ArcticMC is a brand new survival server that mixes towns and faction style fights. It feels chill but you can still claim land build up your place and team up with other groups or start problems if you want.
PVP matters here and they run it with an honor system. The details are in their rules so people know what kind of fights are allowed.
It also has McMMO style skill leveling so you get stronger as you play and unlock abilities over time. There are custom items too and they even have furniture that is entity based so they plan to limit it per chunk to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks more realistic with big mountains and nice valleys. The vibe is calm and friendly and more about hanging out exploring and building without total chaos.
