Today I am reviewing.....

http://www.planetminecraft.com/server/total/
When I got on the server, I was spawned inside of a fair sized house, leading outside to a fairly well built town, built by an admin (Who is currently taking charge while the owner is away) Evoforce. I wasn't bombarded with signs telling me what to do, just a sign that told me to use /rules. I used the command, and read the rules, which were the basics, no griefing, protect your chests, stuff like that. At the last page, to my surprise, talked about donations. It wasn't the fact that it was talking about donations that surprised me, but the fact that as I read on, I learned that in order to keep gameplay fair, they didn't give donators special privileges. This made me realize that the staff cared about the community, and were not money hungry people. This is also a bad thing, as I believe that donators should atleast get something for their money, whether it be recognition, or special commands. It shows the server staff cares about the players though, so I think that it is generally a good thing.
EDITS!
Ok, MidnightChan Forgot to mention that donators get a rank. This allows them to go to special ranked only worlds~
I wandered around the town, which was nicely built, I found a few more features. One of them was the fact that there was a booth, and when you stepped in it and pressed a button, you would be rewarded money for the time you spent on the server. This is great, but it also encourages afk'ing in order to earn more money.
I also came across and area of shops, in which you could buy plots to sell items. No problems there.
I also found a giant bunny, and as you might tell from my skins and such, I LOVE bunnies :D
I decided to question a staff member to see what they think about the server, and interview them. I got a very quick reply, and this is what went down.
What do you think about the server? What makes it different from other servers?
Chat ModMidnightChan
From what I hear, the usual complaints is the not able to grief and/or claim factions
But the community is great, and we generally care about what happens on the server, unlike a lot of larger servers who don't care about it much.
Also, our no griefing and the fact that if you donate you don't get any perks makes everything even.
What features does your server have, gameplay wise?
Well, we have the usual essentials, hawkeye, and mcmmo. We also have factions, and a couple of others.
I saw a sign about Ancient Relics around the world. What is that all about?
Oh, that would be the spleef thing if I remember correctly.
There is a lot of controversy with staff and pvp, so I generally don't pvp.

I then tried the warhub, which wasn't on at the time. I asked about it, like what the theme of it was, and MidnightChan Replied:
*Not 100% Correct, forgot to write it down -.-)*
I only went there a few times, mainly to watch, but that was a few maps ago. It was a heaven themed.

Scores!
Staff-
10/10
The staff was great. They replied to questions fast, and were very helpful.
Community-
10/10
Everyone was friendly, and there wasn't any fights or arguments in the 20-30 minutes I was there. For a fairly large server, that is great in my opinion.
Gameplay-
8/10
I sent my brother into the server, potter180, to see how the gameplay was when I was interviewing. He said it was fine, but that there was someone who was hacking, that flew away from him while he was pvp'ing him. I don't know what they use for anti-cheat, but I would review their choice if I were them.
Buildings-
8/10
The spawn town was built decently, but it wasn't AMAZING. It was better than a lot of servers I have been on, but it seemed a little messy to me. Overall, it is a decent looking spawn.

9.5/10
The website was awesome, it was clean, simple, and had good graphics. It showed a list of plugins, and best of all, was ad-less. My only issue is the forums, which don't have an official url like the site, which is disappointing. The forum itself though was active, and clean. It all seemed professional, other than the url.
Total Score!
9.1
A very good score~ I completely recommend this server!
