Dekaron Vanguard

Type: Dekaron Private Server
Website: dkvanguard.com
Tagline: Hold the line.

Dekaron Vanguard runs A9 server files with custom A30 content grafted on, which puts it in the older Dekaron era while still carrying systems from much later patches. The server is PvP and PK focused, so open world combat is the default rather than something confined to arenas, and the front page is built around live leaderboards and a countdown to the next scheduled event rather than around a news feed. It is currently in open beta. The team states its monetisation position directly on the site, publishing prices for cosmetics, VIP tags and gear packages while saying that no gameplay advantages are sold, so a prospective player can read the shop before installing rather than after.
