Basically, control.
Private servers have no control over the client. It's what the Koreans put out and we modify it using diffs provided by the guys who reverse engineer it. The slow way, via hex editing.
What Doddler is doing is remaking the client from scratch. He's already done making it look 1:1 with the original game. Once you boot it up, it's visually the same. I mean, the UI isn't there yet but the actual graphics are identical.
But now we have control over making new classes(servers that do this current overwrite existing one). Not just that, we can make custom homunculi, custom weapon/shield sprites. Hell, you could even make equipment visually appear on your character.
We can have dynamic weather and day/night cycles, shadows that move over time as the sun/moon goes overhead. You can make entirely new menus. You can have entirely new monster behavior.
You can change the control schemes, too.
Want WASD moves? You can have it.
More info on minimap? We can have it.
Want to have 1st person view? Got it, senpai.
Anything your heart desires, all doors open. Playing in VR, multiple players riding the same Peco Peco, actual flying, vertical maps, extremely long maps without transitions, no desync, split screen couch coop. The sky's the limit.
tl;dr it's the holy grail of customization being given to a community that thrives on customization
