Regular (PvE) Servers
PvP Servers
If you're interested in a more aggressive gaming style, Player vs. Player might be for you. On a PvP server, any player can attack any other player, with a few restrictions, defined by the PvP rule set.
Roleplaying Preferred Servers
For those more inclined to immerse themselves fully in a game, to become their character and bring them to life, a Roleplaying server might be for you.
International Servers
These servers run in the language noted by each name, and are otherwise the same as Regular servers.
- Innovation - German
- Valor - German
- Runnyeye - English/EU
- Splitpaw - English/EU
- Sebilis - Japanese
- Storms - French
Russian Servers
These run in Russian, and have no Marketplace. They are not available via the regular launcher.
- Barren Sky
- Harla Dar (PvP)
Live Gamer/Station Exchange Servers
The Live Gamer service was terminated at the end of 2011, and the Live Gamer servers were merged with regular servers.
