Cosmic Meadows is a casual forever world that has been running for just over a year. It feels like a place where people build for the long haul and do not rush you.
They do monthly building competitions so you always have something fun to work on. There is also a colosseum that is almost finished and it shows the server likes big community projects.
The rules are simple and the vibe stays friendly. No griefing and no stealing and you have to finish chopping down trees. You can play a lot or barely log on and it still fits.
Discord is the main way people talk and keep up with stuff.
