This is a classic prison server that goes for that old school grind where you start basic and you earn everything. It feels barebones and nostalgic and it pushes you to work for better gear instead of getting stacked fast.
The main path is the rank ladder from A through H then Parolee then Citizen. After you hit the top you can prestige for special rewards. Money comes from mining and smelting your ores then walking through PvP zones to sell at the Commissary so it is not just instant selling.
Guards are a big part of the server. They help protect new players and they enforce contraband rules. Swords and potions are illegal and guards will PvP you if they catch you with them. If you act up you can get sent to solitary confinement.
There are extra things to do like quests for cash or special items custom fishing parkour around the prison and bounties you can place on enemies. You can rent a cell or a plot to store items build shops or grow special illegal plants for profit if you can avoid getting caught.
