This server is really cool. I was dreading starting a new server again, it can take quite a while to establish yourself again in tekkit from zero... but twice people helped me significantly with start up stuff so I didn't have as much of a hassle with it. One of those two, the guy flew around in the nether with me to find me a nether fortress which allowed me to collect blaze rods, nether wart, and nether brick stairs, blocks, and fences. He spent about half an hour of his time helping me just for the sake of helping.
I don't think I've ever played on a server before that has had less lag than verve; it helps that I'm close to the place the server is located, but it's also not one of those servers that's running a 40 player slot on a machine that really can only handle 15 players at a time.
The only down side: I encountered a glitch that caused 10 creepers to spawn in about a 10x10 room that I have all my machines in. I'm really not sure how that happened, but because creeper explosions don't destroy buildings on this server it was more funny and amusing than a real hassle, although they did manage to kill me once. So watch out for literal crowds of creepers in inappropriate places, but otherwise you should find this server pretty awesome! :0)
