What makes Elysian Zoo different

Story + systems: Drug Den and Territory are actual story chapters, not just grind loops.
Server identity: progress is per server, so each community builds its own legacy.
Player-driven pace: rain, trades, and faction ops shape the night’s energy.
Long-term prestige: Master Prisms and Territory ranks are permanent flex trophies.

If you only read one thing

Catch animals, finish quests, and save rain minutes for busy times. Everything else is depth you can opt into when you want more.
