Shaiya Ancient Classic Episode 4.5

Type: Shaiya Private Server
Website: shaiyaancient.online

Shaiya Ancient runs the classic Episode 4.5 ruleset with the level cap held at 60, which is the configuration long time Shaiya players point to as the game's balance high water mark before later episodes raised the ceiling. The two faction structure is intact, with the Alliance of Light and the Union of Fury fighting over the same open world rather than being separated into instanced queues. The server keeps a x1 kill rate, so faction kill progression is not inflated and rank means the same thing it did on the original game. The team advertises the project as an English language international server with no pay to win and active GM presence.

Episode: 4.5
Level Cap: 60
Factions: Alliance of Light and Union of Fury
Ruleset: Classic Episode 4.5
Language: English, international community

Kill Rate: x1
Ruleset: Classic Episode 4.5, not a high rate configuration

Ultimate Mode: Ultimate mode characters are available, which is Shaiya's signature permadeath difficulty where a death that is not resurrected in time deletes the character permanently.
Hard Mode: Hard mode is offered as the step below Ultimate for players who want the stat bonus without the deletion risk.
Open World PvP: Faction conflict plays out in open world PvP rather than only in instanced arenas.
No Pay To Win: The team advertises the server as no pay to win, so gear does not come out of a cash shop.
Active GM: The server advertises active GM presence rather than an absentee staff.
Classic Balance: Holding at Episode 4.5 and cap 60 keeps the original class balance instead of the later episode power curve.
