Private server mmorpgs: The 16 Best MMO Private Servers

The 16 Best MMO Private Servers

Pleasing the MMO crowd is a Sisyphean task. We, MMORPG players, are a picky bunch. We have expansions, but we crave Vanilla content.

We have so many MMO games to choose from, but we keep coming back to the same ones.

That’s why MMO private servers exist. Some might look at these rogue servers as a free ride and they are not wrong.

However, private servers are more than that. They offer a different experience, whether it’s the original game capped at a certain expansion or the altered gameplay with custom features.

Below is our list of our favorite MMORPG private servers.

  • Original Game: Blade and Soul
  • Period: Level 55 and Hongmoon level 15
  • Released: 2020
  • For fans of Martial Arts MMOs

Rebellion is a private server for Blade and Soul

Rebellion is a private BnS server operating since 2020. Characters are capped at level 55 and Hongmoon level 15. Chapter 1. The Encroaching Darkness is the last quest in the storyline available on Rebellion.

Players can create up to three characters and they receive a level 50 voucher for each of them. The cash shop offers premium cosmetics but no pay-to-win items.

Blade & Soul Rebellion offers the original B&S experience without the latest content updates and changes that didn’t sit right with all the players.

The community is active and the Discord channel has all the needed info.

  • Original Game: Runescape
  • Period: OSRS with extra features
  • Released: 2014
  • For fans of Old-school MMOs

Redemption is a custom Runescape server

Redemption is a private RuneScape 317 server. It’s a custom server which means that you will see some features that aren’t part of the original game. Redemption has unique NPCs, items, weapons, armors, and more.

It offers three game modes: normal, hardcore, and ironman. Players can purchase optional membership to unlock benefits.

Redemption is running since 2014. The server has an active player base that has a say in deciding new features and game additions. Most of the players are RuneScape veterans that are not happy with the official game, whether it’s RuneScape 3 or Old School RuneScape.

  • Original Game: MU Online
  • Period: Season 1
  • Released: 2021
  • For fans of Isometric MMOs

MU private servers can offer an alternate experience to the original Webzen servers

MU Global Evolution is a Season 1 Classic progression server for MU Online, the veteran MMORPG that was the bomb in the early 2000s.

The official version is still up and running under Webzen but for those that prefer the original gameplay, we have MU Global Evolution.

The private server features a double XP rate, three playable classes, a level cap of 400, and six open maps.

The player base is not huge but it’s enough to keep the server running. Regular events and updates are a good sign that MU Global Evolution gets plenty of attention.

  • Original Game: MU Online
  • Period: Season 17
  • Released: 2021
  • For fans of Isometric MMOs

MU Global is a Season 16 MU Online private server with customization and resets. Players can reset each time they reach level 400. It takes more than 50 resets to have a chance on top maps with challenging monsters.

MU Global implements customization and changes to alter the original gameplay. Leveling is easier and each map has various facilities. Quality of life improvements includes the option to sell unwanted items without visiting vendor NPCs.

The server has a healthy population peaking at around 1k daily users.

  • Original Game: Lineage II
  • Period: Original game
  • Released: 2019
  • For fans of Lineage, Korean MMOs

L2 Reborn is a Lineage 2 Interlude server operating since 2019. It’s a classic L2 experience that caters to the hardcore Lineage 2 player base.

The private server keeps the original retail gameplay with the normal XP rate, no pay-to-win features, no dual boxing, and no bots. It has a strict anti-RMT (real money trading) policy, although some say that RMT may happen inside clans. L2 Reborn has an active community with 2k daily online users which is a lot for a private server.

L2 Knight proposes an alternate L2 experience with new classes and systems. It’s an interesting concept that is worth a shot.

  • Original Game: Rusty Hearts
  • Period: Original Version
  • Released: 2015, Currently in Beta
  • For fans of Anime MMOs

Rusty Hearts was shut down but the community has brought it back

Rusty Hearts lived for three years only but that was enough to make an impact on the handful of people that started the Revolution private server.

