ArcticMC is a new survival server that just started a couple days ago. It mixes Towny and factions so you can build a town then claim land and make allies or fight for territory.
PVP matters here but it is supposed to be honorable. They have an honor system that gets explained in their rules so fights do not feel like pure chaos.
You can level skills with McMMO while you play. It feels more like an MMO since you train stuff like mining and combat and unlock special abilities.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the land looks realistic with big mountains and valleys. There are also custom items and even furniture but it is entity based so they plan limits to help with lag.
The community is described as calm and friendly. It sounds like a place to build grind and explore without everyone yelling all the time.
