This server is a hardcore SMP that is made to feel like those big civilization experiments you see on YouTube but it is always online instead of just being an event.
The server is invite only. Only players who are already inside can invite new people. This makes the world grow kind of like real life and it helps keep trolls out and keeps the community active.
There are a bunch of secret tweaks and mechanics added to the game. There are no guides for them. You have to figure them out yourself just by paying attention and playing a lot. It makes the world feel fresh even if you already know normal Minecraft.
The server has a built in clan and family system. You do not just spawn alone on a hardcore world. You join as part of a clan and a family and a bigger story that started before you and will keep going after you. Most clans are looking for more members so new players can try to find a group that wants them.
If you want to join you need to talk to current players and see if someone is willing to share their personal invitation code. There is a wiki page that explains how those codes work and how to use them.
