DevBlog: Regional Channels Unveiled — Seamless Global Connectivity!
We’re excited to share a new feature coming to Ravendawn — Regional Channels! This new feature is designed to enhance your gameplay experience by allowing you to connect to the server location that provides the best possible connection, ensuring smoother gameplay.
From now on, exploring the world, hunting with friends, or trading with fellow adventurers will be easier than ever — no matter where you are. This isn’t a new world or server; rather, it’s an option to choose the server location that provides the optimal experience for your journey.
Let’s dive into what these Regional Channels mean for you!
Optimized Performance, Seamless Connectivity
Whether you’re adventuring from North America, South America, Europe, or Southeast Asia, with Regional Channels, you can leave lag, delays, and interruptions behind. You’ll be able to explore, trade, and battle across the world of Ravendawn with ease. Plus, you’re not locked into a single choice — feel free to switch between regions whenever you wish.
Stay Connected to the Community!
Ever since Ravendawn started being developed, building a strong and vibrant community has always been our priority, and we understand how important it is to stay in touch with your friends, no matter where they’re playing from. To make that easier, we’re rolling out enhanced communication features to help you stay connected:
World Chat: Players across all Regional Channels can now chat in real-time, making it easier to interact with the global Ravendawn community.
Friendlist & Guild Chat: Whether you’re in the same region or not, you can still chat with your friends and guildmates. Your friend list and Guild Chat are not confined to a single Regional Channel.
Cross-Channel Invitations: You’ll be able to party up with players from any Regional Channel and even invite them to join your guild. When clicking to join a player on your friend list, a confirmation window will pop up, asking you to confirm the channel switch.
This confirmation step ensures you aren’t unexpectedly switched while engaged in combat, questing, or in an instanced area, offering you full control over when to change regions.
World Server Market Access: Trade Across the Globe
You have already seen by now the importance of the in-game Market for Ravendawn’s economy, and with Regional Channels, that won’t change! You’ll still have access to a unified in-game Market that spans all Regional Channels.
This means goods and items will be available across every region, creating a dynamic and interconnected economy where players can trade and buy from all corners of the world. Prices and availability will reflect the entire player base, offering a richer and more exciting trading experience.
Guild Wars & Strongholds: Global Competition Awaits
For our competitive players, Ravendawn's Regional Channels bring even more excitement! Guild Wars and Strongholds will be cross-channel compatible, allowing you to showcase your guild’s dominance on a global scale and take your strategy to new heights.
We hope you all enjoy the enhanced gameplay experience and faster connections that the Regional Channels will bring. We thank you for being part of our community. Join our Tavern on Discord, let us know what you think, and stay tuned for upcoming news!
