What are your thoughts in Privates servers?

Overall, I approve of private servers. I've played them on and off since Odin. They let people who don't have enough time to enjoy the official servers to let loose and have a ball. As long as you don't (stupidly) use the same info as your Global account(s) then you'll be 100% safe (not that they'll go through all the accounts and try them all, but still). Also paying attention to what "client" you download is smart as well, but oh well. All the fun features and additions to the high-rate servers and the relaxation of the low-rate servers give a nice choice to players to choose from. As others have said, if you're having drama with friends and acquaintences and you just want to get away, a private server is a great place to hide.
