Nostalgia related Minecraft servers, such as [https://puucraft.net/ PuuCraft] (6,000 players total, as stated on the website) and [https://www.retromc.org/ RetroMC] (around [https://statistics.retromc.org/ 10 players daily]) still exist and run on version Beta 1.7.3 of the game - that means they're unable to authenticate their players (whether they want to or not). Any sort of "nostalgia trips" with friends also require server and client modifications to prevent bad actors from accessing their server (assuming whitelist is enabled).
