Edited the main post a bit but i'm not great at making a big fancy post as the server speaks for itself when logged in on.
I don't have massive towns where you can't find your way out and it takes more then five minutes to get to a place where you can actually start getting materials and build.
I don't have tons of pointless portals at my spawn to take you to random areas that do nothing but show how "creative" I am.
I don't have a "cool" floating spawn with tons of nyan cat pixel art showing.
I have a spawn with few player run shops (more can be added) and two portal that are out of the way and do not hinder your movement that leads to another town and to a player run Defend the Castle.
My world is survival on hard, pvp anywhere but spawn, and chests have no protection on them. You raid a base and find a chest simply open it and take the items out.
I simply have a server where I expect raiding, be it making mountains of lava to burn a base down or killing an entire guild to take all their land and destroy their entire base.
Server has finally advanced to the economy stage. We are getting money in place of the barter system (though it can still be used) and we now have a bounty system for people to place prices on the heads of other players and others accept the bounty to kill the player and get the reward.
Updated to 1.2.5 about to do a lot of changes to the server to make it more pvp rewarding and give people a reason to fight instead of just hide in their base.
