PavZ is back. The gamemode is live again on a new Discord, and the part you cannot see from inside the zone - everything that records what you did in there - has been rebuilt from the ground up.

The Gamemode Is Live Again

The zone is open. Desert and Valley are both running, 24/7.

That sounds simple written down. Getting there meant standing the whole thing back up on new infrastructure and making sure it stayed up, rather than coming back for a weekend and falling over.

Everything Counts Again

The bigger piece of work this month was invisible: the stat pipeline.

Every session you play, every zombie you put down, every crate you crack and every air drop you call is now recorded against you again. Sessions, kills, loot - all of it flowing into the backend and tied to your identity.

None of it is for its own sake. Leaderboards, seasons and squads all need this to exist first. If the zone is not keeping score, none of that can be built on top of it. This month is the foundation everything else gets stacked on.

A Busy First Month

The zone saw 1,076 players across 5,243 sessions in July. Between them: 38,339 zombies put down and 54,462 crates looted.
