I found a survival server that is still being built and it is made to force people to actually meet each other. Everyone starts on the same small island so you cannot just run away and never see anyone.
Survival is harder than normal because resources are scarce and also tied to different regions. Progress is slow and it follows a more historical path. You start with knapped stone tools then work up through copper then bronze then iron. Gold and diamonds are rare and feel like a big status thing.
Crafting is more involved too. Leather and metals need processing. You need cords and bone needles for basic stuff. Pottery is important for progress and metal is hard to get without trading.
This feels like a social experiment where your reputation matters. Land claims are limited and early on it can be better to live out of mobile camps and move around. People will have to choose if they want to build a civilization together or try to control everyone else.
