RavenIdle’s big Season 0 launch didn’t exactly go to plan.
Instead of kicking off a smooth, strategic idle RPG experience, the game’s servers tapped out within hours. The turnout was way bigger than expected, and let’s just say the backend wasn’t ready to party.
So what happened, what are the devs doing about it, and what should you expect from the relaunch? Let’s break it down.
What Went Wrong?
The RavenIdle devs were prepared for around 10,000 players hopping in at launch. That number got smashed fast. More players showed up than they ever anticipated, and each player session ended up putting more pressure on the system than expected.
Basically: it wasn’t just a lot of players, it was a lot of heavy sessions. And it broke stuff. The team had to shut everything down shortly after launch. First time in their 10-year dev history they’ve had to kill a launch day like this.
What Are The Devs Doing Now?
To their credit, the RavenIdle team has been pretty transparent. They openly admitted they didn’t stress test the game at this scale and apologized to the community.
Now, they’re in full damage control mode. Optimization is the top priority, and the devs say they’re working “around the clock” to make sure RavenIdle can actually stay online the next time it launches even with tens of thousands logging in.
What to Expect from the Relaunch
Good news: it’s not going to be a surprise drop this time.
The devs said they’ll give at least 24 hours’ notice before RavenIdle goes live again. That means no “who got in first” chaos, no early leaderboard advantage—just a clean, fair launch where everyone can start at the same time.
Even while the servers are down, you can still create your account and prep your character on the official site. So if you’re planning to play, now’s a good time to set yourself up.
Free Rewards for Early Players + RavenQuest Events
If you tried to log in before things went sideways, you’re not walking away empty-handed. The team is giving 500 free Munk Coins to anyone who attempted to play.
Meanwhile, over on RavenQuest, they’re running some in-game events to keep the community busy while RavenIdle gets patched up. Expect:
- Double XP
- Double loot drops
- 2x $QUEST token rewards
Starting Monday, these bonuses will run throughout the week.
So… What’s Next?
The team says they’re aiming for a more stable, scalable relaunch—and based on the lessons from launch day, they seem to be taking things seriously.
A stronger infrastructure is being built, and they’re promising updates soon as they fine-tune things behind the scenes. If they get it right this time, RavenIdle might finally become the competitive idle RPG it was meant to be.
Until then, the best move is to stay ready. Create your account, collect those free rewards, and maybe even grind some RavenQuest while we wait.
