Zezenia Season Nine begins Friday March 20th at 18:00 (UTC)! This marks the opening of Aegis & Caldera, two Speed Rate Seasonal Game Worlds. View the live countdown to Server Start and be ready!

What is a Seasonal Server? Fast paced Seasonal Servers are on for a limited duration only! Race your way to the top of the high scores or grind for seasonal rewards & points in a speed rate world. You can continue playing your seasonal character on permanent worlds afterwards with some restrictions.

Create your character and reserve your name in advance now! Will you be one of the legends to be immortalised in this season's Hall of Fame?



Aegis and Caldera feature a Staged Experience Rate to help your character discover the entire game world during the season:

Experience Stage	Experience Rate
1-85	10x
85-170	9x
170-255	8x
255-340	7x
340-425	6x
510-595	5x
595-680	4x
680-765	3x
765-850	2x
850-	1x

What is the Skill Rate? Skills advance at a 5x rate. Magic Level advances at a 3x rate.

What are the PvP rules on Aegis? Characters level 30 and above are PvP enabled. Kill limits are raised for a speed rate: five (5) in 24 hours, ten (10) in 72 hours, up to fifteen (15) kills a week. A black skull lasts for three (3) days.

What are the Seasonal Rewards? Season 9 is intended to boost a new character into Elysium or Pharos with generous transfer conditions. In addition, players who reach level 500 can redeem the Seasonal Outfit Scroll. Season Points accumulated can be spent on either Elysium or Pharos off season.



Season Nine is the first to feature the option of Ironborn Mode, a fully self sufficient hardcore gameplay mode for those looking to prove themselves! Ironborn characters may not receive any assistance from other players and must loot their own items and equipment to survive in the game world. Do you have what it takes to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and become a self made hero?

The choice to become Ironborn is available during character creation only. Make your choice carefully!

Full details about Ironman Mode and its challenges & restrictions may be found in the Game Wiki.

The Zezenia Online Public Test Server is once again open to all players! Download the Test Client to log in. Plase note that the Test Server is based on a recent snapshot, so all of your character's progress may not be up to date.

Here's what's new:



A new challenge is coming to Zezenia Online in the form of Ironborn Mode, a fully self sufficient gameplay mode! Ironborn characters may not receive any assistance from other players and must loot their own items and equipment to survive in the game world. Do you have what it takes to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and become a self made hero?

Ironborn Mode is coming first to the upcoming Zezenia Season 9, after which it will be generally available on all current and future Game Worlds to come. Stay tuned for more news on the future of Zezenia Online!

To test Ironborn Mode invoke the !ironborn command to toggle your character. In addition, the !tutorial command can be used to completely reset a character to level one. (There is no going back!) Please note that in the live game Ironborn Mode will be a permanent one time toggle selected upon character creation.



Previously closed off parts of the undiscovered New Continent are opening for business, with new quests coming soon! In the first preview high level players can face a new, tough family of the Orc race with Orc Archmages, Orc Sharpshooter, Orc Brutes and Orc Crushers.



Make the Zezenia game client yours with new font choices: Modern, a sans-serif font that is easy on the eyes, and Book, an RPG style serif font for a refined book appearance.



Did you find a bug in the new features, most importantly Ironborn Mode? Be sure to report your findings in this thread, through a support ticket (email [email protected] or open a ticket in the official Discord server) or using CTRL + R ingame, and you may be eligible to receive a Bug Bounty Reward!

Reported findings from new Test Server Heroes will be rewarded according to their severity. Rewards will include Premium Cards, Premium Time and a possibility to receive an exclusive new contributor award to show off!



Be sure to check out the Premium Shop for limited time Valentine's Day deals, including +25% extra ingame Premium Cards on all purchases! The sale ends Tuesday February 17th, so be quick.

Dear Adventurers,

Zezenia Online proudly presents our annual Christmas Event, where teamwork is the key to decorating the Grand Christmas Tree, bringing great milestone rewards & holiday gifts to all participating players! Read on for all the new & old details for this year's celebrations.



