== Uses ==
* According to a study based on [[Ragnarok Online]] emulated servers, “Players turn to the illegal private server solution to fulfill their expectations for better means of [[Customization of Avatars (Computing)|avatar customization]], specific technical features, an improved social environment, and enhanced [[gamemaster]] availability.” <ref>{{cite journal |first=T.|last=Debeauvais |first2=B.|last2=Nardi |title=A qualitative study of Ragnarok Online private servers: in-game sociological issues.|journal= In Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games (FDG’10) |year=2010 |url=http://www.artifex.org/~bonnie/Debeauvais-Nardi-RO-private-servers.pdf}}</ref>
* Other reasons why players use server emulators is to avoid the monthly fees or purchasing fees for certain games.
* Being able to experience an accelerated and/or altered mode of play (sometimes changing the game completely).
* Some server emulators are designed on the emphasis that a game has closed and is no longer playable, like [[Toontown Online]]. Players also choose to play on private servers to relive and old version of the game (like Vanilla WOW private servers).
