This is a hardcore SMP that tries to feel like those Minecraft civilization experiments you see on YouTube but it is always running instead of being a short event.

The server is invite only. Only players who are already inside can invite new people. This makes the population grow slowly like real life and helps keep trolls away. Getting in feels like joining a real community and not just another random public server.

There are secret tweaks and mechanics added to the game. Nobody tells you how they work and there are no guides. Players have to pay attention and figure things out by themselves. It rewards people who are curious and who like to experiment and talk with others.

When you join you are not alone. There is a built in clan and family system. You become part of a clan and a family and of a bigger story that was going on before you arrived and will keep going after you die. It makes hardcore feel less like a solo punishment and more like a shared challenge.

Most clans are looking for new members right now so this is a good time to try and get invited if you like tough survival and long term civilization building.
