Vanilla or not, the server is a lot of fun and if anyone wants to play, let me know. I can see if the mayor will clear you and let you into our secret city. ;D
Were I to join that server, it would be as a hardcore greifer and builder in solitude. I would find your city... and, oh wait: all your shit is towny, isn't it?
Towny is bullshit in a pvp-server. Carebears, all of them. Wouldn't know proper minecraft defense systems (how not to be seen, traps... the good stuff), because they engage in zero-risk play. If all the player houses and shit is towny: there is no reason to play for me.
Anyway... it's not about extras being 'needed': it's simply that there are more options available if you add more options. You haven't built anything yet... ever worked with redstone before? What a hassle... wouldn't you just kill for circuit blocks? Oh wait! Suddenly, you can build about a bazilion more things. Or paint? The handsaw? Good artistic and functional features that vanilla minecraft simply doesn't have... and that's all there is to it There are *EXTRA THINGS* which the original game cannot (or chooses to not) do.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
