatedly using modern terms and non-1899 language will get you removed from the server. The server is home to a number of streamers, and Redemption RP expects all streamers and the people around them to conduct themselves within the rules. This is a Role Play server first and foremost.

Streamers and Content Creators: You are expected to remain in character at all times, as you represent and promote the server. Please refrain from behaving in ways that don't lend themselves to good roleplay.

Interaction Tips

"Find Out In-Character": The golden rule of RedM. If you want to know where the Doctor's office is, or how to get a job, walk up to a local and ask. This creates roleplay opportunities instantly.

Do not share things Out of Character (OOC): As above, all information must be shared IC. Contacting another player via DMs to ask or forward information is against the rules

Use /me Commands: If the game mechanics don't allow you to do something visually (like “wipes sweat from brow” or “examines the wound”), type it out using the /me command to paint a picture for those around you.

Use /do Commands: While /me describes an action your character is taking, /do describes the reality of the situation. It allows other players to understand what they see, hear, smell, or feel when interacting with you or the environment.

Be patient: RedM is slower than, say, 5M. Here, characters’ stories are developed over time. So taking things slowly can often lead to more meaningful stories and interactions.

04 / 16 · The field guide

Create your character

Redemption RP uses the best character creation script for RedM, created by Murphy's Workshop. Due to its comprehensive makeup, here are some tips and tricks for creating your first character:

Avoid Prebuilt "PEDs": Never select the Prebuilt Character or PED options. These models cannot be customised later, and you will almost certainly have to delete the character and start over.

Focus on the Physical: Spend your time perfecting facial features, skin type, and body shape. These are the core of your identity.

Body Type Warning: Avoid extreme body proportions. Unusual shapes often cause clothing textures to break or fit poorly.

Adjust Your Height: The default height for male characters is quite short. Increase the height slider slightly for a more standard look.

Don't Stress the Clothes: Ignore minor issues like "clipping" (clothes phasing through skin) in the creator; these are easily fixed once you are in-game.

Finding Base Layers: If you are struggling to find clothes that fit, some clothing options are split into 2 choices: MP/NPC. Selecting MP lets you choose base-game clothing that shouldn't clip. NPC clothing is clothing worn by NPCs and has a higher chance of clipping.

When it comes to selecting clothing or fixing clipping issues in the county, please scroll to the section regarding Clothing and Barber

If you realise you have made a horrible mistake, delete the character and start again. Admin cannot change your character's features.

Known Bugs

Avoid using your mouse to move the sliders in the selection areas, as this will cause the creator to soft-lock. Instead, use the arrows

Hats, masks and some clothing, etc., will clip - this is a RedM issue, and you will need to find alternatives.

Your first hour

Congratulations, you have arrived! You likely just stepped off the train with empty pockets and a fresh start. Each player receives a starter pack with basic provisions and cash. Spend your money wisely.

Surviving your first hour in the county.

1. Check Your Vitals (Cores). Your character has needs. Watch your HUD (usually in the bottom-left corner).

Heart: Health.

Lightning Bolt: Stamina.

Food/Drink: Hunger and Thirst.

Brain: Stress level (as stress increases, the less you will be able to do. Stress is indicated by camera shake and will get worse as stress climbs)

Temperature: Heat and Cold will affect your character's stats

(If your HUD is missing, select F6, Hud-settings, Toggle hud)

Voice: Two bars is standard voice volume.

Use the F11 key to change your voice volume levels

One bar is a whisper

Three bars are loud

Four bars are extremely loud and best used when riding in a group.

Remember to keep your voice level at 2 bars unless you want people in the other state to hear all your secrets

Tip: If your cores turn red, you will start losing health or experience continued stumbling. Your first priority is finding food and water. Your screen will also start beating red.

User Information - located in the top right corner, shows your current funds in your pockets, the local time, and your player number. You can edit the information shown here in the HUD settings (F6)

Player TIP: What is the difference between Player/Server ID and Citizen ID?

A Player/Server ID appears in your information HUD. Other players need this ID to trade with you, and it changes each time your character enters the server.

A Citizen ID is a permanent ID assigned to your character at creation and used as your Telegram ID; it cannot be changed.

Player TIP: Avoid leaving yourself, your horse or wagons unattended for long periods of time.

