The Pen is a classic prison server with that old grind feel where you start with basic tools and leather armor and you have to work for better gear. It is meant to feel nostalgic and barebones with real progress instead of everyone being stacked right away.
Mining is a big deal here because you have to smelt your ores and then walk through PvP zones to sell at the Commissary. Swords and potions are illegal too so if a Guard sees you holding them they will fight you. If you act up you can even get sent to solitary confinement.
There are ranks that go from A down to H then Parolee then Citizen and after you hit the top you can prestige for special rewards. You can rent a prison cell or a plot to store stuff build and even run your own shop. There are also quests custom fishing parkour challenges an auction house and bounties if you want someone hunted.
One of the coolest parts is the illegal custom plants. You can grow them in your cell for profit but you better not get caught by the Guards. You can also become a Parolee and leave the prison to build a farm and make more money.
