I do not mind when pvp is active, I do not mind survival, matter of fact my server is mostly set on survival and anything I build for myself is done on survival. Things built that are server related are done in creative mode. My server even has a monster arena where you can compete with others. I also am building a dungeon tower that players on my server can go through dungeons and win rewards. As I said though, my server has a much less player base due to keeping it only available for the ab/dl community.
Also even though the area of buildings is much smaller in comparison since I have a lot less players it looks at least 100x better as the building are designed really well. Not just a bunch of random towers with water every where. I was seriously trying to find something on that server that I liked, and couldn't find anything. Well the castle you start in is ok I guess. I suppose I could continue to travel and search for something better, but that is their main area on the server, it should look good as it represents their server. The fact it looks bad makes me log in and want to log right back out.
As for not anti greifing? That server has anti greifing plugins on it. So you are wrong about that. It's not like they do not use them either, there where a few areas I could not access due to anti greifing plugins. Unless you don't know what the word greifing means?
I didn't get to into commenting on the server in my last post because I didn't want to state my opinion and spar the server.
However, after the arrogant comment "It's factions pvp not anti griefing survival happy fun time." trying to make me look stupid or something ... I decided to go for it anyway. That comment isn't the issue, the issue is the server just sucks. I even tried talking to the players and not a single person even talked to me. Mostly just ignored me. Then I got stuck and was ignored had to drown myself to get myself unstuck instead.
The server is very unwelcoming. They even have to tell their players to welcome new players. Even though I only got welcomed by 1 of them. Do you know what that says about the people on that server? That shows that a small group are actually frequenters rather then the server actually be popular. Newcomers come and go, rare for anyone to actually ever stay permanently. You are very likely to see someone once, and only once. The server has a high player turn over rate, which is sometimes mistaken for popularity.
Fact of the matter is, if you list your server on a server list, you are likely to get players, if you want to keep those players, you have to be good. It isn't hard to get players ... it is hard to keep them.
From the looks of it, the admins don't know how to run a server properly, and probably barely know how to use world edit.
Do you want me to show you the difference between something nice and something ugly? I can post some pictures of my server world. And post a comparison of the server you play on.
Now I am sorry if I took your comment the wrong way, but it really sounded like you where trying to be arrogant to me. Either way, I feel I gave the server a fair review.
Edit: I also have to mention, you don't need to make a game hard to have respect for what you build. Building are only as useless as you make them. I make train stations, they are used. I make arenas, they are used. I make dungeons, they are used. I make things that are fun to explore.
Minecraft can be a faction hardcore type of game, but again, the problem is not the game type, it's the server. I simply didn't like it, and it had nothing to do with the game mode. Had to do with the server itself.
i just dont have the option of leaving my computer on 24/7
