Good survival, community minecraft server?

It seems like 99% of the servers out there are PVP factions, skyblock, or minigame servers. I'm looking for a survival server in wich you can claim land or protect your builds. There can be pvp as long as it isn't like most of the pvp fac servers where you just build ugly square fortresses and shoot cannons. I'm looking for a server that works like regular survival and has an active playerbase.

thank you!

Added (1). in other words i'm looking for a non raiding, non skyblock, non minigame server

Check out Bosscraft, it's a community-based survival server. No pvp except in designated arenas, no raiding, anti-grief, no skyblock, and there are minigames but in a completely separate world. It's got an active player base that enjoy survival and are very friendly. Go to the website if you'd like to whitelist. http://bosscraft.enjin.com/home
