Perhaps but few players trust private servers, myself being one of them. That was why I created my server to begin with. I was tired of changing RP servers every few months because of the unfair, very poor management, or just outright abusive Admins. So I started [SOG] Nekhet Empire Adult RP along with my wife to create a safe and enjoyable experience for RPers without having to deal with trolls (toxic PvPers) and Admin abuse. Up until the last year it had been a massive success. My server had around 200+ registered members and an average daily 18 players online but was usually at pop cap during peak play times. That all changed when Age of Sorcery released. Since then an average of 10 players a month have either switch to PC for the mods or quit the game outright.
