ArcticMC is a new survival server that started just a couple days ago. It is an SMP that mixes Towny and factions so you can build a town make alliances and claim land or fight for territory.
PvP matters here and they try to keep it fair with an honor system that is explained in their rules. It also has McMMO skills so you level up stuff like mining and combat while you play.
The server has custom items and even furniture that is entity based and they plan limits per chunk to help with lag. The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks realistic with big mountains and valleys.
The vibe is calm and friendly and more about chilling and exploring instead of chaos all the time.
