Following your recent messages and invaluable feedback, we are excited to announce that Ares will not stand alone! Alongside our original PvP seasonal world, a brand new non-PvP seasonal server, Gaia, will also open its gates on Friday August 29th at 18:00 (UTC).

This means that whether you crave the thrill of battle in full PvP or prefer a peaceful environment focused on hunting, quests, and achievements, Season Eight has a home for you:

- Ares: the originally announced Speed Rate PvP world. A realm for champions who thrive on the thrill of battle and the risk of player combat.
- Gaia: a brand new Speed Rate non-PvP world. A realm for adventurers who wish to focus on mastering the world's challenges, leveling up and competing against the fierce environment of Zezenia.

The dual server approach allows everyone to compete for the seasonal rewards in your own way. Choose your world, reserve your name, and prepare to etch your legend into this season's Hall of Fame!



We have also finalized and adjusted some of the core mechanics for the season based on feedback and our new two-server structure. The following rules apply to both Ares and Gaia unless specified otherwise.



The experience rate has been streamlined to offer a consistent and rewarding progression with a chance to access late game content during the season:

- Levels 1-100: 10x
- Levels 100-150: 8x
- Levels 150-200: 6x
- Levels 200-300: 4x
- Levels 300+: 3x



- Skills: Advance at a 3x rate before Rebirth and a 4x rate after.
- Magic Level: Advances at a 2x rate before Rebirth and a 3x rate after.



The path of Rebirth has been re-envisioned as a true endgame goal.

- Players may now choose to go through Rebirth at level 300.
- Upon Rebirth, you will return to level one, keeping your skills and talent points, and you will unlock faster skill progression rates.
- A bonus of 5000 Season Points is awarded for completing Rebirth.
- The quest for completing Rebirth will be streamlined.



Please check the amended Season Eight Announcement for full Season Ending & transfer details.





- Characters level 30 and above can engage in PvP combat.
- Kill limits are raised: five (5) in 24 hours, ten (10) in 72 hours, and fifteen (15) per week. A black skull lasts for three (3) days.
- Gaining Season Points from PvP kills is exclusive to Ares.



- Enjoy a peaceful journey where PvP combat is disabled. Focus on hunting, questing, and climbing the high scores without interruption.
- Optional PvP is still available in arenas throughout the world and the biweekly Castle War event.



The ultimate prizes remain! Reach level 300 on either server to earn the exclusive Season 8 Outfit Scroll, and collect Season Points for a host of valuable items after the season ends.

A place in the Hall of Fame awaits the legends of both Ares and Gaia! We will be crowning champions for each server across the following categories:

- Top 3 Levels*
- Top 3 First to Level 300
- Top 3 Subclasses
- Top 3 Magic Level/Melee/Distance/Defending
- Top 3 or First to 100 Gathering/Fishing/Brewing
- Top 3 Bestiary Masters
- Top 3 Boss Killers
- Top 3 Season Points

Winners will receive Premium Cards as a reward for their prowess.

(* By Total Level, counting levels gained before Rebirth).

We believe this new direction offers the best of both worlds and honors the diversity of our player base. We appreciate your passion and your feedback, which have been instrumental in shaping this season.

Create your character now and choose your path! Will you conquer the battlefields of Ares or master the wilderness of Gaia?

See you ingame!

Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff

Thank you for listening to the community! Two worlds is a great option for this season <3

Great decision about 2 servers, this would avoid many future problems!
One thing I was thinking about is the post-season issue. Maybe it would be interesting if all characters from the PVP server were mandatorily transferred to Pharos, and the characters from the non-PVP server were mandatorily transferred to Elysium. Wouldn’t that make more sense?
We would just have to find some way so that these servers don't die quickly due to the low number of active players.

we on pharos will accept this server pvp for 5 month after the end of season you can transfer your character full level (just with exp adjust) to pharos.

heheeheheh lets go?

This a great idea bro :D

Can Administrator improve that? close the world player will can transfer?
The players maybe like for that :D its make nice for all, but someone from pharos need speak too.

Administrator and Lupus Aurelius
I would like to thank the staff for listening to the community.

I know I was one of the people who complained the most in the last post about the decision to make the server full PvP. My criticism came from the feeling that the staff was listening only to players from Pharos and forgetting that the people from Elysium are also part of the community.

Because of this, I will play on the Seasonal server, just like several people from my team. I’m glad the staff is opening two servers even knowing that both will have a lower population. Testing this way is a very good decision.

From my side, I will try to bring new players and streamers, and encourage them to play and help Zezenia grow. Actions like this show that the staff is changing and starting to really listen to the community.

My complaint generated engagement from many others who felt the same way but stayed quiet, not wanting to publicly criticize the staff’s decision.

So once again, thank you to the staff for this decision, for listening to the WHOLE community, and for not excluding the people from Elysium.

Just like I play Tibia Retro Hardcore to humiliate and dominate, I play Zezenia to dominate and humiliate my enemies. If you choose to be against me, that’s your problem — you made your choice, and I will kill you.

