I found a factions server that feels like the older style where you actually have to grind for what you get. It is not about handouts and it is made to be competitive and unforgiving.
The world is huge at 20k by 20k so hiding a base and building up with your team really matters. Raiding is a big deal here and it leans into real PvP with cannons and fights where you take what you can.
There are custom enchants for strong gear if you put in the work. The economy is player driven with an auction house and you can build farms and other automation to stack resources and get rich.
