First - ignore the dozens of comments that brigaded this thread lauding the private server as amazing. As you may have noticed they all tagged their in game names: LutFui[PM] (known in the community as Ernn) ran a “contest” where people that posted positive content on various mediums would get garments as a prize (read: bribe)
Second - this server was advertised as a European based - no RMT allowed, difficult start server.
What our group experienced instead was rampant RMT by players that came from their Asian server (which did allow RMT). This means that roughly three weeks into the server there was still no economy but people were mysteriously obtaining socketed items that logs did not indicate they had made. When we approached Lutfui/Ernn he explicitly told us that he couldn’t ban the player because she did a lot for the community in the form of recording videos and uploading them. He also told us to take pity on her because she lost her job due to covid. At the time of this post Lutfui has now reversed his stance on RMT and it is now allowed on the European server.
After grinding for our characters in the first week, Lutfui/Ernn decided to add Exp mob spawning. He intended, atleast publicly, for it to only be for level 70 characters. What wound up happening was that more Philippino players came from the Asia server and did in one night what took us several days to do - 130-characters by afk attacking an mob in another map. Completely fixing their proficiency and skills.
Philippino players asked for a time change to better accommodate their hours - so after a poorly publicized discord poll, Lutfui/Ernn moved up several events one hour so that it wouldn’t be so late in the Philippines. This actually fucked NA players and inconvenienced some of our EU players because the original event times were already decently accommodating to Philippino players at the expense of EU players.
We started seeing a trend where whatever the Philippino players from the Asian server requested something - it was done. By contrast - when EU players pointed out things that were wrong or suspicious we were told to get fucked.
If you are an EU player I would strongly advise you not to play on a server with such a clear favoritism towards certain demographics. For all intents and purposes this server is effectively an Asia server with worse ping.
On the note of general cons:
It’s clear they don’t have much programming experience as the only things we saw added while we played there were extra / commands that opened up web pages. Any NPCs that were added were poorly copy pasted versions of other already existing NPCs.
Lutfui obfuscated what the socket rate is and refused to share exact numbers with us at the start. When he finally divulged to us what it was he said it was 1/5000 on a meteor upgrade. We asked again three weeks later on a different account and he said 1/2000~. Their website advertises that VIP6 increases your socket chance but according to the numbers he gave us it’s so marginal that it doesn’t even make a difference.
For a while at the start you could mine refined tortoise gems. The discord would then ping in a tortoise channel if someone found a refined or higher tortoise gem. One day we noticed the channel was now saying when people obtained normal gems - after not seeing any refined gems for a while I asked Lutfui whether something was changed and he admitted they had turned off refined Tortoise mining. While I agree with the change - it’s kind of fucked he omitted notifying the community that you couldn’t get refined tortoise gems from mining anymore. This was of course par for the course as the server would be frequently randomly restarted with little to no warning.
Lutfui seems to think that their anti-cheat is phenomenal. We pointed out that running your cheat (or in our case Auto hot key for rebinds) after your client is opened would completely nullify their “anticheat” which is simply a running process name check when you load the client. He banned one of our players for one hour for insisting this was possible.
It’s no wonder to us that a player named LATOS(not the real LATOS) is able to blatantly aimbot. What we are confused about is why nothing is done - when one of our members was accused by a Philippino player of aimbotting he was transported out of a fight in the middle of guild war so Lutfui could duel him. In contrast When we reported the aforementioned player - crickets.
Anyway, this post has already been longer than I had hoped so here is a summary.
Tl;dr this is a Pinoy server with Eu Ping. lutfui is ernn and biased as fuck in favor of Pinoy players. He bends the rules for them and eu players can get fucked. Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

1- I didn't want toxic players like you on my server anyway
2- VIP6 gives an extra socket chance (I can show you the related code)
3- You came to the server, you played for 1 week and said you wanted to go and I said you can go, you came back after 2 days.
4- You cried after every WAR and let the players aimBot etc. you slandered the server by saying
5- I banned you yesterday but you said you still want to continue playing
6- You opened a fake account and told me to sell items, I did not accept it.
7- You reported the characters trying to sell items with real money to me and I warned them.
8- I watched you actively in the game
9.If you don't want to play here I just told you to go, but you still keep doing drama here
10- we are lucky and we got rid of you
Thanks Have a Good day :)
