RavenQuest is an upcoming free-to-play, top-down pixel MMORPG for PC (Windows) by Tavernlight Games. RavenQuest is a truly immersive and dynamically changing world, filled with lore, puzzles, player decisions, and a strong player-driven economy using self-balancing algorithms. The core game features eight customizable classes with unique abilities that players can switch between and combine, various profession and crafting options, open world PVP on sea and ground, sailing, housing, land ownership, and more. RavenQuest integrates blockchain technology (Ethereum, Polygon) to record and secure ownership of optional digital assets earned or purchased by players, namely NFT assets (e.g. land, perks, cosmetics, pets) and cryptocurrency. RavenQuest has its own cryptocurrency ($QUEST), which mostly serves as a premium in-game currency and reward token.
