EnglishWhat Is The Raven Republic Forums?
Updated
The Raven Republic Forums (ravenrepublic.net) is a long-running English-language discussion board for the Armored Core mecha game series. It is useful if you want to talk about specific AC titles, ask for mission or build help, browse fan media, or trade parts and games with other players. It is a community site, not an official publisher or storefront, so anything you read there is player-generated.
What the site covers
The board is organized around the Armored Core franchise rather than a single game. Its game list spans the series from the early entries through the later generations, including:
- Armored Core
- Armored Core 2
- Master of Arena
- Another Age
- Nexus
- Nine Breaker
- Last Raven
- Formula Front
- Silent Line
- Armored Core 4
- Armored Core: Verdict Day
That spread means you can find threads on older PS1 and PS2 titles alongside discussion of more recent releases, all in one place.
Main sections and what they are for
| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Assembly | General community area, including introductions and organizing AC-related activity |
| Theory and Concept | In-depth analysis of game mechanics, with a sub-forum for prior generations |
| Core-Related | General AC news, updates, and miscellaneous topics |
| Game Help | Help with specific missions, enemies, parts, and maneuvers; includes a wiki and guides/statistics sub-forum |
| Designs | AC builds and design contests, split by generation (1st through 6th) |
| AC Media | Fan media, including an "Armored Kodakan" sub-forum |
| Trading Post | Buying and selling game-related items between members |
| Billboard | Non-AC events and public announcements |
| The Help Desk | Site problems, issues, ideas, and requests; guests and validating members can post |
| The Rules / Announcements | Site rules and news |
How to use it
- Read the rules first. The Rules section is explicitly marked as required reading before posting.
- Browse before registering. Much of the forum is visible to guests, and the Help Desk even allows guest and validating-member posts.
- Register to participate. A standard username/email and password login is used, with a lost-password recovery option and a "remember me" setting.
- Pick the right board. For a specific mission or part question, Game Help is the intended place; for build feedback, use Designs and the matching generation sub-forum.
- Check the wiki and guides. The Game Help area links to a wiki plus guides and statistics, which is often faster than waiting for a reply.
Things to know before joining
- It is an old-school forum. Threads and last-post dates in the visible listing stretch across years, so some boards are far more active than others. Check the most recent post date before expecting a quick answer.
- Activity is uneven by section. Community and design boards show heavy post counts, while some help and media areas have lighter traffic.
- Trading is member-to-member. The Trading Post is a peer marketplace, so normal caution applies when dealing with strangers.
- No pricing is stated on the site itself. Nothing in the available material indicates paid membership, subscriptions, or a store; treat it as a free community forum unless you see otherwise after logging in.
If your goal is Armored Core discussion, build sharing, or help with a specific mission, this forum is a reasonable place to start. If you need official support, purchase links, or current game news from the publisher, look elsewhere.
