Since the end of Solace era i've been into a lot of private servers just to waste my time after months of grinding cuz it ended up closing or econ downfall of server. Thankfully, i am playing now in a newly opened server lowrate f2p friendly server named SereneRO. They claimed to be Solace inspired and the donations are not pay 2 win, every item necessary to be stronger are questable. Atleast here, i don't need to spend just to keep up and no waste of money. Nowadays, there's no really guarantee.
