There is proximity voice chat so you hear people only when they are close. That makes alliances betrayals and surprise attacks feel way more real. The world has lots of new structures ruins dungeons and landscapes to explore and there is custom lore hidden in books called field logs. You can follow clues to find secret ruins and treasure.
The server is hardcore survival with no hub no kits and no hand holding. It is whitelist only and runs Java with Fabric mods. Players are expected to make their own kingdoms hide their bases hunt artifacts track enemies and fight over the last lives. If you like modded PvP tough survival lore and politics this server is built for that style of play.
