The ninth season of Zezenia Online will come to an end on Saturday, May 9th, 2026 at 19:00 UTC. Thank you to all players who participated in Season Nine, and congratulations in advance to the Hall of Fame winners, who will be validated and announced shortly after the season ends.
Please read the following information carefully, as Aegis and Caldera will follow different paths after the end of the season.
Aegis Continues
After reviewing player activity, feedback, and the current needs of the PvP community, Aegis will remain online after the end of Season 9 as a PvP game world.
This means that the seasonal competition, Hall of Fame race, and seasonal rankings will end as scheduled on May 9th, but Aegis itself will continue. During the first 30 days after the end of the season:
* Aegis will have 7 days of 3x Experience Rate.
* After that, Aegis will continue with a 2x Experience Rate, matching the Pharos Game World.
* The skill rate will match Pharos with a 2x rate.
* The Staff will monitor activity, PvP participation, economy, reports, and overall server health.
Aegis will be reviewed every 30 days. Based on measurable activity, PvP health, economy, abuse monitoring, and player feedback, the Staff will decide whether Aegis should continue, receive further adjustments, or be scheduled for a future merge into Pharos.
If a merge into Pharos is planned, the date and rules will be announced in advance.
End of Season
Season 9 ends on Saturday, May 9th, 2026 at 19:00 UTC. At this time:
* The Caldera Game World will close and transfers to Elysium will open.
* The Aegis Game World will restart briefly to end seasonal systems while remaining online as a PvP world.
* The Season Points Shop will open with Premium Items, rare exclusives, and everyday supplies.
* The Hall of Fame winners will be validated, announced and rewarded shortly after the season ends.
Ironborn Mode Generally Available
Ironborn Mode will become generally available for new game characters on all game worlds including Aegis, Elysium and Pharos immediately once the season ends.
Pre-Ending Checklist
Before Season 9 ends, please make sure you have completed the following steps: For all Season 9 players:
* Redeem your seasonal rewards, such as Pet and Outfit Scrolls, from NPC Rewardo outside the Ellarian depot.
For Caldera players transferring to Elysium:
* Deposit any gold from your inventory or house into your bank, or it will not be counted toward the allowed transfer balance.
* If your character is level 300 or higher, equip the set you wish to transfer to Elysium in your character equipment slots.
Please review the Season 9 Announcement for full information about transfer restrictions and seasonal rules.
Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff
