Posted by Kim on May 2, 2018, 4:57pm

As the final symbol was unlocked, the sunken city began to rise to the surface...

And a strange portal was found at its center! Was this what the aliens were looking for when they came to the world of the Repository? Our researchers are hard at work determining how it functions... But that's not all!

Among the treasures of the city, these character profile templates were recovered for the entire site to enjoy!


We have Mushrooms, Silent Prayer, Lightning (five color variants), Location: Tokyo, Location: Colosseum, Location: Cathedral, Paladin (three color variants), Whale, Bonecase (two color variants), Wild West and Champagne.

I could not be more proud of you for the teamwork you showed to get to this reward.

Some special thank yous


There were many members and mods that helped get this event ready for your enjoyment, but there two individuals who put in long hours of work alongside me, some of it under last minute pressure, to bring this event to you.

I want to extend a special thanks to Justine for designing the monsters, creating the artwork for all of them plus the new weapons, admiral walruses, the comics and more. She put in months of focused work to make this happen.

I also need to thank Darth_Angelus, who toiled night and day for weeks - one of those weeks being this one - to create the videos for the event. He was also responsible for the bulk of the puzzles, and the force behind the creation of the Oceanic language.

onion once again improved and expanded the Doubutt game, making this the first year in which it was offered in two different formats.

Auberon converted all the concept art for the new weapons and the slice of birthday cake into high quality pixel art icons, so you could show all the cool new stuff off on your profile!

MadRatBird created the fishing image.

Thanks to Ben, Copper_Dragon, Onion and Heimdall for creating additional trivia riddles!

Finally, I want to thank every one of the 518 of you who participated in this year's Epic Week event! You will soon be seeing a special year 8 accolade on your profile to mark the occasion.

Hearing these stories about the closeness people felt, the new friends they made, the new confidence found -- this is what Epic Week is all about for me, and why I put the work in every year to make it happen. It's absolutely heart warming and basically the best site-birthday gift an admin could receive. <3 <3 <3

Thank you all for participating and making this year so amazing! :D

Woo-hoo! Epic week was so fun! (Wish I would've had more time to beat up goblins but I had to work.)

I'm already using a few of the new templates for my characters!! 😻

This was my first EW, and it was stupendous! My favourite part was most definitely how much it made this wonderful community come alive. Teaming up to kill baddies and so many pats on the back, and the gratitude over simply giving someone a +1 boost - just phenomenal. It really was just a week of bringing out the best in people, and that's some true magic.

A major heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this possible and to everyone that pitched in. It was an honour fighting with you. <3

Arigato RPR staff, and others who helped to create Epic Week. It was an interesting first Epic Week for me.

The "Some special thank yous" section is forgetting the most important person of all: KIM. Every year Epic Week is fresh, exciting, and insanely fun, all thanks to her ludicrously monumental effort. HUZZAH!
