Shiva Server Profile

Shiva Metin2 recreates the classic 2006-2010 Metin2 experience — authentic drop rates and a real leveling curve — for an international audience across 13 languages. It has run continuously without an economy reset since its June 2022 launch, which is unusually long-lived for a Metin2 private server.

Wipe & Reset History

Shiva has run continuously since its June 2022 launch with no economy reset or server wipe — a claim the project repeats consistently across its own site and one MMODude found no contradicting reports for.

Wipe and reset policies can change with new server launches. Check the official site linked above for the current status.

Getting Started on Shiva

New to Shiva? Here's the general process for jumping in — always defer to the official site's own instructions, since exact steps vary by server.

1
Visit the official site. Go to shiva.international to confirm the server is currently active and find the current client or launcher download.
2
Download the client or launcher. Most private servers distribute their own patched client or a launcher that patches a base game install. Use the download linked directly from the official site rather than third-party mirrors.
3
Create an account and log in. Registration is typically free. Use a unique password you don't reuse elsewhere — private servers don't carry the account-security infrastructure of an official publisher.

Steps are general guidance, not a promise of a specific process for Shiva. Confirm current details on the official site linked above.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe and legal to play on a private server?

Private servers exist in a legal gray area — most operate under community reverse-engineering or emulation projects rather than an official license, with some exceptions. Shiva has been running long enough to build a track record; as with any private server, use a unique password and don't reuse account credentials from other sites.

How do I get started on Shiva?

Visit the official website at https://shiva.international/en for the current client download and setup instructions. Most private servers provide their own launcher or patched client separate from the original retail game.
