Viking Factions OG is a classic factions server that is trying to feel like the old days but it runs on a modern version. It has 1.8 style combat so pot PvP is the main thing and it is meant to be skill based.
The server says it is not pay to win and the ranks are cheap and not overpowered. Raiding is a big focus with complex style cannoning and even an in game cannon schematics creator so you can design and build cannons without client mods.
There is a bunkers world made for base raiding plus minigames for extra rewards and fun. You can also do custom dungeons for unique loot and play ranked duels with an ELO system.
KoTH happens twice daily and there is a sign shop for items. The staff is active and mature and they say they listen and keep the economy balanced for fair competition.

The Garden is a Java 1.21.11 survival multiplayer server that leans hard into worldbuilding adventure and roleplay. It runs a bunch of plugins that add flavor without turning it into pay to win stuff.

Some vanilla features are disabled to fit roleplay better like elytra and ender chests so players build real infrastructure. You can lock chests using trial keys and craft lockpicks to break in. There are chest shops and you can brew alcohol and beers plus lots of quality of life changes.
When you join you wake up on the clouds and have to stick the landing. Then you descend the Monolith and pick a race like Human Halfling Orc Elf and more. You wake up on the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna and can sail out to find new lands or settle in a town with others.
