Kingdoms of Elysium is a modded faction RPG server that feels very social and very chaotic. It is built for player politics and big choices and constant interaction. The world is magical and it uses Apotheosis and Iron Spells.

It is not the usual factions style with safe land claims and quiet towns. PvP is more about tactics and planning than just having the biggest group or the most free time. Being brave or sneaky can pay off more than grinding all day.

The economy is risky on purpose. You have a balance system but also physical money so you can carry gold and risk losing it if you die or hide it somewhere safe.

It also avoids scripted roleplay and avoids admin driven outcomes. Stuff like morality and war and logistics and your reputation pushes the story instead. Towns can be built or attacked and they can have NPCs and lore and religions and rituals.

Progression is slowed and expensive gear costs more and the server focuses on early game variety. Boss drop gear is randomized so items roll different stats and you have to think about your build and not just armor value.
