Europa is a server that was founded by three friends who wanted to develop a community in the Minecraft universe where players can interact with one another in a simple and exciting way. The server offers a variety of plugins aimed at elevating the Minecraft experience without losing its underlying purpose– that is, to survive and thrive on experience gained through hours of gameplay. Of these plugins, the most notable is Towny. Players are allowed to join and create towns as a means of settling in close proximity to one another and to interact with other players and their respective towns. Europa minimizes the use of resource intensive plugins while maximizing player involvement and interaction with the exciting plugins it does have to offer. All in all, Europa is a prime example of a community based server in which everyone knows everyone and all the while friendships are made, just like that of the three founders.
