RigoloSMP is a vanilla survival world that has been around for more than three years and is now in a small mini season to rebuild the community.
Right now the world has a smaller border that slowly expands every Friday so players stay close together and actually see each other. The next full season will have a bigger more normal border again.
The server uses simple voice chat so people can talk while they play. There are custom music discs and goat horns plus a live online map so you can see the world from a browser. There is also a core inspect type plugin and a trading card plugin that is being used instead of mob heads for this season. Players can build their own shops and trade with each other.
Donator perks are free during this mini season and they do not give any gameplay advantage. It feels like the owner really wants people to come back and make the server active again. They even left free iron in the community house for new players.
If you want a vanilla style survival world with voice chat and a community that is trying to grow back this server is made for that.
