Some people say its better without EE, but most will want it. It doesn't matter weather a server has EE. There are much more mods in Tekkit except EE. Tek Ventures is a great server because it brings people together and embraces other mods. Who cares if you have to donate to get EE. If you love the server you'll play on it. No body forces you to play. Everyone has the right to play on a server they like and i love TekVentures. It is my home. In my mind TekVentures is the top of the top server in Tekkit
