Built for this realm
The useful differences from a stock private-server setup.
Private by design
Game traffic stays on the Tailscale network. Administrative services and databases are not exposed as player endpoints.
Clients kept together
Known-good WoW, EQ, DAoC, and UO packages are served directly from MinasTirith, so everyone starts with compatible files.
Backups scheduled
RealmForge services have scheduled backups, with local, NAS, and off-site coverage for the WoW world.
Recovery proven where stated
The EQ world has passed a full isolated, client-tested restore. Other guides describe only the tests actually completed.

Small worlds, tiny clients, deep rabbit holes.
