Since I don't like list and think they are rather soulless, excuse me if I write a bit of a post. I've been burned out of minecraft for quite a bit. I started playing (started playing a good 2 years ago, was 1.2 beta if I recall correctly) and I immediately started looking for a way to make the game experience shared.
Back then I found an awesome whitelisted server, Epic Saga Online. There, thanks to the admin, I made friends and got into the amazing community, and learned all kind of tricks from survival gamers and builders alike. With time, I gained the trust of the admin, who made me Operator to handle the ingame moderation for him. I even supervised a pretty massive new world change, building a nexus for the world and defining the playground (I even still have the save for that one, was rather fond of that build, and if you look at reuben4boston on youtube, he happens to have a couple of videos on the subject).
Of course, everything sooner or later ends. And so did ESO. By that time, I was already tired of the default minecraft. That's when I discovered industrialcraft, in one of its first iterations. From there, I started following more and more mods, basically trying everyone I humanly could.
But playing alone was fun up to a certain point. So when all the mods I really enjoyed became multiplayer compatible, I jumped on the opportunity. Using the knowledge from my OP days, I founded a server myself, Eudora.

I always like to say that for a short while, that was actually the place where I hosted the multiplayer testings for SirSengir as he made Forestry. I still have the save of the base we built together.
Eudora ran for a good year, with both veterans from ESO and new users joining in the community (I always made sure that everyone was fit to a community environment: if someone proved to be distruptive, I kindly asked him to leave, after giving him a savefile of what he had built). The server was expensive, but I could afford it, and that allowed me to avoid asking for donations. Eventually, tho, I realized just how stressful administrating a server really is. So, when I started being bored of minecraft, I really didn't have the will to continue. And thus this other experience ended (
here and
here are some videos I made about the server)
Now, after a good 6 months, I'm starting to dig minecraft once more. But I don't want to bother with all the administrative stuff behind starting the server once more (and promoting it, too). That is why I'm looking for a good, small community of people. Playing alone is fun to a certain point. The amount of new mods and improvements on the old ones is really amazing, and I'm really digging the added difficulty of Gregtech, as well as all those other cool stuff.
I am mostly a cooperative player: it's likely I will find a couple people that I run around and have a good relationship with, or just build contraptions for communal use (like a power plant for everyone to hook up). I tend to really like building towns for that very reason. I really care for aesthetics, which often means I don't build machines until I have a proper "decoration" for the machine room, and stuff like that. I am a big fan of steampunky looks, as the videos above will probably testimony. Teamspeak would be amazing and, while I don't write much on forums, I do read a lot on them
It also helps that the additional mods you plan on using are some of my favorite additions
So, if you are looking for a friendly Italian, who has a weird mix of accent to spice up your teamspeak and likes building cities with other people, that's me, 0positivo
Thanks for reading through this amount of text