This is an RP server, and going AFK does not exempt you from the rules or other players. Avoid carrying large sums of cash; avoid leaving things unattended, as you may be in for disappointment.

2. Familiarise Yourself with the Map (M Key) Familiarise yourself with the county. Look for these key icons:

Green Shops: These are player-owned stores (food outlets, trade shops, player-owned stables and horse supply, ranches, etc)

Red Shops indicate businesses currently for sale. Visiting the location will give you the business buy price; also see the Business Section of this Guide)

Grey Icons: Government stores. These include the General Store (for provisions).

Shirt Icon: Clothing Store (create outfits or fix outfits).

Scissors Icon: Barber for hair and makeup

Medical Icon: To seek local doctor assistance

Wash Icon: Bathhouse located in a Saloon. (not to be confused with river wash points for mining)

Bank Icon: Open during daylight hours. If the icon is red, the bank is closed

Telegram Station: Open 24/7

Stable: Purchase base horses and a variety of wagons/carts. The best horses are purchased from stable owners

Bulletin Board: Players pin business posters and notifications to these boards.

Boat Icon: Each major port has a fast travel ferry. The other boat icons are NPCs that sell boats

Red Marker Icon: At the top-middle of your map; opens the Custom Blip Manager. Players can add their own blips to the map.

Plenty of other icons on the map are worth investigating. Use these to identify places to visit and find interesting jobs/tasks.

3. Visit a General Store: Head to the nearest General Store to buy provisions. Things you can purchase are:

Basic Food (NOTE: Player-run food stores will provide better, more fulfilling food and drink options)

Empty Canteen: These can be filled at water pumps in most towns

Tools for the job: Logging Axe, Logging Saw, Lantern, Crafting Book (required for any sort of crafting)

Other items, like a ranch book, a watering can, and an animal whistle, are related to those with the ranching/farming job

Accessing Inventory (known in the county as “pockets”) or using an item

To use items, press I to open your inventory, then either right-click to use the item or double-click on it

To use weapons like the bow and arrows, you need to equip them using the above. Use the centre scroll on the mouse to equip/unequip weapons, or you can add it to one of the 1-5 numbered slots and select that number to draw a weapon.

Confirm you have equipped a weapon, lasso, or lantern

To remove an item, simply open your inventory and double-click on the item

4. Talk to People! Don't just grind for money. The best way to learn the server is to introduce yourself. Move about and get a general feel for the server. Players can be anywhere and not always in the obvious places.

Try asking questions like

“I’m new to town. Where can a man get a drink?”

“I’m looking for work. Do you know who’s hiring?”

Locals will often give you better advice (and maybe even free supplies)

Player Tips to keep in mind

Pocket Size Restrictions - Your pockets have a weight and slot limit. You can't carry more than 85 kg, and you have a max of 40 slots. If you exceed the limit, you will not be able to carry or pick up items. There is a high chance that if you try to carry more, you will lose items to the universe.

Transferring items from pockets to storage - As per above, there are weight restrictions. Try to avoid transferring large quantities of items between pockets and storage (Carts, vaults, business storage, warehouse storage, motels, housing, etc.). The general rule is to transfer stack sizes of no more than 20 at a time.

Avoid flicking through catalogues too fast - this may result in a soft lock and relog to fix it

Enter amounts manually - Avoid the urge to highlight a number and enter a new amount, as this may result in a soft lock and relog to fix

I am hunting & my dead animals keep disappearing. This is a common RedM issue caused by too many players in your immediate area. Your animal carcasses disappear and are only visible to another player in the same area. There is no fix other than relocating.

My Stamina is empty. How do I get it back? The best advice is not to deplete your stamina core, as once it's gone, it's hard to replenish. You can purchase cigarettes and cigars from smoke shops or purchase certain foods from player-run stores.

How do I sit in a chair? Select the left F6, Emote-settings, Object Interact, and select the seating style. To cancel, go back to Object Interact and scroll down to cancel or select T and then enter /ec and wait

Help, I am stuck in a chair! If the above does not work, a quick relog will fix the issue

How do I fill my canteen at the pump? With a water canteen in your inventory, walk up to a pump, third-eye it, and select the prompt.

Now that you have survived your first hour, let’s look at some of the things available to you.

Campfires and Basic Crafting

Campfires for cooking and basic crafting are available in all townships and other places.

