Zezenia Online 7.0 is here! This update contains a huge bunch of new content, class balancing, small tweaks and fixes. And of course, it precludes the opening of our new server. Read on for all the details!

As always, you must update your client. The game should automatically patch when connecting, or you can reinstall from the download page.

Steam users: please install the update from the site temporarily. We hope to get the update out on Steam as soon as possible.

The new update

The long-awaited update is finally released. You will find a complete changelog below, but here are some of the biggest changes:

First, death recovery has changed: from now on, you will only be able to purchase back 75% of your losses. We have restored the loss of blessing on death, and reduced the number of premium cards needed to purchase a blessing from NPC Alexander. When dying in the hands of an enemy in a guild war, you will lose 25% less experience, mana and skills than usual.

The defending skill formula for rangers and mages has been balanced, along with various spell tweaks. New quests, spells and items have been added for you to discover. Bosses have received new abilities to make fights more challenging.

Using premium cards to extend your premium time now yields extra rewards based on your active premium time. With more than 7 or 14 days active premium you will receive an extra 6 or 12 hours from each card. Additionally, using a premium card with more than 20, 40 or 60 active days will reward you with a small Halloween souvenir for a limited time.

This is just a taste of what's in the update. For the full list of changes, read on below!

The new server

The new PvP server Novus is opening on Wednesday October 31st, three days from now at 19:00 UTC. See the time for your location here.

You can create a new character in advance from your account page, so that you're ready to start playing right away. We have also lifted the account character limit to make sure that everyone can create a new character.

Don't miss it, and tell your friends! This is a great time to start playing.

The new administration

I'm excited to announce that GM Eden is joining our team as a Game Master and Community Manager. He will help us take care of daily business on the servers, but also work with the Zezenia community to make sure your voice is heard.

Zezenia wouldn't exist without the players, and we hope to entertain you for years to come, steering where you want to go. This update is the first step towards a fresh start, and we can't wait to see where it takes us.

Thank you for the report! This will be fixed with a server restart later. (For now you can pretend this spell is called "Tree Wave".)

wtf are u guys doing? killing the game again?

- disabled using ampoules from level 60
- disabled using vials from level 100
- defending skill of rangers and mages has been reduced

after the shit you did with talents, now this ?? why you don't ask players about changes? we're just a few, and we play because we like the game, the way it is... i'm not playing it anymore and ofc a lot of people will stop unless you revert it, you guys don't like rangers at all isn't it? weapons reworked, wands reworked and buffed...
also, anti virus now report a trojan in this version, there is another source to download?
