Have you ever played on a multiplayer server and everyone is better than you, or would rather sit around and do nothing? This happens to me a lot, and to me it just means the server is too old. I know most of you probably have a favorite server, but what is the fun of just walking around? Sure you have a mansion and an automatic farm, and probably loads of diamond (I once had 11 blocks, and some of the other players had 3 chests full) .
It's always nice to hop on an old server and chat once in awhile, but unless your server is extremely fun and at least has something to do after you've turned into the MC Jesus Christ.
One other thing I would like to note on while I'm rushing through this topic is, PVP Player versus Play.
This is the one thing I absolutely hate. Sure I can get a good 4 kills in with my diamond blade, but when the guy comes in with level 50 (soon to be 30 D:) enchantments he just dominates the ring. He kills me takes all of my diamond gear, along with every other single person. Now you probably think "There are bound to be some obstacles in your arena Arkiloth!" , thing is, THERE IS. The people with the duked out armor can survive about 20 minutes in lava, carry golden apples with them everywhere, and have flaming swords along with flaming arrows. How much of a chance would you stand against that? Especially when there are 4 or 5 of them at a time, beating everyone (including each other for twenty minutes) in the entire arena and leaving you helpless with what nothing to show for all the time and effort it took you to obtain all of those diamonds. This is about all I wanted to say.

Let's get some feedback up in this dog

Well, if you're looking for a clean Minecraft server, i wouldn't search for PVP servers.
Always find servers that have Bukkit plugins, they are always reliable and are always safe.
And yeah, I've often been to servers where all people do is spawn trap. It's sad really.
Nice description of the horrors of a Multiplayer Server too :P

It is all so much dependant on what kind of server it is. The amount of Hamachi, griefing, hacking servers run by 10 year olds can swamp the other quality servers. For survival I've always gone for the biggest and best, run by people who know what they are doing. I attempt to stay away from ye olde PvP mainly for the reasons that you listed above, but also that I just damn suck at it! :P

For me though, the best servers have always been RolePlay ones. As they require a high mentality, you never find young people on there, and the everyone is generally friendly and mature.

The kind of server you described above, however, would be my absalute nightmare.

Just my 2 cence,