Walk up to a campfire to get the prompt

To be able to cook, you need to purchase a knife and have it equipped

Crafting

Ammo - Arrows

Hunting - Special bait for Legendary Hunters

Open a recipe to see the materials required before crafting.

Cooking

Campfire cooking covers basic survival food. Player-owned food stores offer more filling meals and drinks; open a recipe to see its ingredients.

Obtaining an Identity Card

Visit the Photo Booth in Blackwater

Access the camera and select Take Photo [G]

Use the keys to zoom into your character's face

Once you have zoomed in, use your PC’s clipping software to get a headshot and save it to your PC

Go to the Redemption Photo Bot channel in Discord and upload your screenshot. Open the Discord channel ↗

You will then be provided with a URL to your image

Exit out of the camera in-game and go back to the camera and select Print Photo

Enter the URL and select Preview if you wish to check the image

Select Print to create a copy, which is now in your inventory

Open your map (M Key) and locate the Identity Process located in most towns. Open during daytime hours only.

Follow the in-game prompt to continue the identity process.

Open your inventory and use the image

You may choose to enter additional information. Once done, select SUBMIT. You will now have an ID card in your pocket. Take care not to lose it, or someone might steal it.

To share your ID card with another player, double-click it in your inventory.

Opening Up a Bank Account

The Frontier can be a rough place at times, and you don’t want to be carrying cash around in your pockets all the time. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your money is secure. The bank also lets you buy a vault, giving you access to valuable storage space. A bank account is also required for employment in government roles like Medic or Law, as your wages are automatically deposited there.

To open a bank account, locate the bank icon in a town (Note: if the icon is red, then the bank is closed during night hours)

When you first open a bank account, you will need to accept the terms and pay a small fee

The account main page menu will show your total funds and options

Select TRANSACTIONS to bring up the menu to deposit, withdraw, transfer and view transaction history

NOTE: If you have just set up your bank account, exit out and go back in before you can deposit

Account Management has two main functions

By Vault space for access to storage (one time)

Register Society Job - this is important if you are employed in a role that pays wages automatically. You must be employed and on duty to set this up

Billing = Fines and Invoices will appear here for you to pay

Change Account = here you can set up joint accounts and access them

Accessing your Vault

Vault access will be at a different counter

The Vault has a limit of 500 kgs

Setting up a Telegram Account

Telegrams were the main source of communication between people on the frontier. Although telephone technology existed and was growing in major cities, remote frontier areas had no infrastructure in 1899. You will need a Telegram ID to communicate with people you meet.

Locate the telegram icon on your map (open 24/7) and open the Mailbox

Accept the terms and pay for your account

Open the mailbox again. Add other players’ Telegram IDs and names to your contacts list. Your own Telegram ID appears in the top-right corner.

When sending a telegram, you will need to select the recipient from your contacts list first

Add a title and message

Select a stamp at the bottom.

You can also elect to send the telegram anonymously by ticking the box (ideal for sending tips to the law)

Once done, you can then send the telegram

NOTE: Received telegrams will expire after a month.

Player TIP: If you are not sure what your Telegram ID is, the F6 menu brings up player information.

The Citizen ID is your Telegram ID

Bird System

You can purchase limited-use birds to send urgent telegrams. Birds have a limited lifespan and a cooldown on sending.

Use /callbird to summon your bird

Work & making money

Making money and jobs fall into two categories: Public Jobs (Civilian) and Government or Specialised Careers. The county offers many ways to earn money.

1. Public Jobs (The "Grind")

These jobs are open to everyone immediately. You do not need to apply or interview for them. They are the best way to earn starting capital for a horse, weapons, and food.

Mining: Head to the mines, break rocks, and sell the ore. Introduce yourself to a Blacksmith, purchase a pickaxe and lantern and ask where the best places to mine ore are. Simply have a pickaxe in your inventory. When approaching a live node, a ring will appear; move to it and select the prompt

TIP: Don’t throw out those rocks. Head to one of the many river washing locations and see if you can turn those rocks into something more valuable.

Gold Panning: The rivers aren’t just for fishing!

Lumberjack: Chop trees and process wood at various locations. You can sell the items to a carpenter and to other businesses.

