Hello, and welcome to my first sever review! The system is that five things will be rated, and decide how many stars something is worth. Large stuff, such as security, will be worth a lot, while miniscule things such as specific plugins won't be worth as much. The server will be rated by stars, and at the end, all the stars will be rated against the possible stars.



Introduction:

Endercraft is a server with a set of options to choose from, such as No-Grief PvP, Prison, and "Hardcore" Zombie Survival. I was, in fact, a staff member at Endercraft until I left the game for reasons I will come to.

Spawnpoint:

The spawnpoint looked like a "floating island" with three other portals on the edges. I remember a fourth portal being under construction, maybe there will be a fourth option.

Rules:

The rules were simple: No griefing, No spamming, No sexism etc. Although those rules are only in the Main Realm. One who goes to the Prison first won't see those rules.

Staff:
The staff felt friendly at first, but after a while I saw their dark side. They were mean to players that just wanted information, and are inaccurate in their information (especially the Admins). Also, Moderators has access to Admin Chat, a chat that can only be seen through staff members. I have heared some gossip about players through this Chat, and I believe that is very disrespectful. The Owner, superpeanut911, drained my motivation to be there, so I decided to quit.

Community:

A lot of the average people I met are okay, and some are really nice. However, there were many that disobeys and it felt like approx. half of the people who stayed at EndercraftBuild were banned.

Main Server:

The main server is an anti-grief PvP server. You protect your buildings using Diamond Blocks, where you can get from voting. It felt great to be at the server.

Prison Server:

The prison server is a Roleplay semi-PvP server where you do certain jobs, such as mine or chop trees, to earn money to buy to more advanced sections of the prison, and eventually Freedom. I felt great at the srever, until I find people getting killed by Guards (the Prison Moderators) for PvP'ing in their sight, although it was never said that PvP wasn't allowed. Overall, it's cool.

EndZ:

EndZ is the EndercraftBuild version of MineZ. It is a little less advanced, but the average traffic makes the worry of not being able to get on the server from server limits. It's great, although people was banned from "exploiting" eg. Standing on a fence to kill zombies, when the zombies themselves were spawned by staff.

Plugins/Misc:

The Server has a website called endercraftbuild.net, an enjin-powered forum website. It has a neat layout, and even a place where people can vote for items such as EXP and diamonds. However, the voting system can be exploited by only clicking on the sites you need to click, type your name, then click "Vote!" without voting on the websites that appear.

The server had a bank plugin. You can store your money/exp inside, and through investment, you can make more money! However, the bank plugin was removed later, and many people lost a lot of money that was in their bank.

The server also had the McBans plugin, a "solution" to global banning situations. This can stop people, such as griefing teams, to go on any servers that run McBans if they have been "permenantly banned", that happens by the McBans staff manually, or when you have had too many global bans. However, despite the usage with it, McBans was too removed shortly after the bank.

Conclusion:

The server itself was great, however it seems that the staff doesn't appreciate the people coming in very well, and seems to "trap" the people into getting banned. It seems that the staff ruins the whole gaming experience. Because of this, I decided to quit the server for the people to have one less Mod to worry about.
