Frequently Asked Questions

Nostalgic.gg is a discovery platform for classic MMORPG private servers. We help players find, compare, and join servers for games like MU Online, Lineage 2, Ragnarok Online, and more. Our platform features server listings, community reviews, and comprehensive guides.

Yes! Nostalgic.gg is completely free for players. You can browse servers, read reviews, and join communities without any cost. We may introduce optional premium features in the future, but core functionality will always remain free.

Private servers are fan-run game servers for MMORPGs that are no longer actively supported or have limited official servers. They offer nostalgic gameplay experiences, often with custom features, higher rates, and active communities. Private servers are legal in most jurisdictions as long as they don't use official copyrighted assets.

Click on any server listing to view details. Each server page includes a "Join Discord" or "Visit Website" button that will take you to the server's community. From there, you'll find download links, registration instructions, and getting started guides specific to that server.

We do our best to verify servers before listing them, and our community review system helps identify problematic servers. However, always exercise caution: use unique passwords, don't share personal information, and read reviews before investing time or money. Report suspicious servers to our moderation team.

Server owners can submit their servers for free through our submission form (coming soon). Once submitted, our team will review your server to ensure it meets our quality standards. Approved servers will be listed in our directory within 48 hours.

When you create an account on Nostalgic.gg, you receive a unique referral code. Share this code with friends, and when they sign up using your link, you both earn rewards. Referral rewards include platform credits, exclusive badges, and early access to new features.

Platform credits are Nostalgic.gg's virtual currency. You can earn credits through referrals, reviews, and community participation. In the future, credits may be redeemable for premium features or in-game items on participating servers.

Yes! Your Nostalgic.gg account is separate from individual game servers. You can link multiple game accounts from different servers to your Nostalgic.gg profile, making it easy to manage all your nostalgic gaming in one place.

Server rankings are based on multiple factors: player reviews, online player count, server uptime, and community engagement. We don't accept payment for higher rankings - all positions are earned through merit and community approval.

Private servers can close unexpectedly. We mark inactive servers in our listings and archive them after 30 days of inactivity. Always keep backups of important information and diversify your gaming across multiple servers to minimize disruption.

If you encounter a scam server, pay-to-win mechanics, or other issues, use the "Report" button on the server's page or contact our moderation team through Discord. Provide as much detail as possible, including screenshots if available.

Yes! While MU Online is popular in our community, we support many classic MMORPGs including Lineage 2, Ragnarok Online, Tibia, RuneScape, and more. We're constantly adding new games based on community requests.

Great reviews include: how long you've played, server stability, community quality, staff responsiveness, and whether the server delivers on its promises. Be honest and specific. Both positive and negative reviews help the community make informed decisions.

Currently, usernames and battle tags are permanent once set. We may introduce username changes in the future. Choose carefully during registration!

We take security seriously. All passwords are hashed and encrypted. We use Discord or Google OAuth for authentication, meaning we never store your password directly. Read our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.

Server listings are updated in real-time based on data provided by server owners and community reports. Player counts and uptime statistics are refreshed every 15 minutes. Reviews are moderated daily.

Yes! Use our advanced filters to search by: game version/season, experience rates, server location, PvP/PvE focus, and more. Save your favorite filters for quick access.

Currently, we support English, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Spanish. More languages will be added based on community demand. Server listings can be in any language, with automatic translation available.
