How to Choose a New MT2 Server: Survival Guide

Starting on a new Metin2 fresh server is a time investment. On BestGames, we aggregate Metin2 server announcements, filtering out obvious trash. When choosing a project, evaluate the ROI of your time. Below is an algorithm for evaluating projects before registration.

Key Selection Metrics (What to Look For Before Launch)

Analyze the configuration, not online promises:

  1. Rates (x1-x1000): Low-rate (x1-x3) = economy lives for months. High-rate = fun for a couple of weeks.
  2. Game Type: OldSchool without alchemy (Dragon Soul Alchemy) requires more grind. NewSchool — fast leveling.
  3. Localization: International (EN/TR/RO) servers last longer than local RU projects.
  4. Donat Shop (IS): Balance-affecting items (Pay-to-Win) in the shop — red flag.

Mechanics and Economy: Red Flags

If the blacksmith doesn't require items for refining to +9, the economy will collapse in 48 hours. Spawn rate of Metin stones in starting locations is critical — with a shortage, newbies won't progress. Empire balance (Jinno, Shinsoo, Chunjo) requires strict management; competent admins block registration for the dominant faction.

Frequently Asked Questions

The announcements page lists Metin2 private servers with upcoming or recent launch dates, collected from open sources and submitted by server owners. You can sort entries by opening date to find the newest projects.

Starting on the first day places all players on equal footing: no established economy, no dominant guilds, and fresh competition across all three kingdoms. Early participants typically secure better positions in ratings and in-game rankings.

Each announcement card displays the opening date provided by the server owner or collected from public listings. If a date is marked as approximate, we recommend checking the server's official website or Discord for confirmation.

Server owners can register in the control panel, create a project page, and set the planned opening date — the listing will then appear in the announcements automatically. In addition, our parser regularly scans public Metin2 rating sites and may pick up your server independently.
