Not trying to grave-dig but, I wouldn't recommend even spending time on servers unless if you're an owner/co-owner and making passive profit from it.
Most (not all) but most owners are just wanting money. They don't care about player experience nor about economy. I've been part of a few servers that weren't like that and it's a good feel. But sooner or later it'll come to a close. Rip your account/donations/community. Recently got into Rs again and am staying away from Private servers. If you truly want to keep playing then go ahead, I can even suggest you some that aren't leeches and have good developers. Feel free to add my d1scord Syntaxx#5412
