First, we want to thank you all for your continued passion and feedback around Verse 3 – Path of the Adventurer. We’ve read your comments about the upcoming wipe and the availability of RP (roleplay) shards, and we want to address your concerns directly.
For this next wipe, we plan to open one shard per region. It is a change, but it’s a deliberate one: each shard will now support higher capacity, which allows us to gather more players in a single shard to enhance the gameplay experience.
That said, we may open additional shards if existing ones fill up, but we can’t promise when or if that will happen.
As for RP-specific shards, our original intent was to test whether the interest was strong enough to have some worlds specifically marked as RP. Based on what we’ve seen, we believe there is, so we’re likely to open RP shards at release.
We understand some of you are concerned about the potential for trolling or disruptive behavior on non-RP shards. Unfortunately, these issues can appear on any shard type. That said, we’ve also seen RP clans thriving on non-RP shards, and we’re confident many of you will continue to find ways to build meaningful, immersive experiences together.
As always, our Code of Conduct applies across all shards. If you encounter serious misconduct, please report it to our Customer Support team so we can take action.
To help the RP community coordinate, we’re opening a dedicated thread on Discord where RP clans and players can plan together, choose their region, province, and home valley, and regroup ahead of the wipe. We’re also sharing updated maps showing the revamped provinces to make that easier.
Thanks again for being such a passionate and creative community. We’re excited to step into Verse 3 - Path of the Adventurer, with you.
Pax vobiscum,
The Mainframe Team
