Avalon RPG is a Minecraft server that feels like a real MMORPG inside the normal survival world. You play as a guardian who has to defend Avalon from a great evil and you can either go solo or build up your own kingdom with other players.
The server has seven different classes like warrior mage rogue paladin summoner cleric and marksman. There are six story chapters with over two hundred quests and tons of npcs so there is always something to do. You can fight through dungeons and raid bosses and there are daily loot drops so boss fights actually feel rewarding.
There are custom skills magic weapons and armor plus pets that you can capture train and level up. The kingdom system is based on towny so you can join a town or make your own and build it up with friends. There are also crates banking auctions and a global market plus custom fishing and crafting and you keep your inventory on death.
The rules are pretty simple. No griefing or stealing no scamming and you have to be respectful and ethical and use common sense. The server is built with a lot of plugins to feel like games such as big fantasy rpgs but it still looks and feels like Minecraft so it is easy to get into but deep if you want to grind.

The Pen MC is a classic prison server that feels like the 2014 era. It is barebones and grindy and you do not get overpowered armor. There is no instant sell so you actually have to smelt your ores and make the trip to sell through pvp zones.
You rank up from A to H and then you can reach Parole. After you max rank you can keep going with a prestige system. The cool part is you can choose how you grind because there are different paths like mining fishing mob arena combat and a bakery style cookie farming system.
The server has guards that enforce contraband rules and there are illegal crops that are high risk and high reward. You can rent cells and plots and use an auction house plus player shops. There are bounties solitary confinement and parkour too. Paid stuff is not meant to be pay to win because everything premium can also be earned by playing.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFantasy Nations RP With War Machines
