AvalonEarth is an earth style SMP with a 1 to 500 scale map so there is a lot of space to spread out and build your own nation. It is based on Towny so towns and nations are a huge part of how the server works.
You start with enough money to make a nation right away. You do not have to grind for hours or meet some weird player requirement before you can actually claim land. That makes it feel way more fair and you can jump into the geopolitics fast.
The server has already finished one season that started in September and it built a strong community. Now it is in the second season and it is doing really well with lots of new players and around 40 to 50 online during peak EU times.
There is a ton of conflict and wars for players who like fighting and strategy. But if you do not like war you can still live more peaceful and try to avoid battles. There is also KOTH events and a custom player head system where killing someone drops their head and you can sell it while they lose a bit of money.
Money is mainly made with jobs. You can be a Hunter a Lumberjack a Miner a Fisherman or a Farmer. That gives everyone different ways to earn cash and makes the grind feel more fun and less boring.
