Violāceus is a place for friends to create interesting things. When you join, you'll spawn in the server lobby, where you can head through portals for Survival or Minigames and get the basic info you need to start out. As the player base grows, more mini games and worlds are planned too.
The Survival side is multiplayer with extras like mcMMO, ranks, claims, player shops, economy, anti-grief, and anti-cheat. It's set up for building, playing together, and keeping your stuff protected while still having room to just do your own thing.
