I have enjoyed everyone's feedback! I will keep these all in consideration while testing my own survival server. The biggest thing I think so far is expected of any server is friendly staff and players. I also agree with BeaconGaming. Joining a server that has a bazillion signs to read is a pain, when all you want to do is build. I don't like that either, which is why for my server I have created a webpage with all the info. Its a lot to read, but then again, it's mostly about the plugins. What are your opinions about survival servers with plugins added. I guess what I am hoping for is .... let's say for example you join a server that has plugins and these plugins aren't affecting your game play if all you want to do is survival. Does this work?
