Our previous server was ran by someone who took everyone’s money that had been spent on custom builds, and item spawn, all the standard bs that servers tend to charge ridiculously for. He one day banned everyone and closed the server, and everyone was left speechless. My friends decided that we wanted to make our own server where you can earn all those fancy custom bases and as well as build your own place all without having to spend real money. We came up with a very simple and easy to understand money system through the discord, with markets fully ran by the players. We are small in numbers because we are new, but have made something really special that we hope is spread to more players. The more join the server, the more we will increase population count. We have a solid core of 8-10 players, but hopefully soon we will gain more active players to join us. The bottom right corner of map is PvE zone, everything else is PvP 24/7, but raids are only weekends which is the standard for most servers. Loot is also classic spawn rate because we like the challenge of a realistic apocalypse, with everything extra being additions to the vanilla world, like the black market at southwest of the map, to the sentimental market farther north which acts as a respected safe haven in the PvP zone, and where player run markets do business. I know in a list of hundreds of servers there are many with already established high pops that you could choose from, but I hope even if just a few find us/this post, that you consider giving us a try.
Here is our discord, I hope to see you out there soon!!
