The New Life SMP is a multiplayer server that really wants everyone to feel like they matter. It is not one of those places where you play alone even when people are online. The whole idea is that every player can make an impact and be part of the main story.
The community is international and very community driven. No player is treated as better than anyone else. Everyone is on an equal playing field so new people do not feel left out. People hang out in and out of the SMP and they actually talk and play together.
Season 2 started very recently so the world is still fresh. If you join now you can be one of the first players building bases and starting new projects. They also do monthly events and expand the world border so there is always new stuff to explore and new places to claim.
The server uses Simple Voice Chat so talking to other players is way easier and feels more natural. Progression is balanced with armor upgrading templates and there are fully custom enchantments to mess around with. The economy is totally player driven so trading and shops are a big part of the gameplay.
Overall this server feels like a living and breathing world where people actually care about each other and play together and that is what makes it stand out.