Hunting: Hunt wildlife and sell the pelts and meat. Ideal for those who like to disappear into the countryside and hone their tracking skills. Many businesses purchase meat and other items; otherwise, you can sell them to a trapper or a butcher.

Fishing/Crayfishing: A nice, relaxed way to spend an hour or two. You can purchase a basic fishing rod and bait at the Tackle Store. Fish up additional items to boost your luck while fishing. You can upgrade rods at different XP levels, which improves your chances of catching fish.

TIP: When a fish is hooked, BE PATIENT and wait for the bobber to alert you that the fish is HOOKED; otherwise, you will fail.

To reel the fish in, fill the outer ring to 100% while keeping the solid green or yellow middle circle. If you linger too long in the red zone, the line will snap, and the fish will get away.

TIP: Crayfish require specific bait, a cover of darkness and some sneaky approach

Deliveries: Transport goods from town to town. A great way to learn the map and get paid to deliver items, but be wary, bandits are on the road and may wish to steal your cargo.

Herding: The stock yards in Valentine are buzzing with activity and are looking for additional cowboys to help herd various animals to new locations

Fruit Picking: A number of fruit plantations are available for civilians to pick from. Some are marked, and some are not. Sell fruit to food establishments or the government store located at the market in St Denis.

Specialised Missions

There are a variety of missions, with some being very basic and others requiring specific items and defensive skills

Herbalist: The herbalist's shops in Strawberry and St Denis offer missions to complete. Accept the mission, and a marker will be placed on your map. Go to the location and find the herb.

Hostile Delivery Missions - Located across the map, these are divided into two types: horse delivery and wagon delivery. In all of these missions, you will be required to defend yourself and your cargo.

Horse Delivery - These missions require you to own a better breed of horse than just a standard entry-level.

Wagon Delivery - Each mission requires a specific wagon. The tip here is to focus on obtaining one type of wagon and do that mission

Boat Delivery - Each delivery requires a specific boat. There is a range of well-priced boats to purchase from the Boat Shop

Horse Rescue - Go to the location and rescue the horse from horse thieves.

TIP: Make sure you keep your horse out at all time otherwise, the mission will fail. Once on the rescue horse, simply keep whistling (H) for your owned horse to follow you to the drop-off point. Don’t get too far ahead of your horse.

Legendary Hunting

Fancy yourself a bit more skilled than the average hunter? The Legendary Hunt is for those who enjoy a bit more of a challenge. These rare animals are only seen at certain times of day/night, and you will need to use special bait and traps.

Use your crafting book by a campfire to identify the ingredients needed to craft the various baits.

Visit the Legendary Hunter to find out more

Bounty Hunt

For those who want something more challenging, many outlaws need rounding up. Take care; they are called outlaws for a reason!

2. Government or Specialised Careers (The "RP" Jobs)

These are specialised roles that require a higher standard of roleplay. To apply, please see the application process via Redemption RP Discord and select the role you wish to apply for. Once we receive your application, a senior member of that team will contact you and arrange an interview.

Law Enforcement: Sheriffs, Deputies, and Marshals. You keep the peace and investigate crimes.

Medical: Doctors and Nurses. You heal players, perform surgeries, and manage the hospital.

Judiciary: Judges and Lawyers. You handle court cases and legal disputes.

3. Player-Owned Businesses (The social hubs)

A middle ground between Public and Government Jobs. These are businesses owned by other players—like Saloons, Gunsmiths, Ranchers, Horse Trainers, or Blacksmiths—who hire staff directly.

How to join: Walk into the business and ask to speak to the owner or manager!

Check the “Bulletin Board” in each Town for business advertisements and general notices. The poster will have a telegram ID.

Why choose this? It is the fastest way to make friends and get involved in the social scene without the pressure of being a lawman or doctor.

4. Illegal Activities

For those who like to dabble in a little petty crime, there are various things available to test your moral compass. Seek out the right people in the county to ask what these activities are and what you might need to get started. But be careful who you ask; you don’t want the law to get wind of it.

How do I apply and own my own Business?

All available businesses are marked on the map by a Red House . Simply walk into the shop, and a prompt with purchase information will appear. You raise the capital to purchase the business.

Businesses are available on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be reserved.

Businesses will be returned to the market if they are deemed abandoned.

You can also seek out a member of the Department of Commerce - their telegram contact details are obtainable in county

The player-specific wheel is accessed via F6 and provides plenty of information and actions specific to the character.

