SoylentNews is people

So, I've recently revived my gaming streak, and for as long as I've gamed, I've always enjoyed interacting with others. As such, I'm curious what games SN folks play. I've been strongly tempted to setup a Minecraft server for SoylentNews, but I don't really want to put in the effort if no one else is interested in playing. So, here's my simple question for the community; what games do you play, and would you want to play on an SN hosted server?

I'm tempted to make any gaming-related things be a subscriber perk, as an attempt to both increase subscriber benefits, and make such a target harder to grief. Not sure if it's a great idea, so I'd love to get feedback below.

    I'm not sure which server mod it is, you can disable the creation of pretty much anything on a case-by-case basis. So, no IC2 quarries or chunk loaders keeping huge numbers of chunks up and hogging resources, that kind of thing. Although, Personal Anchors are handy incentives when fund-raising comes about.

    It's built into the mod itself as part of Spigot. I'm fairly sure setting up a server probably the first thing I'm likely going to do once I have access to non-shit internet, I'm just on the fence if it will be vanilla or one of the FTB modpacks (and if its the later, what a proper spawn site should look like)

      True Vanilla gets old very quickly these days, while the mod-heavy packs can take quite a lot of work to admin. FTB do a Vanilla+ which looks pretty good, and Lite 3 is actually pretty sophisticated now.
