Choose Towny if…
… you like managing, recruiting residents and growing a town, then a nation.
Found a town, recruit residents, form nations and manage your territory. Towny servers focus on building together and politics between players.
Choose Semi-RP if…
… you want a more social survival, with jobs, a player economy and a town to bring to life, without strict roleplay rules.
Semi-RP combines the freedom of survival with roleplay elements: jobs, towns, a player economy, without strict immersion rules. A good balance for community play.
