Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen News

As the excitement of the Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen Early Access launch has subsided, it is time to merge the servers to achieve a more optimal population of concurrent players. We have chosen to utilize the server sharding feature, demonstrated on the servers Havensong and Black Moon, to grow and shrink server communities as needed during Early Access. Please note that server shards have not been confirmed for 1.0 launch, and are only currently being used for Early Access.

Fresh start servers for those who wish to create a character on a brand new server, will be available in the coming weeks.

The server merge will take place on Wednesday, April 9th during maintenance downtime. The server list is as follows:

• Havensong (West Coast)
  
• Ossari (West Coast), formerly:
  
  
  • Ossari
    
  • Aellos
    
  • Khadassa
    
  • Korcera
    
  • Lynchandrell
    
  • Runaway Reef
    
  • Syronai
    
  • The Sacred Six
    
  • Wovarren
    

• Black Moon (East Coast)
  
• Stormona (East Coast), formerly:
  
  
  • Stormona
    
  • Aevos
    
  • Axecutor
    
  • Dark Trade
    
  • Ermos
    
  • Khaga
    
  • Lucent Tree
    
  • Revenant
    
  • Veil of Azeris
    

• Whispering Lands (EU)
  
• Bakamel (OCE)
  

• The Dead Vault (PvP)
  
• Union of Shadow (PvP)
  

Duplicate names will be appended with an "x" or a number. We will provide a one time name change for those duplicated names and renaming will be handled on a first come, first serve basis. If you find that you are one of those who has the "x" or number on the end of your name, please open a ticket here: https://seforums.pantheonmmo.com/support/ or here on Discord (under Discord Report). In your ticket, please provide 3 acceptable name alternatives in order of preference.

PvP servers are now enabled. The primary PvP server will be The Dead Vault (East Coast). If you are concerned about lag from the West Coast or if The Dead Vault is full, please choose Union of Shadow (West Coast).

• The corpses of NPCs killed by guard NPCs will now quickly decay since they are not lootable by players.
  
• Adjusted water physics a bit so the player doesn't go quite as deep when falling into the water, which makes falls into water a bit more survivable than before.
  
• Trying to salvage something that isn't salvageable should show a message now.
  
• Reduced the font size of the title on quest journal header so NPC quest givers with longer names should fit better, such as Foreman Aldeus.
  
• Player pets will no longer move to attack targets that are deemed too far away.
  
• Adjusted drag and drop a bit so that there needs to be a bit more movement before dragging begins, which should mean less instances where you drag a hot bar ability by mistake when you were just trying to click on it to activate it.

• Spell Power contribution for damage shields adjusted.

• Fixed a bug where NPCs sometimes weren't fleeing when they should have been.
  
• Some crash fixes.

• Auto-combining of stackable items when they are right-clicked into the bank is now re-enabled on a trial basis. We believe we may have fixed the issues that it was causing when it was previously in the game. However, be aware that if we start seeing issues with it, we may need to disable it, which we can do without requiring another patch.
  
• Items in player corpse bags now show the proper loot tooltip and both right and left click work to loot the item.
  
• Fixed an issue where quest items gave an error about the item not being needed when players tried to loot them from their corpse.
  
• Fixed an issue where player pets were teleporting to their target in certain cases.

• The quest “Get Your Hands Dirty” has been disabled and will no longer be offered to characters. The item used by the quest is also no longer available for purchase. If you have this quest in your journal, and you have the item required, you may still attempt to complete it, otherwise you may abandon it.
  
• The supply crates used for the quest "Lost Cargo" should now be visible even if you have already finished the quest "Lieutenants of Greed"

We are pleased to share with you the planned roadmap for Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen for the remainder of 2025. As we drive hard toward release, our primary focus is on efficient production and timely delivery of new content.

To ensure a steady stream of fresh and engaging experiences, we are committed to releasing new content every six to eight weeks, as outlined in the roadmap below. Last year, through extensive organization and effort, we were able to deliver Early Access, and now, we have applied even more detailed planning for 2025.

This roadmap reflects our best, most efficient path to achieving the v1 release of Pantheon. The order of delivery might not be everyone’s preferred priorities, but we are confident it is the best plan to bring us to launch. If we acquire more resources, we are prepared to accelerate our progress even further. We will share the 2026 roadmap at a later date. Thank you for taking this journey with us, and see you in Terminus!

[h3]What’s next for Pantheon?[/h3]

PvP is being re-enabled on April 2 after its hiatus during the Early Access launch. In addition to more bug fixes and addressing some of your top feedback from PvE experiences, PvP servers will be added for those seeking an extra challenge. But be aware! Pantheon’s PvP servers are not for the faint of heart. It is raw PvP. Here’s what you can expect:

• PvP is only available on PvP servers and will not be enabled on existing servers.
  
• There is no class balancing for PvP. Some classes will feel more powerful than others in PvP. You decide how you want to play.
  
• This is a lawless land. There will be no GM support for contesting content. It is up to you to shape this world. Order or chaos? Your PvP community will decide.
  
• PvP can only be engaged within 5 levels of each other.
  
• PvP combat begins at level 5.
  
• General inventory can be looted from player corpses by other players; equipped gear cannot.
  
• The in-combat state between players will end after 10 seconds of not taking PvP damage.
  
• Damage and healing in PvP combat will be scaled differently from PvE content.
  
• There is no friendly fire between players in the same group or guild.
  
• Players not in your group or guild will default as an offensive target. You can CTRL + Left Click to target them defensively.
  
• After dying in PvP combat, players will receive a buff that makes them immune to PvP combat for 90 seconds.
  
• Server shard selection is disabled on PvP servers.
  

Play at your own risk!
