A Metin2 private server is an independent server that recreates the gameplay of the MMORPG by Ymir Entertainment. The German community calls them "p server". Admins tune the rates, balance and game systems, so every project plays differently — from classic x1 to fast PvP servers.

Servers are grouped by rates and school. Classic / low-rate (x1–x10) offer slow progression and original balance. Mid-rate (x25–x100) is a compromise between pace and farming. High-rate / PvP (x200+) give a fast cap and a combat focus. Oldschool servers recreate the pre-2013 era — without Lycan and Dragon Stone Alchemy.

The Metin2 catalog lists 97 hand-picked private servers as of 2026. The list is updated: new projects are added and inactive ones are removed. Open a server card to see its rates, version and description.

Decide on the pace: classic servers offer slow progression and original balance, high-rate ones let you reach the cap fast and focus on PvP. Check that the key systems work — the Upgrade System, Biologist Quest, Metin Stones and Guild War. Avoid raw builds with broken mechanics.

Yes, registration and play on Metin2 private servers are free. Many projects offer a cash shop, but its impact on balance depends on each server's policy. Classic servers usually limit paid advantages more than high-rate ones.

Private servers are run by independent teams and are not affiliated with Gameforge or Ymir Entertainment. Download the client only from the chosen server's official site, use a separate password and never enter your official Metin2 account details. It is worth checking project reviews before installing.
