Minecraft PvP factions server

Hey guys. My buddy Ryan used to run a pretty successful Minecraft server which eventually died due to him having so much to do with work and college. However, now that I'm here and he has some more free time, we've decided to rebuild the server. This server is a PvP factions server, how it works is that once you join the server you have exactly two hours before PvP is enabled (you can manually turn it on if you wish) so you have a bit of time to build yourself up, and get some diamond armor/weapons. Then you're on your own, unless of course you join a faction!

• Griefing IS allowed. There's sort of a catch involved. If you destroy something with TNT, it will auto-regenerate after one minute. So, if you're raiding a base, it's easier to blow it up with TNT and get the stuff and get out rather than chip away with a pickaxe.
• There's a plugin that Ryan re-coded to work with later Minecraft versions that lets you use a hoe to pick locks on a chest, which is pretty useful if you run out of TNT or are trying to be a tad bit sneaky.
• Ryan is working on a King of the Hill plugin which will set a zone active for about 20 minutes where factions have to work to capture and hold it, and the faction that has the most points at the end will receive some in-game $ distributed amongst all of the faction members who participated.
• There's a Dueling plugin that is being worked on that is VERY similar to the Runescape duel arena if you're familiar with that. Upon accepting a duel request, both players stake items that they wish to bet. Following this, a page is opened up where you can choose what is enabled and disabled, with options ranging from armor and weapons, to consumables like golden apples and potions. Want just a manly fist fight to the death? We got you covered! This one is still in development mainly because we haven't made a duel arena yet (I'm thinking of basing it off of the RS one) so that should be coming pretty soon, but most of the stuff is already coded.

Anyways, if you like what you've seen so far, feel free to jump on over to pillagecraft.com or just go into MC and type the server IP: server.pillagecraft.com (if you do /register in-game it will register an account on the forums. This account is tied to your Minecraft name so if you ever change your Minecraft name, or rank up on the server, it will automatically update on the website. Hope to see you there!
