A new sandbox MMO

Ravendawn Online MMO Features

Officially titled Ravendawn, some still prefer to call the game Ravendawn Online because of the MMORPG’s website. Ravendawn may remind you of a similar game called Tibia, another 2D MMO with a cult following and rich history. That’s because Ravendawn is actually built on an open-source Tibia engine. However, despite the similarly odd view angle of the two MMO’s, the two are actually very different. While Tibia is a mostly linear “theme park” style MMO, Ravendawn is more of a sandbox MMO. I’d argue from a gameplay perspective, Ravendawn is more similar to Archeage with open-world housing and farming, a deep profession and crafting system, and the ability to create and trade packs to make money.

Here are some of the main features of Ravendawn:

  • Open-world house building
  • Hundreds of character class customizations across eight Archetypes
  • Player-driven economy featuring crafting mini-games and trading across the ocean
  • Fully fleshed out Tradepack and Shipping system via trade carts and trade ships
  • Open-world PvP and Guild vs Guild to fight over land and resources
  • Intricate Political system allowing players to become landowners, Lords, and more
