A new Game Update has been released! The game client will update automatically, and you may download the game at any time. Steam users may need to restart the app to receive the latest updates.

What's new in this update:



Make sense of your inventory by attaching labels & icons to your bags! The new Edit Item dialog allows writing a label on all container items. You may also choose from a selection of icons to distinguish each bag.


Keep your automatically looted items in order by configuring one or more containers as Auto Loot bags! Have looted gold, collectibles, gatherables, equipment and others sort themselves into the right bags without any manual effort required.


To get started, hover over a bag to use the new Item Menu, and choose "Edit" to modify that item. Note that Auto Loot bags must be placed directly within the inventory main bag, or the attribute will have no effect.



All boosts purchased from the Bestiary are now personal to each player. Modifier boosts will apply when a monster killed by a boosted player respawns. In addition, the ability to toggle between a one and two hour boost has been added.


Note: purchased Enraged & Debuff boosts now apply after killing a monster. Once the monster respawns, the boost is applied to that particular spawn only.




The Premium Shop is expanding into home goods beginning with the Home Training Doll and Home Brewing Cauldron! Train your skills & brew potions in the comfort of your own home. Visit the Premium Shop to find the new products.





See you ingame!

Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff

Here are a few examples of possible arrangements:

Classic Mixed Speed Rate

The game world has a 10x speed rate throughout. The main continent remains non-PvP, while one or two continents rotate as the PvP-Enforced area weekly.

New Full PvP Speed Rate

The game world has a 10x to 5x speed rate from level 1, 100, …500. All areas are PvP with the classic skulls system. Weekly kill limits are raised, and the time to lose a black murderer skull is reduced to three days.

All players can see the red skull of a player in active combat. Season points are awarded for killing players with higher levels (restrictions apply).

PvP weighed Mixed Speed Rate

The game world has a 10x speed rate throughout. The main continent remains non-PvP, while all other areas are PvP-Enforced.

Let us know what you want!

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is coming to Zezenia Online! Starting today you'll be able to lock down your account using an authenticator app. Enabling MFA will require both a password and an authentication code to sign in. Zezenia is compatible with industry standard apps such as Google Authenticator, Authy and more.

Visit the Account Settings to manage Multi-factor Authentication. Enrolling accounts is highly recommended for the highest level of security. One or more authenticators can be enrolled to each account.



Every enrolled account has ten unique Backup Codes. Should you lose access to the authenticator app, each backup code can be used to log in and confirm actions once. Keep your backup codes written down in a safe place or you may lose access to your account!

To prevent social engineering attacks the staff can not perform any account recovery for users with Multi-factor Authentication enabled. It is the account owner's personal responsibility to take care of their authenticators.

Stage One: this is the first phase of the MFA rollout. Logins and sensitive actions on the web site and services are now protected by a second factor. To finish the update MFA is coming to the game client & server at a later date.

Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff

A Zezenia Online game update has been released! As always, your client will automatically update and you may download the game again at any time. Steam users may need to restart the Steam client to update.

Here's a peek at what's new:




The buff bars have been upgraded to show an icon and countdown for each ongoing spell & potion buff. Toggle between the new and old buff bar style in the game options.




Adopted Pets now have their own level and gain experience while hunting. Keep your loyal companion well fed to level them up and enable buffs. Unlock new secret magical buffs at level milestones starting at level 5. Reaching the maximum level of 50 will enable a toggleable glow on the pet to signify your companionship.



Pet lovers of the highest order can compete to level up the most pets to win the Pet Levels high score on the Zezenia website. Magical buffs only apply in PvM combat.




The Item Library provides a comprehensive record of nearly all items in the game world. Organized by item and equipment type, the library makes browsing items easy.

Players can easily toggle automatic looting for specific items, including enraged & elite drops. Currently disabled automatic loot can be found in the "Loot disabled" section.





All quivers in the game can now receive Dynamic Stats on top of their base stats. In addition, bags and quivers can now be listed on sale in the Market. Empty your container/quiver of any items before trying to list it on sale.



The sixth season of Zezenia Online begins next month! Stay tuned for all the details, and for further updates!
