−
−	== Server ~~Type Details ==~~
−
−	~~=== Entry Servers ===~~
−
−	Entry servers are where all new accounts are created. The server contains JK,MR and HOTS, but HOTS is limited to PAs and GMs. The aim of the entry servers are to let new players try the game for free in almost all its glory. Players may then move on from the entry servers to other server types ~~using portals. Premium must be purchased to be able to do this and has no effect till the player leaves the server.~~
−	~~Entry servers only allow basic accounts so skills are limited to a maximum of 20. This means resource quality is also limited to 20. There is also no gods or altars present on the entry servers.~~
−
−	~~PVP,theft,deeds and Towers are not allowed on the entry server. On entry servers decay is also 3 times faster and the server may be periodically reset (has not occurred yet).~~
−
−	~~=== Freedom servers ===~~
−
−	~~Fully owned by the native kingdom. The entire server is automatically claimed as kingdom territory, so guard towers are not required to plant deeds.~~
−	Theft, PVP, and other kinds of griefing are frowned upon, and are bannable offences in many instances. GMs will police these servers as needed, but ideally the game rules should take care of things automatically. Moderators police the kingdom chat channels to ensure the chat rules are followed. Travel between Freedom servers and other types of server will be by portal and involves restrictions.
−
−	~~See the freedom FAQ for more details.~~
−
−	~~=== Wild servers ===~~
−
−	Wild servers are battlegrounds where different kingdoms clash together. There is no pre-owned land, it must be claimed by constructing guard towers. Deeds can only be placed within the territories claimed by the towers.
−	Full PVP is enabled between kingdoms, as well as internally within your own kingdom. The White Light and Black Light are found on the wild server. Each kingdom on wild has a leader and offices granted to players by the leader.
−	GMs generally avoid intervening in wild server affairs. However, excessive griefing and other violations of the game rules will be punished as appropriate. On wild servers monster are tougher and the terrain is more harsh.
−
−	~~=== Epic servers ===~~
−	Currently not much information is know about this server type as its still in the planning and implementation phase. Epic servers will run scenarios that form the story. A scenario will have permanent impact on the world and the success is dependent on the players.

−	~~=== Test servers ===~~
−	~~The test servers exists to test large game updates before they are added to the main servers. There is currently only one test server see [[Test server \|here]] for details.~~
