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.

Correlation of Rates and Lifecycle

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.

FAQ: Frequent Questions About Metin 2 Starts

1. When is the best time to join a new Metin2 server?

In the first 10 minutes. Controlling starting Metin stones (15-25 lvl) will give capital for books and spirit stones.

2. Which class is more effective solo?

Warrior (Body) or Sura (Weapon). Innate buffs minimize potion costs during farming.

3. Is it worth donating on the first day?

Only for VIP (Auto-Pickup, x2 drop). Buying gear before the market forms is a mistake.

4. How to tell if a server is dying?

30% online drop, delayed clan payouts, no updates for over a week.

5. Is window shaman support needed?

Mandatory. Buffs increase efficiency by 40-60%. On hard low-rates, you won't survive without it.

6. What to farm at start?

Priority FMS (Full Moon Sword) or RIB with 30%+ Average Damage. This is the main PvE weapon.

7. What's the difference between OldSchool and NewSchool?

OldSchool excludes alchemy systems. NewSchool expands cap to 120+ lvl and adds modern mechanics.

8. How important is online?

Critical. The basis of Metin2 is the blue empire (Jinno) and shops. No people = no loot sales.