The project focuses on PvP balance with PvE content. Players have the chance to experience the original hack-and-slash gameplay but the ultimate goal is to create a custom Rusty Hearts adventure with new content and features.

The updates include the removal of pay-to-win features. Revolution also takes care of bugs that were in the original version. Heck, it looks like these die-hard fans are doing a better job than the original developers.

  • Original Game: World of Warcraft
  • Period: Wrath of the Lich King
  • Released: 2021
  • For fans of Classic World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King

Chomiecraft is a Wotlk era WoW private server

The popularity of WoW Vanilla and TBC private servers has somewhat decreased now that we have official servers but they are not entirely gone.

Chromie Craft is a new WoW Wotlk private server. It is a progression server with content made available in phases. If you ever want to check out the first two WoW expansions and advance no further than Patch 3.3.x, Chromie Craft is a good choice.

The people behind the project promise to keep things fair play for all users with no game benefits unlocked with donations and other pay-to-win features.

  • Original Game: World of Warcraft
  • Period: Classic
  • Released: 2021
  • For fans of Classic World of Warcraft

Turtle WoW is classic WoW with extra features added

What if The Burning Crusade was never released and the developers just kept on adding content and features to WoW Vanilla? Turtle WoW is the mirror universe WoW that never had an expansion.

First thing’s first, this is a PvE server and the new content is all PvE.

This is for people looking to chill, quest, and take care of their garden. What? Garden? That’s some MoP stuff right there. Well, in Turtle WoW gardening came to Vanilla.

Extra content includes new races, new Warcraft III-based storylines, Nerubian world bosses, a Mirage Raceway event, survival skills, and more.

  • Original Game: Everquest
  • Period: Planes of Power
  • Released: 2016
  • For fans of Old-School MMOs

The TAK Project lets you enjoy EQ and its first four expansions

The Al’Kabor Project is a private server for Everquest that was spawned by the shut down of the Al’Kabor server, Everquest’s official Mac server.

Most old-school EQ players prefer the game with only its two first expansions, Ruins of Kunark and Scars of Velious, but the Al’Kabor Project includes the game’s third and fourth expansions as well, Shadows of Luclin and Planes of Power.

This means that some features are available that make the game a bit more causal friendly than the truly old-school servers, including PoK book for easier travel and the Bazaar (EQ’s version of an Auction House).

The Al’Kabor Project also allows players to multibox.

  • Original Game: Final Fantasy XI
  • Period: Treasures of Aht Urhgan era
  • Released: 2018
  • For fans of Final Fantasy, Old-school MMOs

Eden takes FFXI players to Treasures of Aht Urhgan

From the many FFXI private servers out there, we have chosen FFXI Eden because it’s one of the veteran servers and the people behind it seem to be serious about their job.

FFXI Eden includes the first three expansions and sets the level cap at 75. The XP rate is 1x. This is as close to 2007 Final Fantasy 11 retail as you’ll ever get.

There are a few minor quality of life improvements but the gameplay is just like in the pre-Wings of Goddess era.

If you are looking for Final Fantasy XIV private servers, we hate to break this to you but they don’t exist.

  • Original Game: Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
  • Period: As the game was when it was shut down
  • Released: 2013, Currently in Development
  • For fans of Old-school MMOs, Everquest

Vanguard was shut down in 2014

When Vanguard was originally released back in 2007. The game never found much success despite being made by many of the same developers that had made Everquest, mostly due to the game being full of bugs and issues at launch.

In time these bugs were fixed and Vanguard turned into a fantastic game with plenty of unique features like the Diplomacy card game. It was too late though and Vanguard never was able to maintain a big player base and in 2014 it was finally shut down.

The game can still be enjoyed through the VGOEmulator. It can be played but is currently in development.

  • Original Game: Asheron’s Call
  • Period: As the game was when it shut down
  • Released: 2019
  • For fans of Old-School MMOs

ACEmulator brings back the legendary MMO, Asheron’s Call.

ACEmulator is another private server for a game that has officially shut down, Asheron’s Call.

