NEW WORLD VENTUS - Q&A (Updated June 30)
| Category | Questions | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | When did Ventus launch? | The World of Ventus set sail in Uncharted Waters Online on March 4, 2026. |
| General | Are there differences in game content between Maris and Ventus? | No. The game content is identical and receives the same patches now and in future updates. However, available items and events may differ between Worlds. |
| General | Do the Terms of Service and GM Guidelines apply to Ventus as well? | Yes. The Terms of Service and GM Guidelines apply to both Worlds. For example, a player may log in to up to three accounts simultaneously. |
| General | What is Ventus' server time? | The server time for Ventus is the same as Maris—both Worlds share the same underlying game server timing system, operating on Pacific Time. |
| General | How is the maintenance schedule handled? | We are currently keeping a three-week maintenance schedule for both Maris and Ventus. Both Worlds undergo maintenance at the same time, so downtime during maintenance may be longer than in previous maintenance windows. |
| General | Is it possible to chat between Maris and Ventus? | No. You cannot chat with players in a different World. However, once Cross-World is unlocked, this restriction will no longer apply to characters on your in-game Friends list. |
| General | Does the opening of a new server introduce any risk of a reset to Maris? | No. Launching a new World does not imply any reset of Maris. Even if the two Worlds ever merge, we guarantee players will not lose anything — all UWC and time invested on Maris will remain intact. |
| Characters | With the same Papaya Play account, can I create 3 more characters on Ventus? | Yes, you can. You can create up to 3 characters per World (4 if you use the item 'Add'l Registration Long-term Permit'). |
| Characters | Can I use the same character names from Maris for new characters I create on Ventus? | All character names used in Maris are not available in Ventus. This is mainly to avoid impersonations. *This rule only applies to character names created between the launch of Maris in 2017 and February 4th, 2026. |
| UWC-related | Can I use Treasure Cove Keys purchased in Maris in Ventus? |
Yes. Treasure Cove Keys are added to a single shared balance regardless of whether they are purchased in Maris or Ventus, and they can be used in both the Maris Treasure Cove and the Ventus Treasure Cove. |
| UWC-related | Are the Treasure Cove, Captain's Ticket, Pop-up Shop, Lucky Wheel, and Uncharted Bounty Compass also available in Ventus? |
As of June 30, 2026, the Treasure Cove, Captain's Ticket, Pop-up Shop, and Lucky Wheel are available in both Maris and Ventus.
The Uncharted Bounty Compass is not yet available in Ventus, but it is on its way to Ventus. |
| UWC-related | Can the UWC charged to my account when Maris was the only World be used in Ventus? | Yes. Any UWC charged to your Papaya Play account can be used in both Worlds. |
| UWC-related | How does Treasure Cove work? Can I choose which World to send the items I obtain to? | There are two separate Treasure Cove sites: one for Maris and another for Ventus. Items obtained from each Cove are delivered to the corresponding World’s Bank. For example, items from the Maris Treasure Cove go to the Maris bank, and items from the Ventus Treasure Cove go to the Ventus bank. Items cannot be transferred between Worlds until Cross-World is unlocked. |
| Cross-World | What is the Cross-World feature? | Cross-World lets you play your Maris characters in Ventus and your Ventus characters in Maris, with all Inventory and Ship Inventory items accessible. It will be locked at Ventus launch due to the large gap in World and character progression between Maris and Ventus. We will provide a more detailed guide about Cross-World so all Captains can learn what's coming. |
| Cross-World | When will Cross World be unlocked? | As of June 30, 2026, we don't have a date yet. Availability depends on Ventus' development and when players can access content, ships, and items currently locked. |
| Cross-World | I would like to know more details about how Cross World functions—specifically, what can and cannot be done in the World I'm not originally from. | We will create a detailed Cross-World Guide in the future, explaining exactly what can and cannot be done in a World you didn't originate from. |
| Cross-World |
When Cross-World is unlocked, will I be able to access my ships and items from Maris in Ventus, and vice versa? |
Yes, you can access all of your items and ships from Maris in Ventus, and vice versa in the following storage spaces: <Items> <Ships> On top of the items and ships, your character in a different World can have the same values for all the character/ship parameters. |
| Cross-World |
When Cross-World is unlocked, can I trade or sell items and ships from Maris in Ventus? |
Yes, you can trade your items and ships (including cash items and ships) from Maris with characters in Ventus, and vice versa. * For the Captain’s Ticket, the list of obtainable items differs between the two Worlds.
You can also sell Trade Goods from one World to NPCs in the other World, for example, if you find the market rates more favorable there. |
