News

A new look for the maps, with day and night

Update 2.9.60 repaints many places: the Zhuojun area, the Jizhou/Youzhou world map, the Immortal Realm, the Tower of Trials approach and staircase, the Altar, Yaochi Lake, Dragon Spring, the star realms and the arenas, with new roofs, stalls, signs, water and flags.

Outdoor Zhuojun and the world map now go through day, sunset, night and dawn in a 2-hour cycle, with lit windows at night. Every fight now shows the background of the map you're on, and the Tower of Trials has 5 new battle scenes.

This update is a bigger download (about 200 MB), so use Wi-Fi when you restart the game.

Thank you for testing with us! Enter code HAPPYTESTING in Perk → Item Code for a gift pack with Zero Points, 28,888 Ingots, 8,888,888 gold and more (once per character; make some room in your bag first).

The Wedding Hall is open

Find the palace gate at the top left of Yecheng Square. The Receptionist sells the wedding clothes and the Red String Pouch, and the Matchmaker God marries couples: one man and one woman, Lv120 or reborn, in a team of two, both dressed up, with a Red String Pouch. Both of you get the Seven Lifetimes Ring, and your spouse shows on your player card.

Also new: Moon-Veiling Diaochan's Ice Crystal Guard and I Command You! now work as they should, and 21 warlord skills got their proper icons.

Yesterday's update brought Synth → Evolution (upgrade mount gear and other items to the next tier), Sweep for single-player dungeons you've cleared, the PvP Shop and working mount equipment.

The Casino is open

Talk to the Casino Doorman in Zhuojun Square and play Big or Small with Gold or Ingots (with a daily limit).

The Feat window now has a yellow Go to on every mission row that walks you to the quest's first location, and you can change your character's name from the Stat window (1,000 Ingots).

Bigger bags, Favourites and Elite Lv250

The bag can now grow up to 1000 slots, and every expansion adds 10 slots. Tap the new star in an item's info window to make it a Favourite: favourites get their own bag tab and can't be sold, discarded or traded by accident.

Elite players can now level up to Elite Lv250, with their own Elite skill points for the Light & Dark skills and the new White Tiger and Black Tortoise summons.

All events open 24 hours a day during testing

While we're testing, every weekly event (all arenas, Deathmatch, Siege War, Tower, Battle Royale) is open all day, every day. Legion War runs every hour and Conquest War every 2 hours, so you can try everything whenever you play.

Also new: Fate equipment and Fate evolution, more Collection Cabinet entries and new Otherworld Proof exchanges in Perk → Otherworld.

Faster first download

The app on this website now downloads the game data much faster on the first start (about twice as fast in our tests). If you're installing for the first time, just use the download button as usual.

Parties fight together

Party members now follow the leader everywhere and fight together in the leader's battles, with joint attacks across the team. New in the Zero Points shop: the Gender Change Scroll.

Accounts are now made on this website

New accounts can only be created on our account page, not inside the game. After you sign up we send a confirmation link to your email; click it and you're ready to log in.

  • You can make up to 3 accounts with one email address.
  • Forgot your password? Use Forgot password and we email you a reset link.
  • Log in on the account page to change your password at any time.

In the game, Settings now has Website and ID Center buttons that bring you straight here.

Big fix update: 47 bugs fixed

Thank you for every bug report! This update fixes 47 problems you told us about, and makes room for a lot more loot:

  • Bag up to 255 slots and the Treasury holds up to 250 items for everyone.
  • Revival pills work in battle, and full-restore items (cakes, roast duck and more) refill HP and SP properly.
  • Party members follow the leader through doors, into dungeons and on warps.
  • Tower of Trials: the second wave and the weekly rewards work.
  • Mail rewards show up in your bag right away, and the trade window shows your own items.
  • You can now watch other players' battles.

Testing period bonus: EXP x20! To keep things balanced, monster drops are halved while the bonus runs. Both will change before the official launch.

The full list is in the changelog.

A day of fixes

We put out five small updates in one day: smoother battles, better warlord stats, working whispers, a friendlier chat filter, mixed-material synth and the new Zero Points item. See the changelog for everything.

The game server restarts for a few minutes during updates. Server notices now show up in the game, so we can let you know when maintenance is coming.

We moved to our own 24/7 server

TS Online Zero now runs on its own server, online day and night. No more waiting for someone's PC to be switched on, and no more Tailscale.

To join, install the new app from the download button over your old one. On the first start the game downloads a small update.

We're in a testing period: characters and progress may be reset before the official launch.

How to install

  1. Create your account on our account page: choose an account ID and password, enter your email and click the confirmation link we send you. Already have an account? Skip this step.
  2. Download the app on your Android phone with the Play now button. It's an APK file of about 90 MB.
  3. Open the downloaded file. Android asks you to allow your browser or file app to install unknown apps. That's normal for any app that doesn't come from the Play Store (see the FAQ). Allow it, then tap Install.
  4. Already have the old app? Just install over it; there's no need to uninstall first.
  5. Start TS Online Zero and tap OK when it offers the download. The first start downloads about 1.5 GB of game data (you need about 5 GB of free space) and takes about 15 to 30 minutes, so use Wi-Fi and keep the app open until it finishes. Later updates are small.
  6. Log in with the account ID and password you created, and play!

You no longer need Tailscale. You can switch it off or uninstall it.

Dungeon Sweep

Cleared a single-player dungeon? Use Sweep to get its reward without entering (uses one attempt). Join puts you into an open room for that dungeon.

Feat: Go to

Open Feat and tap the yellow Go to on a mission row to walk to that quest's first location.

Got a code from an event or from us? Open Perk → Item Code and enter it to receive the reward.

FAQ

Is TS Online Zero free?

Yes. The game is free to play.

Will my character be kept?

We're in a testing period: characters and progress may be reset before the official launch.

How do I get an account?

Create one on our account page and confirm your email. Accounts can't be created inside the game, and you can make up to 3 accounts per email address. If you forget your password, use "Forgot password" on the same page; after logging in there you can also change your password.

Which phones are supported?

Android 8.0 or newer. There is no iPhone version.

Why does my phone warn me about this app?

The game is installed from a file (APK) instead of from the Google Play Store. Android shows a warning for every app from outside the Play Store, because it can't check those apps itself. The warning doesn't mean a problem was found in this app.

To stay safe:

  • Only download the app from tsonlinezero.com. Never install copies that someone sends you through other channels.
  • If Play Protect reports an actual threat (not just "unknown app"), don't install, and tell us.
Do I need to uninstall the old app first?

No. Install the new app over the old one; it updates in place.

The update is stuck or the game says it can't connect.

Check the server status and your internet connection, close the game completely and open it again. If it keeps happening, report it on Discord as described under Community & support.
