Welcome This server is a bit of a vanilla twist. I’m trying to keep the plugins as low -key and quality of lifeish as I can. Most features will be open right off the bat. I’m not big on rank locks and payed content. I am new to setting this stuff up so forgive me in advance XD. I’m willing to add and remove stuff if enough people want it.
