SMP9 is good if you want close to spawn for an attraction center. If you set to far rendering, you can see my place from spawn, and vice versa.
yeah its a nice place but when I go on no one seems to be friendly I was told to Pi** off once by a supporter there and I haven't gone back for more than 3mins at a time (and I only asked who owned a shop)
Noone has ever replied to any of my questions on smp1 personally. All the buildings are giant and older, and built up. It has a "meh" feeling to it. I prefer to stay away.
