July 2023 - The Reset

[Panda 301]

 

On behalf of Zenyte, we would like to say thank you to everyone who participated in the most recent discord polls. We have been working diligently over the last few weeks to capture as much feedback as we can from the community and have the following announcements:

1.) We conducted a poll and majority of the players who voted would like to see a server reset.
2.) We conducted a poll and majority of the players who voted would like to see us launch a Zenyte without a lot of the custom items.
3.) We had a respected developer offer his services to maintain the infrastructure of the game, client and website making them much easier to update.
4.) We had one developer offer to return who has worked on this project in the past.
5.) Jade has offered to continue her assistance with the development side.

With that being said, Your username/password and total donated will not reset. The account profiles will remain with the same usernames/passwords/2fa/donator rank but will be completely reset, requiring to pick a game mode and an exp multiplier again at tutorial island.

Now in terms of changes to expect for the upcoming reset, here is the current change log:
