What a version number is
The game client is updated with patches, and every patch has a number. You download a patch, put it in your Conquer folder and run it, and it installs itself. Each new patch has a higher number than the one before, so the number tells you how old or new a client is.

Some numbers from the official game give an idea of the scale: patch 7360 came out in March 2022, and patches 7910 and 7911 in April 2026. The official guides also mention patch numbers when a rule changed, for example the equipment bonus quests start over after a rebirth done after patch 5096.
Why private servers use older clients
A private server is built for one client version and stays on it. Players download that server's own client, not the latest official one. That is why Top Conquers lists every server with its version: the number tells you which era of the game the server is based on.
| Version | Group | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 5017, 5065, 5095, 5165 | Classic | The oldest clients listed here, close to the early years of the game. |
| 5517, 5700, 5731 | In between | Newer than classic, still far older than today's official client. |
| 6090, 6609 | Newer | Later clients, but still below patch 7360 (March 2022). |
| 7955 | Modern | A higher number than the official patches of April 2026 (7910, 7911). |
Classic and modern: what changes
Classic servers keep the game as players remember it from its first years: leveling, rebirth, gear upgrades and open PK. Modern versions add the systems the official game brought in later, one by one, over many years.
- Later classes: the Windwalker came in January 2017 and the Dune Wanderer reached all official servers in January 2026.
- Power systems: Perfection (2016), Runes (2018), Anima and Tailed Beast (2019), Mythsoul (2021), Astredge (2023) and Eonspirit (2024).
- A new look: in October 2017 Conquer 3.0 New redesigned maps such as Twin City and refreshed models, icons and character movement.
Many of these arrived years after the classic clients; see the Conquer Online timeline: from 2003 to today for the dates. The newest systems, such as Astredge (October 2023), Eonspirit (July 2024) and the Dune Wanderer, belong to the current official client. No source ties each feature to a version number, so check each private server's page for what it has.
Choosing a server by version
- Want the old-school game? Look at the classic versions, 5017 to 5165.
- Want newer classes and power systems? Look at the higher numbers.
- Always read the server's own page: owners can add, remove or change features, so the version number is only a starting point.
