Oh. I’m a dummy. Totally forgot to mention the death ban. It had a scaling ban as well. The longer you played the longer you got banned. Capped at 2 days. You could purchase lives to revive though. I too remember those other hardcore servers. Especially the one that banned you till the end of the month. The primary reason we switched to the faction server was the land claiming. Having a place that couldn’t be destroyed was neat. Hiding anything valuable wasn’t really possible thanks to various cheat tools.

Our main objective for all maps was actually to build a somewhat safe place where noobs could get free food on automated machines. You can see the signs on the page I linked :)