Thank you. I appreciate your honesty and your will to contribute in order to improve this game. We will receive all your feedback and criticism as long as it's honest,constructive, and for the true good of Zezenia. May the Gods bless our path.

I’d like to make a proposal regarding the transfer skill. For those currently playing, we know how important this skill is for both Rangers and Warriors. It’s a limiting factor and difficult to obtain through any means other than investing a lot of time. For players who wish to continue playing their characters after the end of a Seasonal server, this can be seen as a barrier. I’ll use the Pharos server as an example, since it had a higher level of skill progression:

A level 300 character with skill 100 is not appealing to new players (considering how long the server has been online), and even for existing players, it’s not great to have to leave characters training for months or even years to reach an acceptable skill level.

If we consider the last server, the top melee skill wasn't very high (reaching 108), and only one person seemed really dedicated to training distance (reaching 116, while others were around 109).

Which brings us to the main point: would it be possible to better make use of the skill gains from Seasonal servers? I understand the idea of reducing them to fit into the target server’s balance, but I doubt many players would find it appealing to transfer a character with skill 100 into a world where others are playing with skills at 150/200. I'm not taking away any credit from those who’ve trained for years — far from it — but if we want to see new players coming in, we need to give them more access to what everyone else already has.

I personally see no issue with players leaving Seasonal servers with 110–120 skill, depending on what they’ve achieved during the season. For example, in Season 7, what would be the problem with a Ranger transferring a character with skill 116 to servers where characters already have 150+ (combined across both worlds) and many players have over 130 skill?

Season Seven
- MELEE:
Top 1 skill level: 108
Top 2 skill level: 103
Top 3 skill level: 102

- DISTANCE:
Top 1 skill level: 116
Top 2 skill level: 109
Top 3 skill level: 107

Season Six
- MELEE:
Top 1 skill level: 124
Top 2 skill level: 122
Top 3 skill level: 121

- DISTANCE:
Top 1 skill level: 128
Top 2 skill level: 126
Top 3 skill level: 124

I feel that all the values from the last two servers are far from outrageous, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see new characters with these attributes being transferred to other servers.

This is just a personal thought — maybe a daydream or something unnecessary — but I do believe it’s worth bringing up. If anything was unclear or I didn’t express myself properly at any point, I’m happy to explain again if needed.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and have a great day.

Gostaria de fazer uma proposta em relação ao skill de transferência, para aqueles que jogam hoje em dia sabemos que o skill é bastante importante tanto para Rangers quanto Warriors, e é um fator limitante e difícil de se conseguir de outras formas se não com bastante tempo, para aqueles que desejam jogar com os personagens após o fim do servidor Seazonal, pode ser visto uma barreira, vou pegar como exemplo o servidor de Pharos por ter um nível mais alto de transferência:

Um personagem lvl 300 com skill 100 não é agradável aos olhos de novos jogadores (levando em consideração o tempo que o servidor esta onilne), e nem mesmo das pessoas que já jogam e tem que deixar o bonecos treinando por meses ou até anos para chegar a um skill aceitável.

Se levarmos em consideração o ultimo servidor, o top skill mele, não foi tão alto (chegando em 108), e o distance teve apenas 1 pessoa mais empenhada (chegando a 116, os outros em 109).

Onde chegamos ao ponto principal, seria possível aproveitarmos esse skill ganho nos servidores sazonais de alguma forma melhor? entendo a ideia de reduzi-los para se encaixar ao mundo em questão, mas acho duvidoso ver pessoas achando benéfico jogar com um personagem skill 100 onde pessoas jogam com outros skill 150/200, não tiro o mérito de quem treina a anos, muito pelo contrário, mas se queremos ver pessoas novas chegando é necessário dar a elas mais acesso para ter o que todos tem.

Não vejo problema de ter pessoas saindo dos seazonais com 110/120 de skill conforme forem conseguindo essa skill dentro do servidor, já que usando o exemplo da season 7, qual seria o problema do Ranger transferir um char com skill 116 para servidores com mais de 150 (somando os 2 mundos) de personagens com mais de 130 de skill.

Season Seven
- MELEE:
Top 1 skill level: 108
Top 2 skill level: 103
Top 3 skill level: 102

- DISTANCE:
Top 1 skill level: 116
Top 2 skill level: 109
Top 3 skill level: 107

Season Six
- MELEE:
Top 1 skill level: 124
Top 2 skill level: 122
Top 3 skill level: 121

- DISTANCE:
Top 1 skill level: 128
Top 2 skill level: 126
Top 3 skill level: 124

Sinto que todos os valores aqui nos últimos 2 servidores não são valores assombrosos e não me assustaria ver personagens novos com esses atributos sendo transferidos para outros servidores.

Isso é apenas um pensamento meu, pode ser apenas um devaneio ou algo um tanto desnecessário, mas acho que ainda deve ser comentado. Caso tenha ficado alguma duvida ou eu tenha me expressando mal em algum momento estou aberto a tentar me explicar novamente se preciso.

Desculpe o incomodo, tenha um bom dia.
