Explore Available Final Fantasy XI Private Servers
The Final Fantasy XI private server scene is vibrant and diverse, offering a plethora of servers for players to dive into. Each server boasts a unique vision, meticulously crafted configurations, and distinct content offerings.

To ensure clarity and ease of navigation on our main server list, we provide a summarized overview of each server, highlighting key characteristics. For those seeking in-depth knowledge, we strongly encourage you to delve into each server’s dedicated advertisement page, linked within the list. These individual pages are treasure troves of detailed information, revealing server-specific configurations like experience rates, drop rates, available content expansions, unique features, and community guidelines.
Resources for Final Fantasy XI Server Owners
Are you a current or aspiring owner of a Final Fantasy XI private server? We offer valuable resources to help you thrive. Whether you’re looking to register your server on our widely-accessed lists or need to update your existing advertisement, we’ve got you covered. Before proceeding, please familiarize yourself with our Server List Guidelines document. This comprehensive guide outlines the necessary steps and requirements for server listing and advertisement updates.
For new servers seeking inclusion, we have established specific criteria to ensure a level of stability and commitment. These guidelines are designed to foster a healthy server ecosystem and prevent the fleeting appearance of servers that lack the foundational support for long-term sustainability. We aim to showcase servers run by dedicated individuals who understand the intricacies of managing a successful and engaging Final Fantasy XI private server.
Servers already featured on our lists will also find moderation rules within the guidelines document, ensuring fair representation and consistent information for our community.
Engage in Community Discussions
Our vibrant Final Fantasy XI private server community thrives on open communication and collaboration. We maintain two primary platforms for discussions and interactions: Discord and Reddit.
1. Reddit: Your Hub for FFXI Private Server News and Reviews
Our subreddit served as the original cornerstone for advertisement and open dialogues within the private server sphere. Over time, we’ve refined the subreddit’s focus to concentrate on several core functions:
- Server Advertisements: A dedicated space for server owners to announce their servers and share crucial updates and patches.
- Server Reviews & Feedback: We encourage players to contribute valuable feedback and reviews about the servers they experience. This player-driven insight helps prospective players gain a well-rounded understanding of each server’s atmosphere, staff responsiveness, and overall player base before committing to a new online adventure.
- General Discussions: A forum for broader conversations related to the private server landscape.
While general discussions are welcome, we encourage in-depth server-specific conversations to migrate to our Discord server. This approach helps prevent any single server from dominating the subreddit’s front page with numerous threads, which can often occur with newly launched servers. By centralizing detailed server discussions on Discord, we maintain a balanced and informative subreddit experience for everyone.
Join the conversation on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFXIPrivateServers/
2. Discord: Real-Time Interaction and Server Communities
Our Discord server complements the subreddit by offering real-time communication channels and dedicated spaces for individual server communities. Discord serves multiple key purposes:
- Server Advertisements: Similar to Reddit, Discord provides channels for server owners to promote their projects and share updates in a dynamic, immediate format.
- Server Discussions & Feedback: Each listed server is invited to host its own dedicated channel on our Discord. These channels become vibrant hubs for players to engage in discussions about their chosen servers, exchange feedback, share reviews, and delve into server features and content.
- Developer Discussions: We provide dedicated channels for private server developers and administrators to connect, collaborate, and discuss technical aspects of their individual servers. This includes conversations related to the foundational server core project that underpins many FFXI private servers. (Important Note: While we facilitate developer discussions, our Discord is not the primary channel for bug reports or core-related issues. Please direct those reports to the LandSandBoat server core repository’s issue tracker or discussion pages, detailed below.)
- Server Owner Moderation & Information Sharing: For established servers recognized as trusted members of the community, we offer exclusive moderation channels. These private spaces enable server staff to communicate directly with each other regarding administrative matters, player behavior issues (warnings, bans), exploit alerts, operational assistance, and more. This collaborative environment fosters a stronger and more secure private server ecosystem.

The Foundation: Final Fantasy Private Server Core Project
The bedrock of many Final Fantasy XI private servers is the open-source server core project: LandSandBoat.
Please be aware: The Final Fantasy Private Server Community operates independently from the LandSandBoat server core project. While we maintain distinct entities, we share a common goal: to enrich the Final Fantasy XI experience. Therefore, we encourage users to utilize the appropriate channels when interacting with the server core software or source code. While our Discord hosts developer channels, bug reports and issue tracking are best addressed directly through the LandSandBoat GitHub repository’s issue tracker.
