GulagSMP

Lifesteal links survival progress to combat. Player kills can increase a player's available hearts while deaths reduce them, so losing fights can weaken future runs. Players also improve through resources, gear, money and rewards earned across the survival world and competitive activities.

The Gulag is the server's defining custom system. After death, a player may be placed in a dedicated Gulag fight, given a timer-based route out, or allowed to use an escape item, turning death into a separate PvP challenge instead of a simple respawn.

GulagSMP uses a shared survival world where bases, resource stockpiles and player relationships create much of the ongoing conflict. The world suits players who want to build while remaining exposed to raids, theft and hostile encounters.

Open survival PvP is central, ranging from ambushes and base raids to organized kit duels and Crystal FFA. Players must manage positioning, equipment and the risk of losing hearts rather than treating every fight as an isolated match.

An in-game economy supports the server's survival and PvP loops. Players can build wealth through normal play and use money in competitive activities such as wagered duels, while ranks and keys are available through the official store.

Organized activities include King of the Hill and free-for-all events with prizes. These give players a more direct competitive objective beyond ordinary base defense and survival PvP.

The server maintains a Discord community for announcements, support and staff contact. Store support is handled through Discord and ticket channels.

PvP, griefing, stealing and raiding are allowed as part of the server's playstyle. Hacking and x-ray are not allowed.

The official store sells ranks and keys. Store purchases are final, and the published payment policy warns that chargebacks or payment disputes can result in a permanent server ban.
