Death Valley Server:
Dragon Oath embraces ancient Chinese culture and immerses our users in a mystical realm whose roots lay around the world. While ChangYou.com takes great pleasure in bringing this experience to N. American users we at ChangYou.com (US) also want to embrace the market here and adapt to your habits.
A minor way we would like to show ChangYou.com (US)’s willingness to embrace the N. American user is by our server names.  We had decided to use N. American landmark and we chose to focus exclusively on United States landmarks, but even limiting ourselves geographically we were faced with many great choices.
In the end we chose United State National Parks.  The first of which will be Death Valley, A superlative desert of streaming sand dunes, snow-capped mountains, multicolored rock layers, water-fluted canyons and 3 million acres of wilderness.
Through these server names we hope to not only spur your eagerness to learn about China , but also take interest in visiting our own National treasures…and hey, it doesn’t hurt  gamers to go out and get a little sunlight.