At any time in the character wheel, you can select the arrow in the centre to go back to the previous wheel

Fix Character - Does exactly what it says. If you find yourself loading in without a body part, missing clothes and accessories, use this option for a quick in-game reset.

Brawl Style: There are several brawl styles, each with its own special moves and visuals, that can be used when boxing another player. Test them all out to find what suits your style. But remember, the more physical the fight, the more defensive you are, the more your cores will drain, and some cores, like Stamina, once drained, may affect your fight.

Sell Drugs On/Off: For those dabbling in criminal activities, select this option when in a town.

Search Pockets: Used by Law and Criminals, this allows you to search the pockets of another player who has been hogtied or handcuffed. For criminals, please ensure you know the rules around stealing from another player first.

Clothing & barber

Clothing Menu F1 - allows you to remove or restore specific items of clothing. Here, you can also roll up your sleeves, put on boots over your pants, etc.

If your character’s clothes are clipping, you can also use F1 to correct the issues. Go to the ‘Skin’ tab and select either Upper or Lower body, and change the body type until you find a correct fit.

Clothing Stores

All the clothing that you create and purchase is stored at the clothing stores

Tips for creating a great outfit

Creating an outfit takes some patience. There is a huge variety of options which is a combination of base game clothing and NPC clothing. Your choice of body time will also affect the availability of some clothing and accessories, and how it looks on your character.

NPC clothing will likely clip, so keep that in mind. Some items, like the NPC version of bandannas, etc., will not go over beards. NPC clothing is also designed to fit a specific body type.

If you choose an item that clips, use the upper and body change options to get the best fit.

Where you see MP/NPC, base-game clothing is separated from NPC clothing. Choose MP to reduce the chance of clipping.

The variation 1 settings let you cycle through the styles, whilst the T1, T2 and T3 will modify colours

IMPORTANT NOTE: Avoid sliding the bar; use only the arrow keys. Sliding the bar may result in a soft lock, and a relog is the only solution.

Barber

Similar to the Clothing Store, you can design facial looks and save them. Have a special, clean look for formal occasions and the like.

Like clothing base options for Hair are separated from the NPC options.

The menu lets you create highly unique looks that suit your character's personality and journey.

Hair - cycle through different hairstyles unique to either male or female characters. With additional options like hair bonnets to match hats for females, and facial hair options for men.

Customisable Facial features - this is where you can really apply unique character features. Add scars, skin conditions, and even burns to match your role play.

Makeup - enhance your wonderful features even more

IMPORTANT NOTE: Avoid sliding the bar; use only the arrow keys. Sliding the bar may result in a soft lock, and a relog is the only solution.

Horses & bonding

The Horse System: Bonding & Care

In this server, your horse is designed to be a vital partner rather than just a vehicle. Every horse possesses unique attributes and "personality" traits that affect how it handles. To maximise your horse's potential, you must actively maintain your Bonding Level.

Maintenance: You are required to regularly brush, feed, and calm your horse. These actions generate "Bonding XP."

Consequences of Neglect: If you fail to care for your horse, your Bonding Level will degrade. A neglected horse becomes an unruly steed; it may refuse commands and is likely to buck you off during combat or predator attacks.

Acquisition: While you can purchase basic horses at a stable, the highest-tier mounts are obtained exclusively through Stable Owners.

Asset Value: Horses purchased from player-owned stables have higher stat caps and better training potential. A fully trained, maximum-bond horse is one of the most important assets you can own, providing a critical advantage in travel and survival.

Ageing: Horses age in this county, and at some point, your horse will become old and die. The average age for horses is 80 days, depending on breed and quality. When the time comes, your horse will pass on to greener pastures.

Quick Horse Actions

Whilst facing your horse, press the right mouse button to focus and bring up the quick horse interaction menu

F: Flee your horse

V: Brush (must have a horse brush in pockets. Purchase from a stable store)

C: Feed (must have horse food in pockets. Purchase from a stable store)

E: Lead your horse around

G: Pat your horse to calm it (you can also use G to pat/calm your horse when in the saddle)

Access the Horse Menu via U

Yes, it’s comprehensive, but your horse can be a valuable extension of your role-play, adding character. Let’s take a look at the menu options in depth

Interaction Options

The options here let you brush your horse for a bonding experience and take part in other fun activities.

