Why do you prefer playing in private server instead a official ?

I still play on official pvp servers so I can’t tell you why I left lol but I CAN tell you what drove the majority of players off the servers I played on. Toxic cheating clans that grief and exploit their way to victory left to lay waste to player after player despite countless reports and pleas for help from funcom. The wheels of justice at funcom DO turn but they turn real damn slow. If you undermesh or speed glitch, pork thralls, manage to loot an entire clans vaults and chests without breaking them or even doing damage to them, than their is an admin that will act almost immediately on privates. It’s a far, far more level playing field on private’s than officials and that is why all my clan mates and most of my enemies have left the servers I’m on.

Short answer: Pippi
But the long answer is I prefer active PVP over passive. Private servers usually enforce a no offline raiding rule that ensures you can only raid or be raided when you’re online. The problem with offline raiding is well… its not fun to do. And you have to do it because if you don’t others will invariably will do it to you and gain an advantage. That’s akin to not using the forward pass or option in American Football because of ‘reasons’.

Why in the world was this comment flagged? I see we still have a lot of weak charisma on the forums. Perhaps that is why the servers are empty. Too many cry babies.
My personal opinion about server vacancies is because when you farm all day then get off to eat for an hour only to find out everything you did was completely wiped out by some clan that offline you…that will cause people to quit.
Understand, I don’t think anyone is afraid of a good battle. But offline raiding needs to be stopped. They have the ability no and they said they were going to do it but…alas, they left it disabled.
Aside from that, I’m loving all of the new updates. Fighting even NPCs requires much more teamwork and strategy now.
Can’t spam heal anymore. LOVE that. Maybe enemies I ambush now…Will actually die.

I like the one simple response…Pippi…lol. My response is about the same, I’m in luv with the mods.
The only reason I still play official is admin abuse on privates
My private pvp server bans thralls/pets in pvp as well as mounted combat.
Getting two shot by a thrall is big dumb and I don’t know why this hasn’t been fixed after all this time.

agree 100%
This is true. Thralls should do good damage to NPC creatures but against players they’re faaaaar too powerful.

Because in a private server the chance of exploiting, cheat, etc its almost zero because the admins of those servers are taking care of that.

Maybe I have just had bad luck with private servers even though I know there has to be good admins out there.
The first private server I joined, the admins wanted my personal information and I said no, and left. The second one, I wanted to be part of the community but was virtually ignored, even when I asked questions in chat, so i left.
The third one was 3 of my friends who rented a server after release and asked me to join them.
They then proceeded to install every mod they could, and then rarely played.
Finally I found out that another person ( probably one of their Moms ) actually paid for the server but never played. This made me nervous enough about longevity to leave.

95% of my time since early access has been on private server. I haven’t had a problem.
Official 100% admins and owners are to petty and the rules some have are just stupid and there to only benefit themselves something that doesnt attract people.
AMEN! Though, I removed the two that don’t bother me in your quote…The rest is spot on. So far, this update has fixed at least some of this. Though, I’m HIGHLY disappointed that they left the Offline Raid Protection turned OFF on Officials.
DEVS PLEASE TURN THAT ON LIKE YOU SAID!
