Servers in Z Route: Redemption
Players in Z Route: Redemption live on numbered servers. A new server opens when the previous one is full, and a new player enters the newest one after the tutorial. A server starts with a 30 day development period, and its weekday of opening decides when VS and Pandora arrive. This page covers openings, milestones, switching and cross-server events.
How Servers Open
A new server is created automatically when the previous server is full. Because of this, every server has its own age. A fresh server is full of new bases, and an old one has players who have been building toward the Capitol for weeks. After the tutorial, the player enters the newest server.
The character window groups servers into battle zone tabs, such as 59-98 and 1-58, and marks the newest server with a label. A green label shows free space, and a red label shows a busy server. Compare the numbers before you start.
First 30 Days
A server begins with a development period of 30 days. You build your base, unlock heroes and features as your level grows, and meet alliances. After that comes the cross-server stage, where servers compete against each other. Your beginner guide shows what to do in the first days, and the alliance page explains how to join a group.
Server Milestones
One guide lists the server day on which each event arrives in the default season. Most days are fixed. Three events move, depending on the weekday the server opened: Ace Commander, Alliance Competition, Battlefield: Pandora.
| Opening weekday | Ace Commander | Alliance Competition | Battlefield: Pandora |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | Day 8 | Day 15 | Day 15 |
| Tuesday | Day 7 | Day 14 | Day 21 |
| Wednesday | Day 6 | Day 13 | Day 20 |
| Thursday | Day 5 | Day 19 | Day 19 |
| Friday | Day 4 | Day 18 | Day 18 |
| Saturday | Day 10 | Day 17 | Day 17 |
| Sunday | Day 9 | Day 16 | Day 16 |
The fixed milestones are below, counted for a server that opened on a Monday. The first City Conquest comes on day 5, and Capitol Conquest on day 25.
| Server day | Event |
|---|---|
| 2 | Nora's Hunt |
| 3 | Apocalypse Tyrant, Mission Readiness |
| 4 | Alliance Ambush, Escort Truck |
| 5 | City Conquest |
| 7 | City Conquest II, Ambush Upgrade |
| 10 | City Conquest III |
| 13 | City Conquest IV |
| 14 | Ambush Upgrade |
| 17 | City Conquest V |
| 21 | City Conquest VI, Ambush Upgrade |
| 25 | Capitol Conquest |

| 30 | Ambush Upgrade |

Ambush Upgrade steps raise the zombie level for Alliance Ambush, and the Capitol page covers the day 25 battle. Other limited events are on the events page.
How to Change Server
You pick a server when you create a character. One guide describes this route in the game:
- Open profile.
- Open account options.
- Bind the account using an offered method.
- Create a new character.
- Repeat the tutorial.
In the character window, open the battle zone tab you want and choose the server. If you plan to play with friends, agree on the number first and look for an alliance after you arrive.
Cross-Server Events
After the first 30 days, servers meet in group events. Expedition Frenzy draws 4 to 8 servers into a group and pairs them off, and the conquest takes place on Saturday. One guide says the opponent is usually the neighboring server by number, for example 83 against 81. Alliance markers work across server borders, and Arena 3v3 uses one ranking for several servers. The PvP page covers the arena, and the Capitol page covers the weekly cycle. One guide says to keep a shield up on Saturday, because bases without a shield are open to raids from other servers that day. Your own marches and troops in the garrison deserve a check before the weekend as well.
One guide also says that players avoid attacking bases and tiles on their own server and raid younger servers instead.
Server Errors
If a server error stops the game, report it in the game. Open the User Center, choose Feedback and describe the moment the error appeared. Add your server number to the report, and read the tips page for habits that protect your progress.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I change servers in Z Route Redemption?
You change servers by creating a new character. One guide describes the route as: open profile, open account options, bind the account using an offered method, create a new character, repeat the tutorial. In the character window, pick a battle zone tab and choose the server. The new character starts the tutorial again, so decide on the server before you invest in a base.
How do new servers open?
A new server is created automatically when the previous server is full. After the tutorial, the player enters the newest server. The window for creating a character lists servers in battle zone tabs and marks the newest one. A green label shows a server with free space, and a red label shows a busy one, so a new player usually lands on a fresh server with equal starting conditions.
How long is the first period of a new server?
A server starts with a development period of 30 days. After that the cross-server stage begins, with events such as Expedition Frenzy and Battlefield: Pandora. Milestones during the first weeks follow the server day, and three of them, Ace Commander, Alliance Competition and Battlefield: Pandora, depend on the weekday the server opened.
When does VS start on a new server?
The first Alliance Competition, known as VS, depends on the opening weekday. On a Monday server it falls on server day 15, and on a Thursday server on day 19. The table on this page lists all seven weekdays, and the VS page shows the six competition days and their points.
What should I do after a server error?
Report it from inside the game. Open the User Center, then Feedback, and describe what you were doing when the error appeared, such as the stage, the screen or the action. That path is the one the developer gives for questions and problems.
How do servers pair up in cross-server events?
Expedition Frenzy puts 4 to 8 servers into a group and pairs them against each other, with the conquest on Saturday. One guide says the rival is usually the neighboring server by number, such as server 83 against 81. Arena 3v3 is different, because several servers share one ranking there.
