This is a hardcore SMP called Bloodlines that is built around civilizations and clans. You do not just spawn alone. You get invited and become part of a family and a clan that already has a story.
The server is invite only and every new player has to be invited by someone who is already inside. This makes the population grow slowly and helps keep trolls away. It feels more like a real world where people know someone to get in.
There are secret tweaks and special mechanics on the server but there are no guides. Players are supposed to discover everything by themselves. If you pay attention and stay dedicated you get rewarded by learning how the world really works.
Because of the clan and family system you always have people to play with and work with. The goal is to build up civilizations and see how they rise and fall over time in a hardcore world that is always on.
If the original invite codes are gone you can still try to join by talking to players in the community and asking for their personal invite codes. Many clans are looking for new members so there is a good chance to join if you put in the effort.

This is a really tough hardcore SMP that is all about building a real civilization over time. It is not open to everyone. You need an invitation code to join.
Only people who are already on the server can invite new players. This makes the population feel more natural and keeps away random trolls. It also means that if you get in you probably care about the server and the story.
There are secret tweaks and mechanics in the world. Nobody gives you a guide. You have to pay attention and learn everything by playing and exploring. It rewards players who are curious and who do not give up easily.
You never spawn totally alone. The server has a clan and family style system. When you join you are part of a group and part of a story that started before you and will continue after you. The server is made to feel like a long running civilization experiment and not just a short event.
If the original invitation codes are used you can still try to join by talking to current members. Many clans are looking for more players right now so this is a good time to try and get invited.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
