Eden is a ToAU server with normal rates on everything you can expect from SE's server around the same time frame. Eden's date for features is officially The day WoTG released, as if no one installed the expansion. So dnc and sch are unavailable, but Nyzul and Salvage are a bit easier then their original launch states.

There are a couple Out-of-Era QoL and UI elements like equipsets. Trusts are in the menu but can't be obtained.

Normal exp, normal movement speed.

Server population is approx 500-800 during prime time. Unlimited level sync so even in off-hours you can still make a party with anyone.

Eden's feature complete through Zilart and CoP(Only missing AV). With the majority of toau done sans Einherjar, Pandemonium Warden, and ToAU kings.

Eden content includes Most bcnms, most enms, Sky, Sea, Dynamis and CoP Dynamis, Limbus, Nyzul, ZNMs tier 1-4, The first 15 assaults.


Why start Eden now after so long? Good question. Eden is a lovingly recreated time in the game's history that is true to SE's vision. We have volunteer retail testers and devs that strive to be the most accurate they can be. And when they make mistakes they've historically owned them and adjusted content to be more true to the era experience.



I've personally been on Eden since before the pandemic and it's been great. The server's come a long long way from all the damage formulas being wrong, mobs having no resistances, synth tiers being wrong, fights missing AI scripts, etc etc. The dev team has done a great job emulating a game that is notoriously poorly documented, and they continue to do so.

Worth noting you can run retail and Eden at the same time. There's a dual install setup guide on the Discord.

Eden is by far the most accurate 75 era server, if you want to replay that era, it is basically the only option to me, I did try most of the private server and I did not last long on any of the other one, they felt more like RPG maker in FFXI world to me than era server. Damage calculation for example is either totally wrong or custom on most(if not all) other server and that is a deal breaker to me.

Another really good thing about Eden, is the dev listen to feedback and fix innacuracy as long as evidence/data is provided.

Dual box is also allowed on Eden, I do not dual box on Eden but I like having the option to do so if needed

Because it isn't Reddit!

Good to see Eden posting here. Long established and successful servers do us all well.

[Argus.is.a.punk]

Anniversary rings are out now! Come get that exp boost!

[pizzarat]

I've been interested in trying a private server some time, is Discord required to use this one? It seems they want me to join it to get an invite for the game.

I miss forums... every private server seems to have stuffed their community into Discord servers these days.

Discord is the easiest way to keep up with the community but it's not required for download or play.

The launcher will ask for a registration code but that's disabled now I believe, just put in any number and it'll work. It's a remnant from when Eden had an account spammer being a menace.

The download link is in the OP

And as before, BG was there to fill the void!

And as before, BG was there to fill the void!

I don't know about BG in general but from browsing this specific section (especially the Horizon thread) it's good to see some actual private server discussion is allowed here compared to a certain subreddit that neurotically wipes all criticism or negativity. Horizon had a certain stink to it from the day I had a friend link it to me all hyped up about it (about 5 months before it went live I think) and it's been both sad and vindicating to see that my suspicions were accurate.

Also, you guys have an excellent wiki that helped me out a ton as a guy who only made it as far as Qufim back in the early days but got back into the game a couple years ago

That's because of proximity of Atom0s to that subreddit. Has an affinity for that.

The wiki is still improving too. So I'm glad it was good enough for you then.
