PurpleSMP is a small survival server that feels close to normal Minecraft but with a few extras that make it more fun.
It is mainly PvE so you can build and explore without stressing about griefers. There are land claims to protect your stuff and player vaults for extra storage. It also has mcMMO skills so you can level up while you play.
There is no server economy right now so value mostly comes from what players gather and trade with each other. PvP is off by default unless both players want to fight.
There is no world border so you can roam as far as you want. You can also use rtp to find a quiet spot and start building.
