Great post, thanks for replying. However, I feel like that kind of community is mostly an illusion. Yeah, that's probably a pretty strong thing to be saying, almost like I'm completely dismissing everything you said. That's not my intent, I can understand there is a desire for casual gameplay environments. Low stress low effort places to just mess around and have fun. I get that. My issue is that this is the case with nearly every single public server I've run into. Is that simply the nature of public servers? Catering to the least common denominator? Making a place for people who don't care to put much effort into their gameplay? Most of these mod packs as far as I know have mods in them that facilitate travel. These are actual gameplay mods where you have to actually build things, even just vanilla Minecraft has that capability with nether hubs and portal linking and minecart tracks, etc. Sure in the beginning it's rough, but that's the point of playing. To progress, get stronger, better, faster. Obtain resources to build things and protect yourself and your friends and to help other players. If you're well established it should be no issue to go help out someone else without relying on a non-gameplay command. I guess my point is that if you want to play the game you should actually play the game, and travel is part of the game. Typing in a command to teleport around is basically cheating, as you're circumventing gameplay to get what you want.

Are all open servers like this? Inundated with gameplay obsoleting mods? Build an airship, dial up a portal, strap on a jetpack, morph into a bat, great ways to travel...but not needed, just type /tpa or /warp. Travel the world or build fantastic automated factories using technology to get the materials you need to create the things you want! Nope just warp to the shop and buy it with the in game currency, possibly that you paid for with real money. Whitelisted servers are the only ones that I've seen that avoid this, but they tend to be unstable. Lag, downtime, crashes. Minecraft servers are run by normal people who have to pay for and admin the server themselves. Public servers run well because they're money grubbing and people are willing to give them money. Do people really hate playing the game so much that they want to skip through it as fast as possible? I was just on a server that actually sold creative mode only items for $20! Am I off-base here? Is this not a big deal and I should really just relax?

IGN: Saedin Age: 27 Specialty: I enjoy building and learning how to use the various mods, though I'm not very good or experienced at building Location: East Coast USA I love playing MineCraft, most especially with other people on a server with a community. Ideally I'd be an in game presence who is helpful in chat and participates in server projects, like shops and spawn town. I don't want to play on an open server with all those unnecessary mod additions (essentials, towny, etc) they take away gameplay from the mod pack and community. I'd like a stable server, one that isn't constantly laggy or going down without notice.

-player section- Minecraft username: Saedin (optional)Age: 27 Why you want to play on this server: I'm looking for an authentic B-Team experience without towny, or essentials or other cheaty mods. How you found this server: Perusing the server forums. Have you been banned from other servers, if so why?: Nope. How well do you know the mods?: I know a few relatively well and I'm looking to learn more about the others. How often do you play?: Hours a day. Why do you feel you should be accepted?: I'm a friendly and active player willing to help the community in any way, with building, tips on mods, whatever. I have read the rules and know I will get banned for breaking them: Yes -Roleplay section- Role-play character's name: S Character's background story: S is unclear on how he came to be. His memories are lost and all past connections, if they ever existed, are nowhere to be found. Tall and slender with an insatiable lust for blood he hides away in his elaborate cave maze, working his necromancy and plotting. Is he some lab experiment gone horribly wrong? A fusion of human and Enderman DNA on an incomplete homunculus shell? The answer remains unclear. Character's age: Unknown

Hi I'm Saedin. Is this a default pack, no mods added? No essentials? If so I'd love to join. I'm Saedin in game as well.

Hiya, I'm Tony, I prefer my in game name 'Saedin'. I'm a 27 year old on the East Coast looking for a server with only the default mods in the mod pack (No towny, essentials, etc). I feel like they devalue the community and mods. I'm a decent builder who's always looking to learn more and improve. I'm a friendly and active dedicated player who loves to be helpful and assist the server community in any way, even if it's just a bit of advice about a mod pack I'm knowledgeable of. If you'd be willing to allow me on your server you can contact me here or my email Saeantonio@gmail.com - hope to hear from you, single player is lonely!

Never mind, it seems I was wrong. I read your server store packages and it seems this isn't the server I was looking for.

Hi I'm Saedin, in game as well. I love MineCraft, I play it a lot. I've been playing the MadPack a whole bunch of tons lately, but I'm sick of all the mobs destroying my stuff. I just want to build stuff and all the bugs make me mad. BugCraft is a terrible mod. I watch the B-Team on the YouTubes and I love the things they do. I'd like to attempt what they do, minus the YouTube video posting. I'm 27 years old, so you can expect me to act reasonably mature. I'm friendly and I don't kidnap children and eat their soft tender flesh. This short blurb is too long, sorry about that. I would love to be able to play on a server without essentials, teleporting with commands removes a lot of gameplay in my opinion.

Hi, I'm Saedin in game. I'm looking for this server, one without player teleporting!
