This server is like real survival with chaos and danger everywhere. It is not friendly and it is not easy. You have to deal with griefing and pvp all the time and no one is going to save you.
The world started in 2014 and it never resets. That means every base ruin and trap is still out there. Your stuff is never safe if people find it. You can fight for land and gear and try to become powerful or just try to stay alive.
There are no teleport commands like rtp or tpa. Travel actually matters here. They use a custom plugin so you can make portals to get to your base. It kind of replaces a home command but you still have to play the game and move around the world.
Cheats are not allowed so no hacking and no duping items. Staff do not hover over you all day and there are no clingy admins following you. You just play Minecraft like it was meant to be played and deal with the consequences.
Chat is basically free speech but you still cannot post illegal stuff. There are no chat reports so people talk how they want. If you like rough survival and pvp with a long history world this server is made for that.
