If you love RPGs and you love Minecraft, then Wynncraft is the perfect server for you. A less-traditional minigame server, Wynncraft focuses more on an MMORPG approach. Players can choose from a number of classes, join guilds, complete quests, and earn gold within a high fantasy Runescape-inspired land. You won't do much building in this version of Minecraft, but you will do a whole lot more exploring.
And, with an average online player base of 2000-3000, the server has a thriving community of players. You'll never have a shortage of guild members to go on quests with or a lack of bosses to fight.
Originally, the server was founded in 2011 by Minecrafters Grian, Salted, and Jumla. It's had a record-breaking 1.7 million+ unique players since its creation. If anything, that just goes to show what a gem of a server Wynncraft is.
