Bring more builds into the fight
Meaningful buffs to underperforming skills, classes, and sets toward the current strongest builds. Our direction is bringing more options up, rather than simply cutting the strongest down.
DIABLO III · COMMUNITY PRIVATE SERVER
Project Sanctuary — A New Beginning
Project Sanctuary is a community-driven Diablo III private server built around the 2.8.0 client, with straightforward connectivity, improved quality of life, and one permanent promise:
NO PAY TO WIN. EVER.
LIVE GAME FOUNDATIONS
The Sanctuary you know.
A foundation worth getting right.
Our starting point is the live version of Diablo III and the 2.8.0 client: familiar combat, character progression, loot, crafting, and endgame systems. We’re checking how those systems work together so that skills, items, and sets behave as intended.
This is ongoing development. Bugs, incomplete mechanics, and performance issues need to be identified, tested, and resolved before we consider the server ready for launch. Intentional custom changes will build on that foundation, with a clear purpose and thorough testing.
EXPANDED CONTENT
Familiar world.
New possibilities.
Accuracy to the live version of Diablo III provides the foundation. From there, we’re building toward more meaningful choices, more viable builds, and new reasons to return to Sanctuary.
Make every set a possibility
Meaningful set adjustments and more viable playstyles, giving you more ways to build the character you want to play.
Revisit past seasonal themes
The ability to return to past seasonal themes and experience the ideas that made those seasons memorable.
A new stage for seasons
Custom seasons featuring new mechanics and systems, developed and tested before they reach the community.
More to discover. Better to play.
New gear sets, abilities, and further quality-of-life improvements that expand what’s possible in Sanctuary.
COMMUNITY DRIVEN
Help shape what comes next.
Project Sanctuary is a passion project built to be shared. Your bug reports, build feedback, and suggestions will help us identify what needs attention and decide which improvements matter most to the people playing.
Community discussions and polling will help shape future patches and choose the season for our live launch. Join our Discord to share ideas, take part in testing, and tell us what you want to see in Sanctuary.
The scope is ambitious. Features will arrive in stages as they’re developed and tested, with stability and a fair playing field at the heart of our decisions. No pay to win. Ever.

THE GOAL A complete, dependable foundation for testing.Put Sanctuary to the Test
Host an open beta starting Soon™. The beta will run until all necessary performance, stability, and system checks are complete, and reported issues have been fully investigated and fixed.
- Performance and stability under real player load
- Full system checks and community bug reports
- Investigate, fix, and verify before moving forward
STABILITY FIRST Strong and dependable results determine the finish.A Season Chosen by You
Estimated Launch Date: Aiming for late October or November.
Launch with a season the community helps forge and choose through polling. Your votes will help define Project Sanctuary’s first live season.
THE NEXT STAGE Community polling will shape the launch season.Expand What’s Possible
Expand and improve current systems while introducing new systems, mechanics, items, sets, and class abilities. Keep building a Sanctuary with more depth, more choices, and more ways to play.

Support The Project
Always free to play. Supported by those who choose to help.
While the server will remain free to play, server hosting and development time can be quite expensive, especially if the project grows and welcomes a larger community.
If we open Donations they will always remain entirely optional and will never be forced or required.
OUR PERMANENT PROMISE
We will never offer a way to donate for pay-to-win enhancements, boosts, stat increases, items, gems, gear, materials, or gold or anything else that would create an unfair advantage.
In the future, shaped by community input and polling, we may allow people to support the project by purchasing cosmetic items only from the shop, such as wings, pets, and banners.
Thank you for helping build Project Sanctuary.
