CSn's Minecraft sister community, Shattered Lands, will be starting their 10th era within the next couple of days. A new map is a great time to start playing!
Some info about era 10's features--PVP-enabled and peaceful worlds will be joined by portals:

Shattered Lands is a well-administrated RP server that runs several skill/political/economic plugins to enhance your blocky enjoyment. To play, you must register at shatteredlands.net.
If you are interested, but have questions, talk to me on Steam or visit the Shattered Lands IRC channel:

#shatteredlands
Hope to see you there!
EDIT: SL is no longer affiliated with CSn (though the link on the Board Index page is still up...). Didn't mean to step on anyone's toes! SL is still a nice alternative for those looking for RP plugins/rules, at any rate. Happy digging.
