Hello everyone! Today i am making the third post regarding this topic. I am doing so because i am on a mission to find the perfect server. Now many servers are high quality, get a lot of players and have plenty of good staff members to handle it all and might be questioning why they are even spending time on this. I could also help out on servers, and i'd absolutely love to expecting nothing in return, but i'm looking for a good server. I have a few friends who are on the hunt with me and also would love to join. Below I'm going to list some things that would make me want to join a server. Most of these are required for me to actually like the server.
I'm going to tell a little story of a server i once found when i first began playing minecraft. I began playing minecraft in its late beta stages. Right around 7.1.3 beta. Anyways i finally got into playing servers around November and found Torchcraft. It was a little server at the time with nothing short of 10 players on at a time. The rules included Anti-Grief and No PvP. They had strong rules enforcing leaving others builds alone. Back then many servers had qualities like this, but i haven't found one in a long time. Two years to be exact. Yes, Two freaking years. My friend and i are looking for a server like Torchcraft. One with a great community, free build, Anti-Grief, and just overall a great server with admins and moderators who won't abuse their power and grief/ban you for no reason. We want a server not to popular, but one not too small. Not one where enforcing language and such is so ridiculous you can't say crap. I've seen servers like that and they just annoy me. I don't want a server that says "Mature" in the title, you shouldn't have to state that to show people your server is good.
Staff. I've been on plenty of servers over the course of three years. 95%, no 99% of them have the crappiest staff ever. Being straight forward here, if you have a server like that take control of your staff cause' most of the staff people usually hires don't know what they're doing. Staff is there to control your server and enforce rules, not break rules and claim they can do that cause' they're staff. It's ridiculous. If i even see one staff member on your server do something abusive i'm off. I don't hand out second chances on this one. KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR STAFF.
A good Community. This one especially is an important one. My friend and i are the ones on the search for a perfect server and she knows this one just as well as me and knows how hard it is to obtain. I like servers that can have a good laugh and friendship/connection between all players and staff. It's good to have that kind of connection. It doesn't mean skyping, but it means you can have a neighborly attitude towards your fellow players.
Griefing. I know everyone hates it. I do, you probably do to if you've ever spent forever building a house for it to get wrecked. I love servers that either don't allow grief or have a community built up to where griefing isn't in mind. I hate griefing, and so do a lot of other people.
Chest protection plugins. I love chest protection plugins but very few servers these days use them. My favorite plugin in specifics is Lockette. Good plugin, protects your chests, reminds me of Torchcraft. One helpful fact about me is that if i say your server reminds me of Torchcraft i like it.
Mini Games. No one seems to understand this but mini games are BORING NOW. If you want a server like The Shot Bow Network or Hi Pixel go ahead but i'm not joining. I like smaller servers with intentions just focused around one type of server. Torchcraft was a smaller server with Creative and Survival. Those are two game modes, not two whole different types.
Now i shall list a list of plugins i like to see on servers
Essentials
Rocketboots/some type of fun plugin for messing around
Timber/Tree assist?
Lockette/LWC(Lockette prefered)
Towny(<---My friend likes that)
Why would you want me on? I Really enjoy helping out serversand recommending good plugins for them. I could help out a lot expecting nothing in return. I am a very trustworthy and respectable player. I do indeed have a channel and so does my friend. We go on servers and if we like them we might do server spotlights, but right now if we were to find the perfect server we were hoping to film a whole talk series and many of our minecraft videos on the server. Our channels aren't very popular mine being at 115 and all, but we do get good feedback doing minecraft videos and have definitely got people on servers by doing these kind of things. I enjoy making minecraft videos, especially through SMP, but we never find stable servers that we can consist most of our videos off of.
Thank You and we hope to find
the server we are looking for!
If you have a server that you think we we will enjoy please feel

I Have been looking for a server like that since You couldn't run in Minecraft. I haven't found it yet..... If you guys find the server your looking for Please message me!
This is definitely the server dream.Honestly what I like in a server is the community and being able to log on and see the same people you know and have been playing with since you started the server.
I like the story about Torchcraft because it reminds me of an experience of a server that I had been a part of and had been looking for ever since it shut down.
I started a server that I hope will get as close to the server dream as possible however it says mature only because I don't want to have people who come in build a dirt shack and leave (if that makes any sense). It also is pure vanilla so there are no plugins at all (might not be what you're looking for but it is what it is). My server is one where you build a starter home in the community and then move out and venture into the wild to find the perfect spot.
You can check out my forum, it's just barely went public so we are still trying to grow the community, however it is where me and my friend have been recording our vids for a while. You seem to be the kind of players that I would like to be a part of my server. The staff consists of my brother, my friend (turtlechip who I record with), and lastly myself. We hold ourselves on the same level as anyone who plays on the server and we respect everyone the way we would like to be respected.
I hope that wasn't too much to read, but I really wanted to give you a brief idea of what it's all about on the server. Message me if you would like to know more about my server, i'd be lucky to have you guys join
Here's another one to try. It's called Ancient Shores. I'm part of the excellent staff there. We have a great community with many friendly and fun players, and a good mix of plugins. Towny is the main one, lwc for chests, classes and jobs with various abilities, and even some magic. There is a lot to explore in the spawn town where the admins build, the many existing towns, and still a lot of new land if you and your friends want to start a new town. Anyway you can find more info on our site or even just jump in to explore. We use a greylist/whitelist system so you can look around before joining.

I understand your issues and concerns as I have them too, there are two servers I play on one vanilla one not. Dermcraft is a good server with excellent staff and a good time in general, website for that 1 is dermcraft.net, I can't remember the ip. The ip for a vanilla server is 216.158.80.218:25638 I happen to be staff on the second server and we try our best there to do what we can. The only major issue if you were to play the vanilla one is the owner is AWOL

You know my Minecraftforum of course
If we do not stay on your server for long, (Indicating we do not like it) please do not be
offended, it is very hard to actually have a server we like...or at least a server i like.
