Are there any where ppl arent runnin around at 65, with max stats and uber lewt? Any actualy fair servers? Anything even partially secure to allow play that doesn't resemble Open BNET (sry, but this had to be said).

There are two available: Winter's Roar and Manjones

Winter's Roar has a central area, remapped zones, and a few other nifty modifications to avoid current bugs. It also has repopulated (for the better, imo) zones and new items and spells. It also has quite a few fixes to skills, but the lack of trainers makes playing anything other than classes that good Erudites can play virtually impossible. It is under heavy construction and rarely up. Mob agro is here, as are wandering mobs, and those are two huge plusses. The small world also makes for a friendly community and plenty of potential partners. Scribespells and setskillall commands are not available, although several custom commands such as #bind and #move are present. Info can be found at www.wintersroar.com

Manjones uses the default database (IE, level 1-5 is a pain but all the static spawns are there) with very few modifications and allows most (I cannot verify ALL) zones. All the common flaws such as Kick/Taunt not working, many skills not autotraining or training at all, the locked casting bug, and rediculous mob regen are here as well. All classes are playable (although fighting classes are very difficult to play) and all zones are dynamic. Transportation is nicely done through the use of teleporting NPCs at the docks. There is no MOB agro and no real faction use. Manjones is virtually always up from what I've seen. I wish I knew the web page. :/

Please correct me with any screwups above!
