4craft is still a whiles away, but getting ready can help the faction in the early hours of the server. Make sure you add me as a friend so I can manage all the faction members in my tabs, and so I can quickly answer questions of concerns you may have. Also, if you have trustwhorthy friends that want to be added to the roster, tell them to join this Steam group and to add me as a friend. I am not the leader; I'm just filling in until the real leader gets back to the university where his mic is stored (around the 24th).

It appears that there are fewer plugins on the roster than before. Minium Stone and the farming and mining nerfs are gone. Right now CraftBook, Monster Apocalypse, and Factions are the main plugins that you need to look at.

It appears that this server will have many plugins which change the experience from that of typical vanilla Minecraft server. Everyone here needs to read the information about each one to see how it will affect our strategy and gameplay. It appears that we will need a larger farming force, for one, due to food growth speed nerfs. We will also need to defend food farms at least as well as we defended our sheep farms in the last game. The Minium Stone will probably be one of the most important changes (except please note that transmuting to gold and obsidian will be disabled).