The game was originally developed by Turbine and released back in 1999 when it was the only real competitor to Everquest for a few years.

Like many other veteran MMOs, Asheron’s Call still has a dedicated hardcore fanbase, some of which you can still find playing on ACEmulator.

  • Original Game: City of Heroes
  • Period: City of Heroes
  • Released: 2019
  • For fans of City of Heroes, Superhero MMOs

City of Heroes is one of the most beloved superhero MMOs of all time

City of Heroes is one of the dead but not forgotten MMORPGs. The game ran from 2004 until 2012 when the official servers went offline.

In 2019, the developers released the CoH code which made possible the rebirth of the game in the form of the City of Heroes Homecoming private server. COH Homecoming builds on the original gameplay.

We have quality-of-life updates such as custom XP rates and the possibility to switch alignment whenever.

The Sentinel is a new class exclusively available in Homecoming. The server has an active player base so it’s worth checking it out.

  • Original Game: Everquest
  • Period: Classic, Kunark, and Velious
  • Released: 2009
  • For fans of Everquest, Old-school MMOs

Return to the Commonlands tunnel in Project 1999

EQ Project 1999 brings back the original 1999 EQ experience. The private server operates under legal permission from the Daybreak Game Company, the studio that was known until 2015 as Sony Online Entertainment.

EQ Project 1999 features the first three continents of the game world and a level cap of 60. It has the original game interface and mechanics. EverQuest is a title from the first MMORPG era.

Many MMO developers have EQ roots, whether as players or as contributors.

This is a non-profit emulation server with no pay-to-win features. It’s a fan-driven project endorsed by the company which means that the servers aren’t in any danger.

  • Original Game: Warhammer: Age of Reckoning
  • Period: Original game plus new content
  • Released: 2014
  • For fans of Warhammer, PvP MMOs

Return of Reckoning lets you resume the never-ending battle between Order and Chaos

Warhammer Online was a short-lived MMORPG. It ran for five years only but that was enough to gather a loyal and stubborn fan base.

Warhammer Return of Reckoning private server has been up since 2014 and it’s doing great, thank you for asking.

The private server allows players to enjoy iconic Warhammer Online features such as open-world massive PvP interactions but also new content.

The developers are making regular game updates. PvP events are hosted each week.

There is no cash shop so players cannot facilitate their way to success.

  • Original Game: Star Wars Galaxies
  • Period: Original Game plus extra features and content
  • Released: 2016
  • For fans of Sandbox MMOs, Star Wars

SWG Legends brings back the original SWG experience plus new content

Star Wars Galaxies is one of the best sandbox MMOs ever. The game was shut down when Star Wars: The Old Republic was released back in 2011, but thankfully private servers like SWG Legends brings it back.

The game lets you play as a Jedi, Bounty Hunter, or anything you want really. Players can build their own buildings and even cities which are run and operated by the players.

SWG Legends is developed by a group of dedicated fans and even brings out new content.

The Complete List Of Rogue Servers For Dead MMOs 2022

It’s always a sad day whenever an MMO is shut down. Whether it’s because of licensing issues, a dwindling playerbase, or a shuttered studio, there’s a community out there struggling to come to terms with the loss.

Sometimes publishers keep their game’s servers running in maintenance mode, but when this isn’t the case players will take it upon themselves to resurrect the virtual worlds they were turfed out of.

The teams behind these projects are volunteers – due to legal rights issues they cannot make money from their efforts. Yet, their role in preserving MMO history is a vital one, and for that, they should be commended.

Some of these rogue servers, emulators, or private servers are rebuilt from the ground up using only the game’s client-side assets, whereas others are a result of the game’s source code having been made public either officially or via a leak.

There are of course private server projects for games which are still running in an official capacity. This article will however only list private server projects for games whose official servers have been sunsetted.

Disclaimer: The vast majority of these projects are distributing unsanctioned software which could potentially contain malware. MMO Folklorist takes no responsibility for any malicious software distributed by individuals or groups mentioned in this article. Please ensure you do your own research before downloading any files!

Age of Empires Online

This cartoony version of the ground-breaking RTS series probably wasn’t the right direction for the franchise to take at the time of its release. Now that we have a real AoE4 however, there’s a certain charm to AoE Online. No wonder then that the game has been revived by a team of fans. Project Celeste brings the game back to life with new content and events.


Asheron’s Call

The original Asheron’s Call has a well-established emulation community which has been recreating the game since Turbine closed the live servers in 2017. The two main open-source emulation projects are ACEmulator and GDLEnhanced. Both projects recreate a highly playable experience with content and features which are comparable but different.

The ThwargLauncher tool is used to access servers running both versions of the emulated client. There are many servers to choose from, each featuring a variety of different rulesets, content, and playerbase sizes. Popular server lists can be found on TreeStats and AsheronDB.

At present, there are no playable servers for the game’s sequel, Asheron’s Call 2: Fallen Kings. However, there is an emulator with very limited functionality that can be used to explore the game world (there is no combat, quests, or NPCs). Head over to the game’s unofficial Discord community to gain access to the client.

Auto Assault

Described as a vehicular combat MMO, this was definitely one of the most unique games to come out of the genre’s mid-2000s boom. It couldn’t find a sustainable audience and shuttered after only a year. An emulator is in the works, but it’s been left spinning its wheels until more help comes on board.

Battlestar Galactica Online

A playable emulator for Bigpoint’s browser MMO is currently in public testing. It isn’t feature complete, but it’s not far off. Check out their Discord if you want to jump in.

The Chronicles of Spellborn

Having only been live for under two years before being taken offline, Spellborn was one of those MMOs which wilted quickly in the late-2000’s rush to publish a WoW-killer. If you ever wanted to play this “rough diamond” as the Spellborn Reborn team have referred to the game, you can head over to their site to get on board their open beta.

City of Heroes

In 2019 when the news that a private server for City of Heroes had been secretly operating for several years after the game’s 2012 demise, players of the beloved MMO were shocked. The story rippled throughout the entire gaming sphere, becoming the most widely reported story on private servers since Blizzard shut down the World of Warcraft private server Nostalrius in 2016.

It was a messy affair, but one which ultimately ended up with a feature-complete version of City of Heroes finally being widely playable once more. There’s now a choice of servers available, with the Homecoming server proving to be the most popular. Almost all of these rogue servers offer custom rulesets and content.

There were discussions held between members of the emulation community and NCsoft with regards to some kind of official sanctioning on the game’s rogue servers, but these seem to have ultimately proved fruitless.

Darkfall

Rise of Agon is an official revival of Darkfall in that the team have been granted the rights to the IP. Still, the team are currently working on a volunteer basis, so this is certainly a community led passion project.

Defiance

As Defiance (and it’s semi-reboot Defiance 2050) only shut down in 2021 it’s no surprise to hear that efforts to create an emulator for the game are not very far along in the development process. Still, if you want an early look at what the team are planning, you can head on over to the Project Defiance Discord channel.


Dragon Ball Online

Although this MMORPG based on the renowned anime series never made it to the west, its storyline and character designs have informed the franchise in myriad ways. Dragon Ball Online’s direct successor was the multi-platform Dragon Ball: Xenoverse – a fighting game with MMO elements. Its sequel is still receiving regular updates, but those looking to play the original MMO are in luck.

Fan translations for the game began almost as soon as it was released in Korea, and English language private servers have been operating for a number of years. Popular servers include DBOG Revival, DBOUniverse Revelations, DBO Crisis, DBO Unchained, and DBO Hope. All of them feature custom content.

Dungeon Runners

There were efforts to resurrect this F2P MMO from NCSOFT, but they’ve gone dark. There’s a community Discord if you have any interest in reviving these efforts.

Earth & Beyond

The lifespan of this early sci-fi MMO from Westwood Studios and EA was cut mercilessly short just two years after its 2002 launch. The game has since been revived by the team at Net-7, where the game can be enjoyed once more with new features and seasonal events.

Earth Eternal

A revival of this furry friendly MMO is in the works over at Terra Aeterna. The server includes the fan made expansion Valkal’s Shadow.

Endless Online

This 2D pixel graphics MMO has been brought back to life by the folks at EOSERV. They conveniently have a list of all servers running the emulator over on their site.

EverQuest

OK, this one is totally cheating because EverQuest is absolutely still alive and kicking. But, 20+ years of development can change a game a lot, and some people would rather stick to playing an older version.

Project 1999 is a completely volunteer-led, fan-operated emulator that includes content up to and including 2000’s Scars of Velious expansion. In 2015, Daybreak Games gave the server legal permission to continue operating alongside the live game.

EverQuest Online Adventures

Way back in the early days of the genre there were very few MMORPGs available to console gamers. PlayStation 2’s EverQuest Online Adventures was one such game, but unlike Final Fantasy XI, which made the jump across console generations, EQOA never left the PS2 and was eventually shut down in 2012.

Since then players at Project: Return Home have been working to reverse engineer the game to make it playable once more via PS2 or on PC via emulators.


EverQuest Landmark

The cancelled MMO EverQuest Next‘s, cancelled sister title Landmark has an emulator project in development (Landmark RE:Build), but progress seems to have stalled.

Fallen Earth

Fans of this post-apocalyptic MMO were rewarded for their continued loyalty to the game (which was shuttered in 2019) when an official server was brought online at the end of last year.

FHX (Ferentus, Herrcot, Xiones)

This hardcore South Korean MMO which was launched globally under several different names is being emulated by the group at FHX Restoration. They’ve combined elements from both the Korean and Global versions of the game to create a new client which runs on their server.

Free Realms

There was a lot of hype behind SOE’s child-friendly MMO when it launched back in 2009. After shuttering in 2014, an emulator has been in development for several years. FR Sunrise isn’t in a public testing state yet, but progress is steady.

FusionFall

This MMO based on characters from various Cartoon Network shows has had a bit of a troubled history, with multiple private servers being shuttered in the years since its live servers went dark.

As such, it’s difficult to recommend any one server, but if you’re interested in playing the game your best bet is to head over to the Wiki page for OpenFusion, the modified source code upon which all FusionFall rogue servers are based.

Glitch

An unusual, but much-beloved MMO, players can now jump back into the colourful world of Glitch thanks to the efforts of the Odd Giants team. This rebuilt version of the game is still in development, but new patches are frequent.

Hellgate: London

Ah, Hellgate – the game with a thousand launches. London 2038 brings the original Hellgate: London back to life (as opposed to the version of Hellgate Global which is available on Steam). Yes, I’m aware that I said I wasn’t listing rogue servers for games still actively operating, but this is kind of a Star Wars Galaxies situation where the old version is practically a completely different game, therefore I’m allowing it.

Jumpgate

This 2001 space sim MMO is fully playable once more thanks to the fans at Jumpgate TRI.

Lego Universe

Sadly there are no public servers available for Lego Universe. Darkflame Universe created a functioning emulator of the game and previously hosted a public server, but following discussions with The Lego Group, they were forced to shut up shop.

However, upon closing the server they released their source code for all to use in the creation of private servers. This means that while you won’t be getting the Massively part of the MMO experience, you can set up a server to play the game either solo or with friends and family. This requires a little bit of technical tinkering, but there’s a good video guide here.

Maple Story 2

We hardly knew ye at all, Maple Story 2. Despite being the sequel to one of the most popular MMOs of all time, Maple Story 2 didn’t quite catch on in the way that publisher Nexon was hoping for, pulling the plug after only two years of live service in the west.

Fans are rebuilding the game as MapleServer2, and a public test environment is available already.

The Matrix Online

An online game set in a franchise based around simulated realities sounds like a pretty good fit, but SOE’s The Matrix Online never really took off. A full emulator of the game isn’t available, but MXOEmu allows you to explore the game world with other players. Considering that the game’s combat was notoriously bad, this may be something of a blessing. Regular in-game events such as DJ nights will keep you engaged, but if you ever wanted to check out the game’s story then it’s worth downloading this extremely in-depth PDF archive of the game.

Monster Hunter Frontier Z

Despite having never been released in the west, Monster Hunter fans have managed to not only get this game running on private servers, but have also begun an English translation patch.

Neocron

This cyberpunk MMO has been run by a player volunteer team since 2012. Neocron Evolution continues to build upon the game with regular updates, including a texture overhaul in 2021.

Perpetuum

This is kind of a strange one. Development for this mech MMO stopped back in 2018, but the developers made the very excellent choice of handing over the game’s source code to the community. It’s still available on Steam for players to download and set up their own private server, and there’s also a community for those who are adding new content to the game.


Pirates of the Burning Sea

In a perfect world no MMO would be shut off, with publishers instead handing the game over to the players once they wish to cut ties. That’s exactly what happened to Pirates of the Burning Sea, which has been operating with continued development under an entirely fan-led team since 2019.

Pirates of the Caribbean Online

Revived under The Legends of Pirates Online, this emulation project has not only rebuilt the game to an almost finished state but has also added swathes of new content, including a major patch earlier this year.

Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst

This PC adaptation of the Phantasy Star Online games that began back on the Sega Dreamcast is available to play once more on the Ephinea, Ultima, Destiny and EdenServ servers. Their revival of the game includes new content and events.

Alternatively, you can play the Dreamcast and GameCube versions of the game (including the GameCube exclusive Episode III) again thanks to the Schthack and Sylverant servers. This requires a little bit of hardware tinkering. This video from Nighttime Gaming gives a good overview of how to get each edition of the game running in 2022.

Phantasy Star Universe

The other Phantasy Star MMO to have shuttered (Phantasy Star 2 is still alive and kicking) was revived in 2020. Phantasy Star Universe: Clementine is a fully functioning rogue server with new content.

PlanetSide

This classic MMOFPS is playable once more on PSForever. They have a guide here on how you can join the game.

Project Torque

Before Ubisoft’s The Crew came along, Project Torque was the car enthusiast MMO of choice. As of 2019, the game is being operated by a volunteer group called Jogara Ltd. It’s available via Steam, but new content updates are infrequent.

Rusty Hearts

An action combat MMO with an anime aesthetic. Rusty Hearts can be played one more thanks to the volunteers at Rusty Hearts: Revolution.

Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine

This MMO based on the beloved franchise from Atlus has been revived by fans as ReIMAGINE. The rogue server is based on the final Japan version of the game which had more content than the western servers.

Unfortunately all SMT:I private servers were taken offline in September 2022 after legal action was taken by Atlus.

The Sims Online

This online version of the game which lets you build the house of your dreams and then turn it into a torture pit for those trapped within it is back at FreeSO. They’ve brought the game back to life and added new quality of life and content features.

Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures

Following on from Free Realms, SOE released a similar kid-friendly MMO based on The Clone Wars animated series. The game outlived SOE’s other Star Wars MMO, Galaxies, by a few years, before it was killed off in 2014. Fans are working on an emulator for the game, and the team at CWAEmu have a playable server available for testing.

Star Wars Galaxies

Thanks to its unique gameplay and IP this game has by far the most rogue servers of any dead MMO. Follow this link for our complete list.

Tabula Rasa

With Richard Garriott at the helm and NCSoft as publisher, people were expecting huge things from Tabula Rasa. When it was released to a lukewarm critical reception the game stalled and was shuttered after just a little over a year of live service.

It’s no wonder then that there hasn’t been much of a community pull for a rogue server. There’s a small team attempting to rebuild the game under the banner of Infinite Rasa, but progress is slow and no public test server is available as of yet.

TERA

TERA‘s official servers were sadly and unexpectedly shuttered this year, but players had been operating private servers for years prior to this. In 2022 the most popular servers are Menma’s TERA and TERA Starscape. More servers along with their differences can be found in this thread on the game’s subreddit.

