That's a pity. I liked the server a lot. Still, the complaints are reasonable. The emphasis of RealTest might be on survival - which requires hostile mobs to run around. It is also too easy to get along if there's already a lot of infrastructure around spawn and the best anvil's just there free to use for all new players. Strong mobs, hunger, 3d armor and an achievement system which requires to craft anvils first before beeing able to use them could improve the game a lot.
VanessaEs servers are a [paradise] for builders. Structures are kept - even if a map reset may be required after several years. The RealTest world is a diffrent beast. It might be more suitable for those who use very hostile mobs on their servers (rnd, Maikaumine?). Combining it with AdventureTest could also create a great game.
Anyway...thanks for providing that server up until now. It was a very nice world. Hope someone will run a new RealTest world eventually.
