This is a small survival server that still feels really active. It is not a giant laggy hub and not a random private world with no rules. There are usually enough people on like a couple dozen so chat is alive and players kind of know each other.

The server runs on hard mode and keep inventory is turned off. You actually have to survive and learn how to not die all the time. If you like a basic SMP where you grind and build and talk to people this server fits that. It is not for needy players who want to be carried.

The staff here really hate hacking and griefing. They are proud of how well they catch griefers and how fast they can roll back damage and ban people. If you want a place where your builds are protected by active moderation this is good.

If you just want a chill place to play survival and hang out with people without crazy plugins or gimmicks this server is pretty much that. You can join and ask questions and everyone is usually down to talk.
