Raven City Timeline

Quick explanation

When Raven City 1.0 launched, the timeline was set so any previous servers existed 5 years in the past, with Raven City 1.0 being present day.

With the launch of Raven City 2.0, the server once again begins at present day, with a 6-month gap between Raven City 1.0 and 2.0.

In-character reasoning

  • A major financial crash occurred during the gap.
  • Widespread defunding of government sectors followed.
  • Martial law was implemented while the economy stabilised.
  • Raven City is now entering a period where things are slowly returning to normal.

Misc

  • /cid — Displays the player’s Citizen ID
  • /id — Displays your current server ID (“Lucky number”)