From Thursday December 18th to January 7th (Server Save) players will embark on a quest to collect delightful decorative items to adorn our magnificent tree. Each decoration you gather will play a vital role in bringing the festive spirit to life in Zezenia!




As you log in to Zezenia Online today, you will notice the Event Progress Bar. Adding decorations to the tree will increment the progress bar, and finishing milestones will unlock events and add decorations to the Grand Tree!

Common decorations such as Christmas Cards, colored ornaments and more are dropped by almost all monsters in the game world. Become this year's Secret Santa by sending out cards to other players, and liven up the place by hanging various decorations around the world! Will you be able to do enough to claim all the milestones and rewards in time? The pace of the event is much accelerated this time around, so don't miss it!

And more, once the event progresses you will be able to ask Santa Claus for hints on where to find the rarest decorations to put the finishing touches on the tree. Finding the rarest collectibles of them all will yield the greatest individual rewards after the event!

To add to the challenge this year, the Evil Snowman's Christmas Goblins are scheming to raid the tree and remove its decorations! It's up to the community to keep watch on the tree and prevent the celebrations from being spoiled.



In addition, new yearly rewards in the form of an exclusive Santa Training Doll and Reindeer Pet Scroll will become available if the tree is decorated in time. Keep an eye out for further details on how to acquire these brand new rewards...



The Evil Snowman's lair is also open again for raiders. Look out for this year's edition of Evil Snowman's Dungeon Tickets to enter the time limited Christmas Dungeon!



As new milestones are reached in the event, all players will get to take part in the following server wide rewards:

- Two (2) decorations returned: +5% Global Experience Bonus
- Four (4) decorations returned: +5% Global Experience Bonus
- Six (6) decorations returned: -10% Monster Defense Debuff
- Eight (8) decorations returned: +10% Player Speed Buff
- Ten (10) decorations returned: +10% Market Rate on NPC sell prices
- Twelve (12) decorations returned: +10% Global Loot Rate

These milestone rewards begin as soon as the required number of decorations are returned to the tree, and last until the end of the event on January 7th (Server Save). In addition to milestone rewards shared by the entire server, participants in the event will receive individual rewards after the event based on the quality and rarity of their returned decorations!



After the event ends players will receive the second set of rewards for completing the Grand Tree! First, all players will get to take part in the following server wide rewards:

- Make A Wish: let us know in this thread what you would like to see! All requests will be considered by the staff within reason.

Second, all players who participate in returning the decorations (Santa's Little Helper achievement) receive:

- Christmas 2025 Event Badge: shown on your forum character profile.
- Personal Gift Parcel: a small holiday gift depending on the number and rarity of decorations returned.

Happy Holidays! We hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday season. See you ingame!





Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff

A warp in the space time continuum has unleashed the past once again! Look hard enough and you may find prehistoric Retro Monsters roaming the lands of Zezenia. These ancient creatures drop a little bit of extra experience for a holiday bonus!



That's not all: a mysterious Time Portal to a bygone era has appeared in the Ellarian graveyard! For a million gold fee, you can race against the clock inside the portal to secure some of the rarest loot for a limited time only. Will you take a gamble with the chances?


The Time Warp is appropriate for players level 30+. One player may enter the Time Warp dungeon for 10 minutes at a time.





The Halloween Dungeon is open to brave adventurers looking to confront the seasonal boss Screwou. Will you be lucky enough to loot the Halloween Equipment pieces? Complete the dungeon 5 times for the Halloween achievement and 20 times to unlock the newly added Pumpkinhead Headpiece usable on many classic outfits!


The Halloween Dungeon difficulty scales by player level and can be entered by 1-5 players at a time. Entrance tickets are dropped by surprise...




Ellaria's Graveyard Keeper Gorvenal is once again ready to outfit those who dare disturb his peace. Speak to him for a chance to claim exclusive Halloween themed character outfits! Be careful: claimed outfits are removed if the Character Builder is modified in any way.







The Halloween Events are on until Server Save on Wednesday November 5th. After this time it's time to say goodbye to everything mentioned above for another year, so don't miss it!

See you ingame.

Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff
