Looking for a Metin2 private server like old Metin2 United (rare materials, contested farming, no system bloat)
Hey,
I’m looking for a Metin2 private server similar to Metin2 United around 2011.
What I liked was the progression loop: leveling actually mattered, you farmed specific maps/spots for rare upgrade materials, those materials were valuable/tradable, and you could either use them to upgrade your gear or sell them to buy what you needed. Some spots were contested, so PvP naturally happened because people were fighting over resources.
I don’t mind custom weapons/armors after level 90/105/120, and max level can be 105, 120, 150, 250, etc. That part doesn’t matter too much.
What I don’t want is a server where you rush to max level quickly and then the whole game becomes managing alchemy, sashes, pets, mounts, costume bonuses, aura/runes/talismans/Gaya, battle pass, dailies, auto-farm, and 10 other systems.
I’m looking for something where the main game is still: level up → farm valuable drops/materials → upgrade gear → trade/sell → contest farming spots → get stronger.
Ideally EU/international or Romanian, with decent population and an active market.
Does anything like this exist right now?
I used some AI to better understand what I want and what I liked in the past, hope that's OK.
