I may or may not be measuring my wall to see how a giant print of this would look on it 🤔

Fun fact, Andy (the co-founder of Zenith) met his wife in an MMO and the adventures they had together were part of the motivation to want to make an MMO that you could “BE IN” like only VR allows.

Improving the Full Body Tracking support for SteamVR, coming this month in Patch 1.2: Legends Untold -
One of our backend service provider is experiencing a network wide outage that is outside our control. We will update you when the situation is resolved with them. We apologize for the inconvenience!
Update: The cloud provider has informed us that this outage is likely to last several hours.
We're really sorry for the inconvenience and hope everything comes back up soon!
We're running into more server issues after tonight's planned restart. In order to diagnose the issues, we're going to have to restart the login server. Shards will be unavailable for a little while. Sorry again for the inconvenience 😖
Major Patch 1.3 is coming soon and will be adding a ton of highly anticipated features to Zenith. But that's not all - we are focusing on increasing immersion within Zenith, making it an even more engaging experience for players. 🙌

If you have ideas, bug reports & other feedback, please make a post here:
We truly value & rely on your feedback to make Zenith better & better. You all have been a huge part in getting us this far & we're so excited to start this next chapter w/ you all!
Get ready Agents! We’re so excited to announce content patch 1.1: The Celestial Throne. The update has dozens of hours of new content including 🔥six new instanced dungeons🔥 filled with interactive puzzles, adversaries, and of course – lots of LOOT!
Planning some exciting Zenith community events soon with some really cool exclusive Zenith merch, etc. as prizes!
To start the first event off next week, would you rather see a cooking challenge, food art contest or type of obstacle course/speedrunning challenge? 🤔
We think the issue with the cloud provider is completely fixed at this point. All shards are back up!
If you see anything behaving weirdly or broken please file a bug report, as always. Sorry again for the inconvenience!
✨ Today starts Zenith Reveal Week! ✨
With Beta 1 starting THIS WEEKEND, we want to show a few sneak peeks each day of just a little of what we’ve been working. Oh, in case you missed it, we're also giving out 1,000 Beta keys this week! (stay tuned for info on that)

We've got a new patch coming out tonight! In order to roll it out, we will shut down the servers at 11:59 PM PST, so about 30 minutes from now. Downtime will last 1 hour.
You will also need to upgrade your game client. The upgrade will become available once the servers go down.✨
We're upgrading our servers so each region will have service impacted for a few hours:
EU -- 7-11am CET
US-EAST -- 7-11am EST
US-WEST -- 7-11am PST
Shards will restart a few at a time (NOT all at once). We think this fix will significantly improve the server stability!
