INTRODUCTION TO THE 4ANDARON PRIVATE SERVER
The 4Andaron Private Server is an independent project developed by a small group of people (currently 1 developer and 1 dedicated tester, with occasional help from others their help is incredibly welcomed and valued). This is both a labor of passion and a significant challenge, as creating and sustaining a high-quality game server requires constant effort, time, and refinement.
We are seeking dedicated testers and collaborators willing to provide constructive feedback and help shape the server into a truly unique and enjoyable experience. Key areas where community support is needed include balancing drop systems, farming areas, item crafting mechanics, and general gameplay concepts.
Despite the challenges, the project already offers a wide range of unique features, technical optimizations, and content expansions that distinguish it from the original version.

DEVELOPMENT STATUS
Preparing this server is taking an immense amount of time due to its complexity, our personal lives and work, and the level of precision we demand. We dont want to release a server that isnt fully working or properly shaped.
We sincerely apologize for keeping some people waiting and appreciate your patience and understanding. Unfortunately, the final release date still cannot be revealed, but we will keep you updated.
CONCLUSION
The 4andaron Private Server is a mix of nostalgia, modernization, and innovation. While grounded in the classic 3.4 patch, it incorporates cutting-edge graphics, new gameplay mechanics, enhanced balance systems, and quality of life improvements that make it distinct from the original version.
Dedicated testers, creative thinkers, and passionate players are warmly invited to participate. Your feedback, bug reports, and suggestions will help 4andaron grow into a polished and enduring experience.
We also believe having more members in our Discord server, with active discussion, would be incredibly helpful. The more voices we hear, the better we can understand what players really want.