ToonTown

Disney’s child-friendly MMO has been given new life by three impressively active volunteer teams. Toontown Rewritten and Toontown: Corporate Clash offer versions of the game which contain hosts of new content, while Toontown Offline has built a version of the game which can be played well, offline.


Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Vanguard had a whole lot of promise as a true successor to EverQuest, but a rushed launch effectively killed any chance the game would have had at being a success. Still, there were plenty of fans who enjoyed this unforgiving high fantasy title, and the VGOEmulator has a thriving community working on bringing the game back to life.

The dev team are describing the current playable test server as being in an alpha state, but players can still partake in some early-level questing and crafting.

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

One of the great rogue server success stories. Not only have the Return of Reckoning team made this MMORPG based on the table top wargame franchise available to play once more, but they’ve added huge amounts of new content. The server has been running since 2014 and has a sizeable dev team working on it.

Wildstar

The team at Nexus Forever are plugging away at rebuilding the game from the ground up. It’s going to take a while, but you can download the current code and set up your own testing environment if you want to see what they’ve accomplished so far. Maybe one day soon NCSoft will have the good sense to just revive the game themselves… maybe… but don’t bet on it.

Wizardry Online

This short-lived MMO based on the old-school Wizardry series of games is in the process of being revived by volunteers. Although the game was released in English, the team have decided to base their server on the Japanese version of the game, so players should be aware that there are some untranslated elements at present.

7 closed MMORPGs that still exist

In this article, we will analyze 7 MMORPGs that were closed several years ago for various reasons. All of them ceased to exist officially, but then they were resurrected by pirates through private servers. Fans still continue to play them.

For obvious reasons, links to such servers will not be provided. Only Uncle Google will help you here.

Not all games that exist in this way are represented in this list. If you have any additions and comments, leave them in the comments.

Star Wars Galaxies

The official version of Star Wars Galaxies was closed in 2011, a few weeks before the premiere of the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic. Perhaps the publisher assumed that the SWG players would not just go to a more worthy alternative and therefore decided to cancel the project.

But ardent fans didn’t need SWTOR and they opened their own Star Wars Galaxies server, which is still alive today. Players are not repelled by old graphics and archaic systems, they still enjoy their favorite project.

Archlord

Few people have played ArchLord, a 2005 MMORPG. Its closure on January 1, 2014 was indirectly related to the release of Archlord 2, which turned out to be a failure and disappeared from the market a year later.

Hungry for their favorite closed project, the players decided to resurrect the first part and launched a lot of private servers. Most of them are already dead, but some (in fact, only one is worthy of attention) are very popular.

Warhammer Online

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning closed on December 18, 2013. This MMORPG gave a lot of impressions and memories to the players, but Electronic Arts remained adamant. Some time later, fans released a pirated server that still exists today.

It is worth noting that its existence is so successful that patches with innovations and fixes are regularly released. Recently, the pirates even increased the limits, as there was not enough space for people and queues formed.

ROSE Online

ROSE Online was doomed to a «pirate» existence. Mainly because the game closed after 14 years of launch and a large circle of fans has formed around it. Fans quickly found their home on private servers.

At the moment, the private server has even more to offer than the original thanks to constant updates.

Lineage 1

Why the first part of Lineage was not to the taste in the West is unknown. It was shut down in 2011, while the Korean version is still bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars, improving NCSoft’s financial performance.

But Lineage 1 still had a narrow circle of fans. Several private servers are doing great and are even being upgraded to a Remastered version with new graphics.

Rusty Hearts

Pleasant MMO with interesting gameplay and atmosphere Rusty Hearts failed to stay afloat and was closed at the end of 2014. Fortunately (and the publishers’ outrage), pirated versions were soon launched, offering to continue the adventure.

They are in no way inferior to the original, and even surpass it in some elements (new content, permanent events, and so on).

RaiderZ

Few have heard of the MMORPG RaiderZ. The game offered great graphics, a non-target combat system, and an enjoyable story and gameplay. But a small number of players forced the publisher to close the game. A little later, the already closed project was taken under the wing of Masangsoft, which plans to release an updated version and even published the first gameplay.
