This server is called Viking Factions OG and it is all about old school factions and 1.8 style combat but on a modern Minecraft version. It just had a fresh wipe so everyone is starting out at the same time.
The main focus is classic factions with real cannoning and pot pvp that actually takes skill. It uses 1.8 combat mechanics so fights feel fast and competitive. There are ranked duels with ELO if you want to test yourself in more serious pvp.
The server is not pay to win. Ranks are cheap but not overpowered and the perks are cosmetic only. The economy is made to feel balanced and raiding is supposed to be fair so it is built for players who want real competition instead of people buying power.
There are custom dungeons with special loot so you can explore and gear up in different ways. The server also runs KoTH events twice every day so factions have reasons to fight and control areas. There is a sign shop for in game items to help with normal survival and faction life.
The staff team is active and mature and they say they listen to players. The whole server feels like it is aimed at people who miss real cannoning real pvp and fair factions and want that experience on a newer version of Minecraft.

I found a semi anarchy survival server that tries to stay super close to vanilla. It has very few rules and it is meant to feel like normal Minecraft but with the freedom to fight and grief.
It has no map resets and no pay to win stuff. PVP is allowed and griefing is allowed. The world border is huge at 2 million blocks.
You can play on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11 and they recommend 1.21.10. The server is online all the time and it is hosted in New York City.
The main non vanilla thing is you can use spawn so people far out are not stuck away from everyone. Nether roof is allowed. Phantoms are removed and only half the players need to sleep to skip night.
They do not allow exploits or lag machines or duping or spamming. They also do not allow harassment or racial slurs in chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOneBlock Bosses and Crate Loot
