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.

10 hours ago, Jett said:In my honest opinion, I feel like the main concern for Zenyte is available content. Although server migration and upgrades to the infrastructure are important, content on Zenyte has been lacking for a while now. Compared to other servers out there now, Zenyte doesn't have as much content as I believe it should and getting this content added should be priority #1 going forward. I have no ill feelings towards anyone involved with Zenyte and I'm confident the team here is very competent.
One more thing I want to say is that I think the forums can use some sort of overhaul. In my opinion, either redesigning the forums or getting rid of it entirely is the best move. Even if there isn't a plan to get rid of it, doing some sort of redesign is definitely needed. The current forum design is hideous to navigate and the UX does not make it enjoyable to use. The best move for a redesign would be to create a new theme and make it 1:1 or as close to the rest of the web design. It isn't hard to do, it just takes someone who is competent of doing it.
Again, I'm not here to bash or trying to make a fool out of anyone. I want to give my thoughts on ways that Zenyte can be improved going forward. I appreciate anyone taking the time to read me ramble.
TL;DR: server's content and forums need an extreme overhaul
Thanks for the feedback Jett. We agree, our goal with Zenyte is to progress the game forward and continue to bring new content to the community. We feel the best way to do this is to reset. This will allow us to remove the custom content that was added as a 'bridge' for when we did not have regular game updates. So going forward our goal is to get the newer OSRS content added.
For the forums, I agree that it is quite clunky. However this will not be our focus prior to reset. This may be a focus after we get Zenyte up and running again. Our main priority now is to put all of our efforts into getting Zenyte ready for reset so that we can all get back to progressing our characters!

This feedback thread is long overdue.
I just wanted to make a post congratulating the manager @Gepan for literally saving Zenyte when everyone else walked away. It takes a special kind of person to take charge during times of adversity and an even more special person to create positive change during those situations. Matt has gone above and beyond what I personally though was capable for Zenyte in recent months and I wanted to make sure that is publicly recognized. The senior management team, including @Jakeyall have done a fantastic job collaborating and implementing changes that have been overwhelmingly positive within the community and they deserve tons of praise. What an incredible job you guys have done and I hope you continue to keep making Zenyte the special place that it has always been.
Hats off to you guys!

The devs can weigh in on this more, but as of rn I think the way its set up is that name changes have the potential to screw up game files / forums accounts so it isn't really feasible.

I really like this post. It provides constructive feedback without being hostile towards anyone. This is an example of something that we all (myself included) could take notes on. It shows a lot about your character and how you will excel in whatever it is you continue with IRL. Keep fighting the good fight and it was a pleasure to meet you during our time on Zenyte.
As a side note, I really appreciate the kind words. I had a lot of fun with you on the team and I would like to think all of our contributions have made a positive, lasting difference on what the game is today. Before you head off into IRL fully, I would like to say: make sure you talk to Oziach to enable your drops
Good luck out there Ruby!

Only requires ACP access and about 1 minute of time to implement this

1 hour ago, Life said:My job isn’t to become your friend, or talk to everyone everyday about whatever. This is a business, we’re co-workers, and of course I enjoy talking to people but I don’t outgoing interact with people because of favoritism, or in the event that they resign/get demoted, stab you in the back, etc.
This right here is the difference between a manager and a leader

4 hours ago, Hexae said:Hi @Krigeris,
From what I have already read on Discord (#suggestions), adding the ability to build what we could call a ''Zenyte portal'' inside a PoH was suggested by @Hxrdcoreand I believe, just like Hxrdcore and you, that adding this feature to construction would be a great addition to the server. To go even further with your suggestion, I would personally like to have few teleports available in the Nexus portal while not being, at the same time, added to the Zenyte portal we currently have at home. I feel like it would add more sense and make it more special. For example, teleports unlocked by the scrolls could be one of this feature (I say could, don't throw me tomatoes me please).
There is already an object (the original zenyte portal) made for this. It is destiny and has been suggested since server release. Zenyte portal is a must in the house.

Good luck with your future endeavors and thanks for your contributions to Zenyte over these 15 months. Sorry for being so harsh on you. While I do believe what I said was true about your activity over the last couple months, I truly dont know what goes on behind the scenes in your life and I apologize for letting my frustrations get the better of me when trying to address those frustrations. I obviously didnt handle it as well as I could have and should have. Your work in the early days of Zenyte helped shape it into a top tier server and you should be proud of that.
Best of luck to you

Goodbye lads. Thanks for making this game some of the best memories for me.
You can add me on discord at: Panda Scape#3001 if you wish to keep in touch

Support all the way. Like you said, with Amythest not being profitable this shouldnt be an issue. I think putting it behind a lower tier donator rank would be good.
-
People saying "copy and pasted from wiki - bad guide."
The fact is, 90% of players are too lazy to go to the OSRS wiki and look up the information and instead flood the help cc with repeat questions. Therefore, a guide on the Zenyte forums that players can reach can only be beneficial.
Thanks for doing it

Skilling update #1:

Hello and welcome to my progress thread!
As you may have seen, I switched my moderator crown over to my 'Iron Panda' account because I finally maxed 'Panda' and needed a new challenge. The account is a 25x Hardcore Ironman and I hope to keep it hardcore as long as possible
I will update this log as I gain levels and drops. I hope you enjoy!
Do I still have my HC status? YES (3/22/20)
99 Firemaking - 03/20/20
Skilling Update #1: 99 Thieving and other gains

Looks like some juicy loot. Congrats mate!

Welcome back dude! Glad to see ya

HCIM is supposed to be a challenge! Thats what makes it fun. There will always be risk associated with these types of accounts. As others mentioned, there are ways to avoid dying to this and I would recommend using them
Sapphire - $10
Emerald - $50
Ruby - $150
Diamond - $250
Dragonstone - $500

Zenyte - $2500
