Letter from Developer K

Greetings heroes of Dragon Nest. I'm Producer Lee Kyung-nam.

We're all on the verge of completing a transformation of Saint Haven after 10 years.

Due to the changes in the Goddess's dream, all the buildings were newly constructed, and all the NPCs and gates in the town were relocated to new areas.

Some of you may feel that with these changes Saint Haven, which you have become familiar with after such a long time, offer a pleasant and fresh experience,

but it is true that having to learn every element of the town anew will cause considerable inconvenience for most heroes.

Below, I have summarized the restructuring of Saint Haven with the hope that it will help you understand the future changes of its world to a certain extent.

Architecture of a Great City

The new Saint Haven offers the chance to experience a place filled with more magnificence and grandeur.

We focused on the three-dimensional design that was a departure from the existing horizontal layout. We not only wanted to maximize the fun that can be had while moving through the town, but also optimize the experience in general.

Graphic Quality Improvements

Most of the structures that make up Saint Haven have been redesigned to provide more intricate expression and enhanced aesthetics

with improved real-time shadowing and lighting technologies.

Repositioning of Town NPCs

All NPCs deployed in the town have been repositioned so that those with similar roles are gathered in the same place.

This will minimize the amount of unused space in the town and make it more lively as a whole.

In addition, once you understand the overall town composition, you will be able to infer the location of an NPC based on their role, even if they are a new NPC.

Enhanced World Narrative

Mistland and Lagendia are like parallel universes that cannot interact directly with each other.

In order to ensure this storyline makes sense, we redesigned the gate layout and added a new location called the Silver Dragon's Forcefield.

Removed the Teleport Feature

In order for heroes to more fully enjoy the new Saint Haven, all teleportation features except the warp in the central square had to be removed.

Our development team wants the experience of Dragon Nest's world to be one step closer to the essential RPG game.

I believe that all NPCs that make up the world should feel like meaningful characters through direct interaction, and that the gameplay experience in the town can also be part of the adventure.

We hope you can understand and appreciate the new changes to Dragon Nest and join us in making the Dragon Nest world a better place.

We'll be back soon with even better and more interesting updates. Stay healthy and have fun on your adventures!

Thank you.
