nVizionMC is a chill survival server that feels like a small community but is growing fast. There is a main SMP that stays open all the time and already has a solid group of players on every day. Parents and kids play together here and everyone is pretty relaxed.
They are also working on a second server called nVizion Seasons. This one is made for RPG and adventure with some pvp mixed in. It has custom structures dungeons stronger mobs custom enchants and other cool stuff. Each season they change things and reset the world so it always feels fresh.
Right now they are letting new players in early on a whitelist so people can help shape how the Seasons server turns out before it fully launches. Voting is set up on the network and gives in game money you can spend in the shop or save for bigger things.
The staff seem patient and honest about still improving things and the community feels friendly. If you want a server that is not huge but active with survival and RPG adventure this one is worth checking out.
