The main 'hub' is the city of Corvus, an original setting based on the Sword Coast (Faerûn).
Server-based play is a little different from a regular DM + party in that you can participate in player-directed RP with others (i.e. no DM).
Then for quests (released twice a month) you'll join up in a party of 5 for a DM-led adventure.
The 'Arena-style combat' is the Dark Vaults of Corvus - a single combat encounter with a group of 5 player characters (PCs) run by a Vault Keeper (DM).
Server Events are typically run by Admins / Helpers every few months and allow the whole server to participate in RP, some dice-roll based activities, and (usually once each year) a massive battle as some huge threat attempts to invade / destroy the city!
There are also Guilds (RP + minor buffs with other PCs), Downtime (learning of new languages or tool proficiencies), Shopping + custom magical items with powers flavoured to your PC and a little 'mini-quest' run in RP, and probably a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting! 😅
I read the rules document and I have a question about XP. Are the twice a month quests and the twice a month dark vaults the only way to gain XP?
I assume there's no guarantee to get in since there's limited DMs, and it would be discouraging to have to RP a level 3 character for half a year waiting to get in to a game.
Just in case anyone else wondered - yep Quests (released on the 1st and 15th of each month) and Vault encounters are the only* way to get XP.
*Okay a small amount of bonus XP / gold can be obtained from participation in server events every few months, but Quest + Vault are the main routes!
There's no guarantee to get into a Quest or Vault, but we do have a good bunch of DMs and it's been very rare that newer players looking for a Quest are left without one! 😅
