Hello, and welcome to the first of my weekly server reviews, where YOU can see what servers are actually worth checking out. Today, I checked out the MineRealms survival server, which has a unique spin on the plot system. Basically, the map starts out as empty land; when you have placed 1,000 blocks and have enough credits you will receive all the unclaimed land in your current chunk. This claimed land is called a Realm. Each Realm owner can then set building privileges and even basic toggles, like PvP.
When I talked to one of the admins, Rokkerwolf312, he stated specifically that the server has a great atmosphere and community. He also stated that it was his first experience playing Minecraft multiplayer, which can be a bad experience for some. Overall, I do like the server, although they are a little bit paranoid about griefers when you bring up the fact that you are doing server reviews.
This server is one where it takes work to get established, but once you have a realm, you will realize that it is well worth the hard work. If you are lucky, someone will add you to his realm and you won't have to worry about any of the other stuff. I give this server.... 7 pork chops out of 10. I found the system to be good, but if you are attacked by a griever or simply have a hard time getting settled, getting a realm will seem like it takes FOREVER.

Look for the next review next week; the topic will be LimitedWard's spleef server! Also, if you liked it or benefited from this, please do not hesitate to give a Diamond; it is greatly appreciated.
