Which Games Have The Best PRIVATE Servers Running

Beside WOW What other games have an awesome private server scene?

idc if the game is p2w.

Slowly increasing 1 week to max lvl or lower

Pure PVP or pure VE can be used, or both.

Looking for almost anything that has a good steady pop at Endgame idc for early

Many people don't realize it has a better private server than the official one. I feel embarrassed to say this here but...

GameZ BDO was a lot more enjoyable than official BDO for me. Server list

It's x10, x5, and x5 at all prices.

Not only are they not extraordinary, but they are also much quicker than official.

Is the server populated?

Metin2 has tons of popular private servers, don't know any other game with active ones.

A few should have 1000+ online pop, private often not very p2w, if so then cheap), and old game, doesn't work like others. i.e. you can have fun below max level(there are a few key levels that are mostly played at like 35,42,55,75,86,99), but max lvl pvp is usually more popular on private servers i guess, takes 1d-1month to max, depending on server settings

I would argue that this is a bad thing when comparing private servers. Many players want to pay rates that are as close as possible to what the developers intended.

Tibia

There are many servers that have a higher exp rate than others, but also servers that can completely change the game.

this. OTS can be used to create pokemon, dragon ball, and naruto games.

You could probably have old school runescape as a Open Tibia Server.

ArcheRage is an archeage private servers. I have not played it but i heard it is more popular then the official servers and less p2w.

Unfortunately, it's still P2W and full Russian bots.

Lineage 2!

Alot playerbase (+1000 online).

It takes about a week to reach max lvl.

You'll most likely have to choose. Most private servers are made from older games that use the leveling as the content, instead of the endgame. If you take less than one week to level, player retention will be very poor.

I would disagree. A lot of MMOs had an end-game grind that was quite steep, and a leveling grind. Exp rates can be high, but drop rates for items can be very standard. RO is the one I prefer. Even if you reach max level in 30 seconds, it can take years to get all your gear up to +20. Serverlist101 That's why RO is my favorite.

It is difficult to find items to upgrade. The rates are determined accordingly.

The classics are a great place to find many players.

Ragnarok Online has two big private servers, one catering to super high rates, one with lowish rates.

Lineage 2 also has ridiculously popular private servers, one in particular boasts over 3000 concurrent users.

which ?

This relatively new DAOC (Phoenix) private server is in beta and has had a good population considering there will be a wipe. Most people believe the pop will be healthy once it launches.

Ah, so that's what happened to Uthgard. Shame, Uthgard is a better server. Phoenix is just another private servers with tons of custom modifications and shit. RvR is probably a shit show with all those changes. I skimmed thru some class changes and they've added a 6 second fixed cast time cure nearsight to Clerics... Who would ever stand there for 6 seconds to cast that? Who? And who was the dev at phoenix who thought that was good to be added to the game?

I listed everything I knew of that had a great community, but not necessarily more than 1K+, as the US retail versions are no good. Easily low to high hundreds with a stable community.
