What PWs would you be excited to play on again?

Similar to DrHappyAngry's thread on single player modules we all miss, what Persistent Worlds or Multiplayer Servers do you wish you could play on again?
I loved playing on all sorts of servers, but towards the end of my previous experience with NWN I was pretty into Roleplay. I had a particular fondness for the servers that featured permanent death as a mechanic, as I liked the feeling of actual danger for my character and the challenges it brought. Some of my favorites were the zombie survival servers.
Additionally, I killed a ton of time in the dungeon crawling PWs, even though I was largely doing the same thing over and over I found it so satisfying every time I found some marginally better piece of gear.
I don't remember what the servers were referred to as, or what any of the big-name ones were, but I also enjoyed the PvP servers that were set up like capture the flag - looking back, they were kind of similar to how games like DOTA and LoL work nowadays.

Also there was a great RP server I used to play on I "think" it was called Krossfire but not 100%.
@Atrophiederic servers that have held the test of time are great for discussion too - thanks for sharing! I'll be sure to look it up and give it a try.
I played on Ravenloft very briefly back in the day and I know that's still around too. Props to the teams of the modules that have stuck around - they have very dedicated staff. (:
I've noticed a slight uptick in servers, particularly Roleplay ones, being put up on EE in just the past few days. I'm excited to see what we're working with in the first week or two of the official release. I'm considering trying to make a server myself if I find the time! I wish there was a good way for me to advertise the game.
As for some of these old PWs we're discussing, I don't recognize a lot of the names. I'm curious as to which was more popular back in the day - action PW, or Roleplay. I think I spread my time pretty evenly between the two, and as I mentioned before, I think a lot of the servers I favored in the end sported both as well.
Tek Knights
Menzo
Myth Drannor
Old Khan
Just to name a few!
loved that server
orbofabrogation.com/
interested in what others get suggested.
It just was a super clever server at the time (2003-2008ish), consistently well-built and it used a feature of the door system to change out dungeons after so many hours of server runtime. Some of them had 2 - 4 variants. Like maybe just bears, then 24 real hours later, it would be full of kobolds, having excavated it out and extended the dungeon, maybe unearthing a passage to the unending giant dungeon, etc. Other unique features, too.
My other choices would be all the RP heavy, low level ones, but without all the drama or corrupt/inept admins and cliquey players, and of course not as a moody teen this time, too.
I am an old player and DM from Battledale and Battledale 2:Thiriun's Legacy (you might remember me as BattleSwan) and we do have some ex-BD players with us on Corm
The admin would like to go EE, but is no dev there at present and afraid to break everything, he wants a clear np path or guide for the migration. *I can't fault him for that.
