On Kiwike's minestatus:
Quote:This server complies well for the first little while as long as you kiss the mod's and admin's feet -it is not rare for a call of judgement to be biased (but don't ever call a moderator or admin bias or you'll be hung by your ankles). The community is good for the most part, but common flaming over grudges and subtleties make interaction with towns and nations less then enjoyable. The current map is very small, which causes much familiarity between the regulars, but also causes much hostility during inter-national and inter-town conflicts. Because of the relative closeness and small population, the PVP server is usually dominated over by the laws or treaties of a few nations (mainly one uber-nation and it's allies who make up 95% of active towns). Considering these laws prohibit stealing and killing most fellow players, this utterly ruins the PvP experience, as well as damages the almost non-existent role-play aspect. Also, it is most likely that if you are raiding while not in a nation, or attacking somebody unallied to you, the leader of that faction will declare war or make you an enemy of the state. Needless to say reasonability is not a common trait amongst leaders, or authority. This brings me to another point: as far as the server is advertised, a PvP, Rp experience is not included. Nobody really stays in character, nor is there any standardized lore. Even though X-raying is not permitted on the server, it is apparently very common and easy to cover up. The currency (gold ingots) is in seeming excess due to hoarding and cheating. Many will claim that their gold was rightfully obtained, but it is a matter of fact that when X-rayers are caught the gold stays in the system, either being left in chests, or given to the town they were in. Needless to say, inflation is rampant causing even valuable materials and resources to be worth almost nothing. It's a good server if you like small communities, and can handle a bit of bullshit now and again. A few guys here and there are really cool, and relatively reasonable. It's at least worth a whitelist application; you can judge from there.
While I disagree with some parts of this I think that other chunks of if are kind of true and might be with addressing in 3.0 or in future updates to 2.0
