I've been playing on this server for over a week now, and it's been largely positive.
I'm not a huge fan of PvP, but spawn is a PvP free area, and the residence mod will allow you to turn PvP off on your property, so if you prefer to mine and build without being harassed, that's completely doable.
Equivalent Exchange is disabled, which makes the materials you gather a lot more valuable, and players have shops in spawn for trading them. They're currently trying to convert the economy to use Industrial Credits, so prices are still a bit wonky, but I expect that to get better in the future.