Metabolism Interactions

These are key in keeping your horse happy and to further bond. Just like real horses, you don’t want to overfeed them or make them drink too much, as they can become sluggish. If your horse is agitated or not behaving well, perhaps a nap or a lie-down is required.

Riding Style

Some ladies like to ride side saddle, as was the fashion of the day. Use this menu to adjust

Other Options

The menu also includes several other options, such as temporarily adding NPC equipment, like full mining packs. These are removed when you send your horse back to the stable, but they are a fun temporary solution for RP. You can also sell your horse from this menu to another player. All in all, there are plenty of options to explore.

Housing & motels

Player Housing

All available properties to purchase are enabled and will display availability only when you get within range. If the marker appears on the map, you can walk up to the front door, and the details, including the buy price, will be visible. Purchase the property with cash.

Player housing is first come, first served.

Rent is charged every seven days. It is taken from your bank account when available; otherwise, keep the house ledger funded. Check the property screen for the current amount.

Failure to pay rent will result in the loss of access to the house until it is repurchased or rent paid.

If the property is abandoned, after 30 days, it will be returned to the market as is

All properties come with storage and clothing

Players can grant other players access to their house.

Customisation to properties is not offered.

The property, including exterior and interior props and furnishings, is at game level and cannot be altered.

Access to properties can be granted to other players, but the owner must manage it. Loss of property and funds is not the server's responsibility if you neglect to revoke access.

Certain properties, including those on ranches, are not offered, as they are considered part of the business purchase.

Motels

Players can rent hotel rooms in towns. Hotels are for a specific duration and are ideal for situational role-play, where a room is required to enhance a story.

Rent a room for 1 day or more to organise a clandestine meeting or a starting point for a group of people to meet, or just somewhere to rest your weary head.

Rent is calculated as the daily rate multiplied by the number of days you wish to rent for. Hotels are not permanent rooms and are meant to be a short-term solution. At the end of the rental period, access to the room is removed.

You can extend the days. Simply enter the new duration and pay.

All hotel rooms come with access to clothing (only saved clothing) and temporary storage (players are advised to use their carts, banks and warehouses for permanent storage options)

Ability to share access to the room with other players through the purchase of additional keys.

Simply look for the motel icon on the map to find out your nearest rental options

Storage and Warehouses

Players have access to storage via purchasing a vault at the bank or purchasing the various carts on offer at a stable.

Another alternative on offer is Warehouses.

Each warehouse is unique, and only one storage container can be purchased per location.

Rent is charged every seven (7) days. Rent is either taken from the players' Bank account, if they have one, or, if they do not, players must ensure sufficient funds are deposited into the storage ledger.

Failure to pay rent will result in the loss of access till storage is repurchased.

Players can share access to their warehouse storage.

The language of the county

Redemption RP is set in 1899, and all interactions should be time-appropriate. Using the correct terms and avoiding using modern references will save you a lot of trouble. The same goes for using OOC terms that would have no meaning in this period.

Allowable Terms to Use in the County

Locals - refers to NPCs in the game

Headache - Headache means you are experiencing frame drop/lagging/desyncing “ I am having a headache”

Head Popped - a crash or disconnection “my head popped” or “I think their head popped”

In My Head - temporarily away from keyboard

Lucky Number/Train ticket - Your in-game player ID

Flex Your Muscle - A hint to press a specific key. For example, “Flex your Y muscles” would mean press your Y key

Third Eye - A hint to use left ALT key to access something

Storm - Indicates the server is about to reset “ Storm is coming in 30 minutes”

Take a nap - Either logging off or going to relog to fix an issue “I’m going to take a quick nap”

Taking the train out - Going to log

You need a drink of water - your voice is lagging or robotic

Ears are blocked - indicating you can’t hear (audio issues)

Live eyes - refers to someone who is streaming, “I have my live eyes on”

Send a Prayer - Report something to the server Discord

Gods - reference to Admin and Staff

Terms You Cannot Use in County

Reference terms like - Twitch, Live stream, Email, Ticket, Discord, RedM, Staff, Clipped, Record, Report, Rule break, Banned, Game, etc., are not to be used in the county.

Your words should not reference modern-day items that did not exist in 1899.
