I found a classic prison server that is trying to feel like the old grind again. It is barebones and nostalgic and it wants you to work for your gear instead of starting stacked.
You start with basic tools and leather armor then you mine and smelt your ores. To sell you have to move through PVP zones and get to the Commissary so it feels risky and not like easy instasell.
There are ranks from A down through H then Parolee then Citizen. If you hit the top rank you can prestige for special rewards.
Guards are a big deal here. Swords and potions are illegal and guards will fight you if they catch you with them. You can also get sent to solitary for bad conduct.
For money there is mining fishing and growing special illegal plants in your cell. You can rent a cell or a plot to store stuff build and run your own shop. There are quests bounties an auction house and parkour around the prison too.
