What Is a Metin2 Pvp Server? Private vs Official and First Steps

Metin2 is a Far East-themed online role-playing game that has been around since the mid-2000s. Next to the official servers there are hundreds of servers run by player communities, usually called "Metin2 Pvp servers" or "Metin2 private servers". This guide explains what a Pvp server is, how it differs from an official server and how to take your first steps on a server that suits you.

What is a Metin2 Pvp server?

A Pvp server is a Metin2 server set up and run by a team that is independent of the official publisher. The "Pvp" (Player versus Player) in the name comes from their focus on fighting other players: characters progress much faster than on the official servers, so you can join duels, guild wars and tournaments within a short time.

Every Pvp server has its own rules:

• Rates: The server team sets the experience (EXP), Yang and item drop rates.
• Level cap: Usually a fixed range such as 1-99, 1-105 or 1-120.
• Systems: The team decides which systems such as alchemy, shoulder sashes, pets and mounts are included; some servers also add custom systems of their own.
• Account and client: Every server has its own client and account system. You can't log in with your official account or with an account from another server.

Official server vs Pvp server: the differences

Every row in this table varies from server to server. That's why reading a server's description page carefully before you join is the quickest way to understand who runs it and what kind of server it is.

Server types: a quick map

Pvp servers fall into a few main types depending on their pace:

• Oldschool: The classic Metin2 feel. Old maps and systems take center stage, and most of them are 1-99 servers. You can see the current list on the Oldschool servers page.
• Newschool: Servers with newer systems such as alchemy, shoulder sashes and pets, usually 1-105 or 1-120. Newschool servers
• Hardwork: Progression is slow, items are valuable and the servers aim to last a long time. Hardwork servers
• Medium Hardwork: A balance between a Hardwork server and a fast server. Medium Hardwork servers
• For VS: Your character is ready in no time and the focus is straight on Pvp. For VS servers

What does the level range tell you?

The level range says a lot about a server's content. 1-99 servers stay close to classic gameplay; on 1-105 and 1-120 servers new maps, dungeons and systems come into play. Servers that start at a high level, such as 55-120 or 65-250, appeal to players who want to progress fast. You can browse the range you're interested in on the 1-99 servers, 1-105 servers and 1-120 servers pages.

First steps on the right server for you

1. Decide on your play style. Do you want fast Pvp, or would you rather put in the work and grow stronger step by step? Picking the type rules out half the list.
2. Narrow down the list. Check the best servers list ranked by player votes, the newly opened servers and the opening calendar.
3. Read the description page. Compare details such as rates, systems, the item shop and the opening date.
4. Check out the community. The server's Discord, player reviews and vote count show how alive it really is.
5. Download the client from the right place. Only download it from the server's own official website.
6. Secure your account. Use a different password on every server and never share it with anyone.

Staying safe: what to watch out for

• Don't use the same password on more than one server. A problem with one server's database puts your other accounts at risk too.
• Don't open "client", "patch" or "hack" files sent by people you don't know. They can compromise both your account and your computer.
• Stay away from cheat programs. You'll get permanently banned from the server, and you'll be ruining fair play for everyone else.
• If you pay for anything, only use the server's own official website and never buy through middlemen.

Frequently asked questions

Are Metin2 Pvp servers free?

Playing is free on the vast majority of servers. They usually make money through an optional item shop. It's worth checking the description page and player reviews to see whether the items on sale upset the game balance.

Can I join a Pvp server with my official account?

No. Every Pvp server has its own account system and client, so you need to register separately on each server you want to play on.

I'm new to Metin2. Which server type should I start with?

If you're still learning the game, an oldschool 1-99 server is a good start: the systems are simple and the gameplay is easy to follow. If you want to jump into Pvp quickly, take a look at For VS servers as well.

What happens to my character if a server shuts down?

Characters are stored in that server's own database. If the server shuts down, your character and items are usually lost. That's why you should check how long a server has been running and look into the team's track record before investing a lot of time and money.
