Best Private Server right now?

The server files are packed with VMProtect and WinLicense. The client is packed with Themida, and uses a second launcher to open the first launcher to even get in game. I assumed that the people who distributed these files had the latest working source but it seems I was wrong. I don't know if Zerodin Games packed the files with Themida or not, but one thing is for sure and that's the that the files are from DZOGame( , ). Since that version no longer exists, getting updates on those files is basically 0% chance. There isn't a guarantee that the WinLicense key won't expire at a certain time either.

Only tried 9ds.onl and zeron. At this point 9ds is probably more fun to play since there are still people playing over here. Zeron has been a ghost town starting couple weeks ago due to lack of admin communication with its own community. Not sure if they will be able to recover.
Haven't try titan so can't comment.

Agree with what you said.ZeroN was good even though people said that they had bugs with disconnects and etc.i never had any problems it's just that many people left since "new" servers opened and they went to test them out and after seeing that they aren't stable(9ds doesn't have a good explanation about how to make an account and the website is buggy some people tried 2 days to even get to download the game but still now it has the most population.And Titan received multiple wipes and extended downtimes and people aren't happy with it right now) and most of those people just gave up hoping for a "good" server and left 9D altogether.
From what I can see and hope(LOL) is that Titan will have some new content and active events with gms/vgms whatever and that may attract people and if ZeroN fixes their problems and give people what they want they might get their population back.
The problem is all of these servers aren't really trying to be the best they can be they are all just trying to be better then the others so they can attract more people and make more money and I get it,it's not free to run a server be it time,money or both spent keeping it up,and I know 9D was a game made from the beginning to be a cash dump from people to make owners big wallets but if it's enjoyable for the costumer it doesn't matter.The server merge into one all powerful god was a good idea but it didn't pan out.
What makes a good server(in my opinion) is stability(uptime,no dc problems,DDoS etc.)stable content(resources,IM items trade-able,op PvP items removal for more balance etc.) and good population not just a lot of people but "quality" people(less scammers,flamers etc.).it's good to have a rivalry between players/leagues etc. But it stays in game.And it takes time for a server to achieve this trust from people,you can't make a good server in 1 week.All servers have their ups and downs but if after several months the server is still "alive" that right there is a "good" server.

*where i said etc. is a place for you to think of what else fits there since I can't think of everything right now
*and im not taking sides with any server,im taking the side of the general 9D lover who just wants to play a great concept of a game that you can't experience in any other of today's games.

Is KR a good server with top content and game breaking exploits?

Is Z9D a good server because it's exploit and corruption free, but it's bound to US files?

Are other servers full of corruption and content shittier than RF's good servers ?

We're slowly moving to redefine our server and let other servers try to do what they can't, aka be cheap simulations of RF, which just won't happen. RF's content is better, does it have exploits ? Yes it does, but a lot of people don't care for exploits or some even profit a lot from them. We will just continue to be as clean as possible.

RF isn't allowed to use all its features on the other hand, they'd be on a better spot if they would be allowed to, thus KR becomes the best. I'd say all servers die the second any KR server(private or not) goes live.

Additionally, we're now open to suggestions regarding pvp concepts. If anybody feels like they are able to come up with a smart system, we're all eyes and years. Our server will become more pvp dominant this time around.

All the poisonous pills that recover HP will be nerfed, a lot of quests will be removed.

We're just cleaning things up and making a smooth server. With proper management we'll get the community back.

I will let Sin handle the communication on our part from now on.

Like I said ZeroN was good and still is.I've never had any problems.I'm more a PvE type although I also PvP after I farm everything there is to farm.My main problem was farming for combines for like 20 tries and failing and other people with more luck trying 5 times and succeding 2 times(just an example) and that depresses any1 and yet im still trying.I saw you guys are changing combines and planning on adding new content and hopefully people will return.

[™Sin™]

There was a patch coming which should increase the combine rate, but its gone now...
I don't why this happened.

Something fresh is coming to Zeron in 2 weeks, maybe a bit more anyway.
I can't say what tho, but it SHOULD be interesting !

The fall of Zeron isn't because it's "bound to US files", it's because of lack of admin involvement.

Yeah, people want patches and more content, but basically doing nothing until that happens is what's killing the community. Basically exp events some weekends (a lot of people are already at cap) and sometimes pk GM event (which is basically a middle finger to non-CK roles). Otherwise not many events are going on.

I know that the KL beads has also made a lot of people leave. A lot of people play privates since they don't want to spend an insane amount of time to grind and farm. They want the fun stuff, asap. Getting the beads is basically minimum a week of farming Tibet bosses for passes (and you have to be lucky to hit first and dont miss).

This together with the lack of GM involvement is why the activity is almost entirely gone, not the fact that we don't have KR files.

I already explained to Bogdy that, the way they handle community is wrong.
I hope they change once this " fresh " thing 'm not allowed to talk about comes.

Bogdey "Advanced clans coming sooooon"

The next day "You will never do Advance clan Mardu, I (Bogdey the great) tried for nearly 40minutes lastnight, its impossibruuuu"

Respect to you though Sin, keep speaking your mind, I hope they listen to you, and you stick around longer than NR did.

I can't even believe it, still no patch.

[bl00dyjustice]

new 9D titan has cloth refinement and working +18 NPC, so they have the newest content here, that's nice!
Btw, who said they can't make Adv clans, I can see Union of Noble Families there

What the hell do you mean you don't know why the patch is gone? You're the goddam Z9D COMMUNITY MANAGER for crying out loud. Z9D staff team has became so lousy to the point that they'd rather chat about who's better and **** on a third party forum instead of help troubleshooting their own players on their own forum.
But hey, what do I know. You guys are too busy and running your server is only a hobby....Even if you guys change your name to Acclaim I wouldn't be surprised either. They were quite good with excuses too.

If you have time to waste go play on ghost towns aka private servers all combined into 1 don't have more then 50 players online.

Just go for the official server maybe is pay2win but so are the private servers, at least there you won't be the only player on a map, and you gonna have full content.

What im saying that i didn't get proper reply from Bodgy when i asked him.
And i do reply on forums, im one of the most active users. Don't judge too fast, i told Bodgy everything i had to say, which could loose my position at Zeron.
But i'm still here.
