Which private server is the best and why?

Dkaffe · 07/23/2017, 17:10

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a sticky thread for new-arrivals in our section and I'm asking for your help/opinion on which private servers you prefer to play on and why. I'll also test out your favorite picks to forge my own opinion and then bring everything together in mentioned thread.

If I encounter any post containing something like "you shouldn't play on server x because it's ******, play on server y instead", I'll fire out those infractions in no time!

Don't start any wars here; I'm asking for serious opinions.

Well, depending on the style you like. If you want a server, where you don't have to pay, and instantly join PvP, then your option is

, if you want a PvE server, where you have to grind for months to get a EQ, or eventually cash, then there is p4story.com, if you want a server, which runs on a old patch, 4ancient.com, those are all the most populated server for each type, mentioning other servers with like 30 players is useless I guess, since you won't enjoy that.

~~WoF4Story~~ · 07/23/2017, 17:36

World of 4Story have between 100 and 130 players daily.

Oh.. that title is perfect tinder to start a salty topic.

However, I will speak for P4Story, here are some basic information:

Spoiler

If you think about a thread like that, add a "minimum online time".
For example, to see your server in the thread = a minimum online time of at least 1-2 months should be necessary.
I don't want to sound rude, but no one cares about servers that can't stay online for a longer time.

Well, I guess we have to say thanks - could be a nice thing to see new structure here in this old forum.
If you need further information, just ask =)

Spoiler

Name / Homepage & Contact
P4Story / >imagine link here<

Online since?
Soon 5years.

How big is the playerbase?
P4 has the biggest community of all servers - still increasing (dependent on the current season).

Is the server stable?
This question sounds very normal and should be answered with "Yes" on every server.
Sadly this isn't the case in some servers, same with the teams. On P4 the server & team are stable for years.

Active/Competent support
Sure. However, the contact between the team and the players is very good.
Tickets / requests on Facebook & the offical forum get always a fast answer (dependent on time!).
Also the "Helper" programm on P4 helps to keep up a good contact between creators and players.

There are still a lot of changes/updates?
The "to-do" list never ends. In fact P4 has at the moment the most custom features and improvements.
Some of these things inspired other servers to do them too.

Are there many events?
Yes. There are every month some contests or lotteries.
Sometimes there are "Coupon Events" were you can get some free MoonStones.

PvP or PvE?
Both is possible on P4, but as beginner the PvE factor is much bigger.
Later the daily PvP and unique battle modes include more than enough ways to do PvP.

Is it hard to start here?
No, at least not with some effort. The most players on P4 are "free" players, a lot of things are free here.
There are website coupons for beginner armour + weapons, also some free MoonStones & other items. The unique battle modes on P4 make it very easy nowadays to get at least one +24 item in 1-2weeks. I tested it by myself and met a lot of other players in the past 3years. Nearly all were able to get much things for free, activity is they key to success.
Also, there are new plans to make it more easier for beginners in the future.

How is the balance between classes?
P4 keeps up the old maximum values/PvP items & changed some skills/classes + overall systems.
There are also some custom features to improve your items or the style of your char/companion.
All these things are aleady on the live server for some months or even years.

What about special content?
- on P4 there are some unqiue ways to improve your items or character (also your pet)
- War of Gods (unique PvP mode, works like capture the flag)
- the popular BattleRoyal (unique PvP mode, first on P4)
- new BR matchmaking
- new GuildReward system
- it doesn't change the game, but its' a nice thing - new color effects for mounts/pets/items/characters
- DarkWings, Chakras, BatsCloud
- advanced companion system
- the "Challenge" system to create own tournament rounds (it includes also a new kind of score-ranking which depents on loses/wins)
- some changes in BattleOfWorlds
- advanced possibilities to change the style of items
- advanced "Custom Cloak" system - create your own detailed cloak
- some more little changes to make the life of an Iberian much easier

More?
- later

Yes, that's the reason why I didn't mention the other servers, all the servers I mentioned are online for more than a year, so that is a safe bet.

i think 4ancient is one of best server over 120-150 online players at wars , online from since 2016 , some good features , like Pet system and cool developer

Araz is also okay you can take a look here if ya are looking for newschool ^^

~~Jirkus_~~ · 07/24/2017, 00:04

Well, I just want to take a minute for this new moderator, which is apparently the best that this section ever had, even though he is probably not even a 4Story player, but he is probably the first one, who is doing something for the epvp 4Story community, not giving infractions for sharing opinions like the old ones, very nice.

If you will not let chance to new servers it will never bring any new sv to 4story community

~~Jirkus_~~ · 07/24/2017, 01:17

Yes, and I even talked about it with him, and he said, that if you will contact him, he will reopen your thread, or you can do it yourself.

New servers don't deserve a chance, cuz they simply suck.

Exakan · 07/24/2017, 13:57

Guys, a topic without insults or flame, when was the last time this happened?

To be honest, the idea of the topic was nice - but it ended in a conversation of "who is the best server".
He did the right thing.

No one here is completly against new servers. But there are two important things that should be minded.
At first, the community is little. Everyone who knows the game+community should see the negative fact behind splitting the community into more pieces/servers.
Second thing, we talked more about advertising & the sense of this topic.
Sure, let everyone make his own thread here to show people their work! But, a collection topic like that (or overall respect in the community) should have some requirements to be included. It's simple nowadays to open a new server, but to keep it alive is the most important thing. 1-2 months is a nice start!

As I said above, everyone deserves a chance - if the concept/team is good.
There is always a huge difference in the appearance of the server/his team. I guess we all learned from mistakes like v4 or G4. Even the good things can fail very hard.
However, let everyone make his own thread to show people their server - but to make the idea of Destrox better, a minimum time of 1-2 months is necessary to proof that the server is competent enough to survive.

However guys, I'm curious what happens next.
New mod, the PServers evolve much faster & ZEMI began to move (a little bit..) - could be a nice year.
Maybe ZEMI/Gameforge reads some day this topic to learn something

stotterer09 · 07/24/2017, 16:03

I would prefer if You create a list of servers.
And give some information about each server like play stile(PvP,pve), how long does the server exist so far, a rating showing the down times(between very good and very bad), the client language,..., And your favorite opinion

You should also try 4ancient

~~DatRainer~~ · 07/24/2017, 19:50

Every Server-Owner could write a small text about his server, so someone could make a new thread "Private Server List" where they post it.
