This is a client-side update on Azusa launcher;

-login problems on new accounts;
-updated rendering to support better particles;
-needed to run Azusa's Revival;

Wait for the server-side update log to know the real in-game changes!

first thanks alot for everyone who have been supporting Azusa up to now, and its time to announce the revival strategies for the game;
It will be an order of fearless changes to the game that will improve most of the commonly flaws seen in this last 2 years of linear story progression we had in this amazing wipe; But I won't move on without knowing the most popular path to take, as this will strongly affect everyone and I really respect the players that still are playing the game and creating amazing roleplays and characters to the story; Keep that inmind that players who have been playing recently will have their vote weighted and will be more considered.
(So keep in mind the direct result here may not be the final result!)

I will try to explain our options; starting with the main change that will be in every option is the change on ARMOR RATING, the game have some settings that affect globally, for example year speed, catch up rate, etc but, this new one will define how much of potential every armors will give, so, if everyone is too strong in the server, we can increase the armor rating and this way keep them on the center lore of the story, regardless of the grind, a god armor will always be scary now, and a golden armor will always be relevant.

Credits/Patreon perks for the game will be reviewed for an overall balancement and everyone's (patreons included) benefit, so we can really have a way better experience.

All old lore will be scratched out, the lore was cool for reading and extra content but they didnt really helped the real rp to move, actually ended up acting more like a weight, so the reviewed lore should be VERY simple, as "Olympian gods fighting for destiny on earth gets mortal body to interact directly with mortals in wars called Azusa".

With that said what we know as Karma bounds are also nearly removed, and gods only obligation with the lore is to fit each other's basic rank duty/god will (explained at character picking); Reapers will be able to kill off PART of their good side, or their good side entirely, it's up to the player. When a reaper is on earth or in Olympo, their power will be weakened kind of like how someone without 8th is weakened in the underworld.

Karma changes also imply that Angels/demons/reapers/gods are able to march their own path. Hades and Athena could ally with one another in a war. Zeus and Hades could partner up to take down Athena or Poseidon, it's entirely up to the players. Keep in mind the Gods of that generation are representation on that specific Azusa; they are up to adapt to the situations going on as long as they dont break their rank duty.

What does this mean for the normal player? This means that if the normal player who doesn't hold a god rank doesn't like what their patron god is doing, they are able to turn against their gods and even declare war against them. Angels, don't like how pushy Zeus is being? You can turn against him. Demons, don't like how Hades just orders you around while hiding in the underworld? You can rise up against him.

Custom Gods will continue being a thing, however main change on them is that now they must be based on greek gods only;

God Vessels: As soon as a god dies, or is abandoned, you no longer have to wait 300 years to get a new god. This process can happen as soon as a new vessel is located (through trials) The vessels however, will have to develop their character to BECOME the god, this means that a vessel can fail and a new one will need to be selected. This includes following the gods will, and obtaining their kamui.

Year speed: With the revival update, the year speed will be much slower. Almost 10x slower than what it has been in the past. This opens more time for character development, and slows down generation farming.

Beastlian change: Beastlian are no longer just related to wolfs. They can be related to anything other than Dragons (Those are draklian only) This includes things found in greek mythology such as Satyrs and other nature spirits.(There will be some default choices, and an option for custom options upon approval)

Training change: When you are in a realm you are not supposed to be in, such as a reaper/spiritual (without vassel) on earth, a living person (without 8th) in underworld, or sealed in a statue, you will be able to gain stats, but it will be at 1/10th the normal rate.

The votes options will be applied through the game's discord #announcement channel! so join:

Persephone, queen of underworld, the goddess of seasons, brought the summer to our real world; but in Azusa she also have a lore-reference! And its time to meet her story within our roleplay universe!

Ages ago, before the creation of Earth, and before the wars started; the creation used to live in Olympo, ruled by the Almighty Zeus. Back then, Hades was the Seraphin (Highest Angel position), and was known for his pure heart and perfect wisdom. However there was another very powerful Angel, Persephone;



Persephone was so powerful that she have awakened the 9th sense and had what we recognize as a perfectly developed God Will, as the places she visited in Olympo, the sun shine brighter, flowers bloom, the fields were filled with life and even humans rejoiced her presence; and where she wasn’t, eventually ended up being colder and less exciting, and for this reason, everyone waited patiently for her visit;

She was powerful enough to be recognized as the Seraphin, but she always hide her true powers, because she was in love for the actual Seraph, admiring his wisdom, she didn’t want him to lose his position.



The Seraphin always waited patiently for the return of Persephone to the top of Olympo, both used to meet at the same place, and there, used to grow the most beautiful garden in Olympo, filled with white roses that only bloomed once a year, when both Angels used to meet;

However, as everyone know, this is a long forgotten love story, a love that went wrong, but what exactly happened?
What made Persephone, become the Goddess of Corruption? and how Hades, that was once so pure and wise, become the most known cruel mind on our universe?



[h3]About Event[/h3]

Specific Admins will be playing key characters, while other players will be able to create Angels or Humans in the PAST OLYMPO map, and the interactions and how the story goes will be the definition of the backlore of these gods in each specific server;

Keep in mind that KEY EVENTS will -happen- as these are headed events, only way to real stop a key event from happening, is by being a real time traveler.
This is a story telling event, and of course due to the players participation it will end up being different from each server!

How to join?

Simply create a character, Angel or Human and pick the PAST OLYMPO spawn point, you can do it through NGs or simply create an alt to participate.

Characters that dies in the past event, can continue to play in the underworld; but, you must understand that since the event zone, to the present underworld, over 500.000 years have passed, so your memory as well wouldn’t be that clear, (this doesn’t change the fact that you lived in that past tho, so, feel free to correlate)

What about Olympian Armors?


Yes, infact the Armors wasnt created so long in the past, but, we will play through the moment of the creation, so, I ask for patrons or those who can obtain armors to don’t, untill Zeus actually create the olympian armors; (wich will be a key moment, so it will happen).

Olympo Organization

Back then Olympo was way more organized then what we are used to see, we will have ranks, sections, and jobs defined properly, humans ranks, leaders and vessels are all allowed to happen;

The Event Characters will be played by possible Admins or trusted players, capable of interpretating well the given role and knowing the importance of the key events to move on toward our history and that know how to participate well on “headed events”.
