Wonderful! If you'd like to join the main discord is here: https://discord.gg/vsciv DM me if interested in Olivae in particular or you otherwise need help.

Ah sorry, I did not check that. Yes it is 1.21.6. You'll need to make a whitelist application and it's worth considering many people use local voice chat via the RPVoice mod. You can still type in local but spoken English fluency could be a barrier to interacting at times. There are 120+ mods, but they install themselves when you first connect. They pretty much let in anyone through the whitelist application process, they are mostly checking you're not a known rule breaker or similar.

Certainly! They are extensively prepared to hold a high pop count (over 1oo), though performance dips at peak times and with 40+ people in render distance of eachother. It is a heavily modded server about building a town and role-playing as whatever sort of character you wish across 7 real life months, at the end of which there is a wipe. We're about a month and a half deep and there is a lot of evolving infrastructure between continents + the first war has been fought. Big shakeups abound. There are 5 pre-made "Nations" but fuuunctionally these are suggestions people can break from or adhere to as much as they so desire. The present geopolitical situation is increasingly complex and I wouldn't want to spoil the fun for anyone by giving the game away, but suffice to say whether you want to join up and break rocks or mostly sit around chatting there's something engaging to do.

We have a chill group on VSC that can accommodate your desires :3 azrayel_ on discord, happy to chat about it.

Ave, true to Olivae. We are a chill faction building a Rome-themed city on an island off the southeastern coast of Caerith on the VSC server. We can help you get in game, on board you with the server and its mods, and provide opportunities to interact with whatever draws your interest—infrastructure, crafting, hunting, shipping, trade, war, etc. Nobody's compelled to participate in anything in particular and we have the necessities held down so you won't be starving the whole time while you figure out what interests you. If you want to learn more—add azrayel_ on discord and message me "Salve!" or "Ave, true to Olivae" so I know you're not a bot :-^)

Vintage Story Civilizations season 3 launched recently and is a good time. We have an active faction in a southern biome if you're interested.
