The Pen – Old School Prison Grind

This server feels like the old prison days and it is actually kind of hard. It is not an OP server and you start with basic tools and leather armor so you really have to grind to get strong.

You rank up through A B C D E F G H then Parolee then Citizen. When you hit top rank you can prestige for special rewards. There are guards who protect new players and also hunt down people with contraband like swords and potions. If you mess around too much you can get sent to solitary confinement.

You make money in a bunch of ways. You mine and then actually smelt your ores and walk through pvp zones to reach the commissary to sell stuff. You can fish for money and also grow special illegal plants in your cell or plot for profit if the guards do not catch you. There are quests that give extra cash or items and you can rent a prison cell or plot to store gear build or run your own shop.

There is a bounty system where you can put money on enemies and a bounty board to see who you can hunt. There is also an auction house to trade stuff with other players and there are parkour challenges around the prison. The whole server is about that classic prison grind with pvp danger and a tight prison style community.
