This is a classic style prison server that feels like the old days. It is not an OP prison and you actually have to grind to rank up. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you work your way through the prison ranks.
You mine ores smelt them yourself and walk through pvp zones to sell them in the commissary. There is no insta sell so the grind is real. Swords and potions count as contraband and guards will fight you if they see you with them.
There are ranks from A all the way to Parolee and Citizen. After you hit the top rank you can prestige for special rewards. If you become a Parolee you can leave the prison and build a farm to make even more money.
You can rent a prison cell or a plot to store stuff grow illegal custom plants build or make your own shop. Those illegal plants are risky because guards can catch you. There are quests that give extra cash or special items and there is an auction house for selling things.
The server also has custom fishing parkour challenges and a bounty system where you put money on other players heads. Guards and senior guards keep order and can even send people to solitary confinement for bad behavior. It is a grindy prison server with pvp danger and a focus on old school community play.
