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:

Ironborn Mode


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.

New Continent


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.

Updated Fonts


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.

Test Server Bug Bounty


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!

Valentine's Weekend Sales


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.

Event Details


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!

Decorating the Grand Tree

Zezenia Online Forum Screenshot


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...

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: Great Rewards


Zezenia Online website imageAfter 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:
