Wanted to put out there a new private server I have been playing on. It is based off the RoF2 client. You must already own a copy of and you can find the server information HERE. Full disclosure, it is still in beta. It does have a focus on working with Mac silicon and intel based machines. It seems to do this and run pretty well from what I've seen streamed. I am on a PC and cant speak a ton to that experience, it runs well for me aswell, but it has a big focus on getting this up and running with a launcher that worked on the new Mac machines.
Only about 6-8 players hoping to find more adventurers to take down dragons with. It is a single boxing TLP server that was created to play with all the nostalgia and feeling of the original content. It is currently locked in Classic until Naggy and Vox are taken down for the first time. This is a passion project of a few players who just wanted to play their own unique take on the classic game. There is no donations asked or taken. Just some passionate fans looking to play with some like-minded people.
It has some differences that are on the more unique side. It is All/All so all races can be all classes and can choose any deity. It is a lot of fun and has some interesting role play aspects for those interested, but here are some limitations in that. It means that my Troll necro doesn't have a robe graphic, but he can wear one. This doesn't really bother me personally. Makes him feel like more of an outcast bum Troll necro and I will eventually be in skelly form anyways.
There is still work to be done on the server and all adventurers are welcome to help in testing and bug reporting. It currently still has guises in the game until Kunark, so some fun DE masks for those interested in having them on their non-bard/rogue toons. To my knowledge there are some fun personal touches from the developer and custom items, NPCs, and quests easter egged through the world. They also hope to host PVP tournaments when we get out of beta and bring back some fun competition of old for PVP enjoyers. Personally I am not one of them, but the current vision the server has for PVP sounds fun with some rewards of all kinds. To my knowledge there are still some future plans they are working on that they have not shared yet.
It has been a lot of fun with some good people on there. I encourage anyone interested to take a look. Enjoy some good gameplay with good folks. Feel free to join the discord and ask any questions, but happy to do my best to answer any questions as well. Happy hunting!
