quite a few games have private servers, but i wouldnt recommend them because

1) You get what you paid for. You pay nothing,you get broken content,full of bugs, half the skills dont work, etc etc etc.

2) Even while they look free, those servers cost something to mantain.

The money comes from donations, and what do donators get?? usually stupidly overpowered stuff, like gear +25 when everybody legit can only dream of getting theirs to +5.
In PvP games this is a no-go, because donators become raid bosses and can eat alive 25 non-donators without breaking a sweat

3) The staff of those pservers are usually (as in 99,999% cases) extremly corrupt. If you happen to kill a GM friend, you'll find yourself banned within seconds, and all your stuff given to that friend. Same regarding guild wars, sieges, loot drops, whatever.

4) usually have only one server open to the rest of the world. that means you will be playing in the same server with asians, americans, europeans,africans, whatever

translation= heaps of lag

5) Last but not least when private servers reach certain degree of succeed they are always canned
bet you wont have fun playing on a server for 4 months, working a lot to get the levels, stuff, ranking, even donate money.....and then see everything going *POOF* overnight when the server gets sued and forced to go down
