On September 12th, Royal RSPS launched, rebranding what was once Destiny RSPS. While rebrands often signal new beginnings, Royal RSPS appears to be anything but. With unfinished website pages, lazy graphics, and an overemphasis on its store page, it feels like this is just another quick money grab. For those familiar with the server’s owner, Johnny, this should come as no surprise. Unfinished Website, Lazy Graphics, and One Completed Page — The Store Let’s face it: a professional, polished website is critical for any online community, especially one that thrives on player engagement like a RuneScape private server. Unfortunately, Royal RSPS falls flat. Many parts of the website are incomplete, showcasing a lack of attention to detail. The design elements are generic and rushed, and the user experience is far from what you’d expect from a server trying to position itself as “new and improved.” The only section that appears to have received real focus? The store page. This alone speaks volumes. When the store is the most polished aspect of the site, it’s clear where the priorities lie — and it’s not on gameplay improvements or community engagement. Johnny’s Reputation: Another Server, Another Cash Grab This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this play out. Johnny, the notorious owner behind Royal RSPS, has a history of opening multiple servers under the guise of a “network.” Time and again, these servers follow a familiar pattern: launch with a lot of hype, collect player donations, and then slowly fade away with minimal updates or support. Royal RSPS seems to be following the same script. The rebrand from Destiny RSPS feels like a thinly veiled attempt to milk the player base once again, offering little in the way of real improvements. It’s hard to ignore that every time Johnny opens a new server, the same cycle repeats: hype, donations, neglect. Players Should Wait Before Investing If you’re thinking about jumping into Royal RSPS and opening your wallet, take a step back. With the server’s rocky history and the clear emphasis on monetization over substance, it’s worth waiting at least 3 months before even considering any financial investment. Don’t fall into the trap of getting excited by a few shiny new updates or flashy marketing campaigns. Take the time to see if this server actually follows through with meaningful updates or if it fizzles out once the initial donation surge is over. History suggests the latter. Is Royal RSPS a Worthwhile Investment of Your Time and Money? At this stage, it’s hard to say anything positive about the direction Royal RSPS is heading. The unfinished website, minimal updates beyond the store, and the notorious past of the server’s owner paint a bleak picture for both new and returning players. If you’re a seasoned RSPS player, you’ve likely seen this kind of cash grab before. The rebrand feels like a way to bring in new donations, rather than a genuine attempt to improve gameplay. Key Dates in the Rebranding Process August 13th: Destiny RSPS entered “Private Mode,” preventing new accounts from being created while the rebrand was being prepared. August 30th: Destiny went offline in preparation for the Royal RSPS launch. September 12th: Royal RSPS officially launched, but what’s really new aside from a few surface-level changes? Final Thoughts: Buyer Beware Royal RSPS is positioning itself as the next big thing, but the reality is much different. Johnny’s track record speaks for itself, and Royal RSPS looks like another server set to follow the same predictable pattern. With unfinished content, lazy graphics, and a clear focus on driving store sales, the rebrand feels more like a way to squeeze more money from players rather than offering a genuinely improved gaming experience. If you’re thinking of supporting this server, give it time. Watch how the community evolves and if the developers actually deliver on their promises. Until then, don’t invest your money into Royal RSPS. You might just find yourself left with an empty server and a lighter wallet.
