A survival server you can build on, with an RPG ladder underneath it and claims that stop the griefing. Here is what changes about survival, what does not, and which server suits which playstyle.

What changes
The fear about joining a heavily modded survival server is that survival stops being the game. It does not here: the suite adds progression, protection and end game to the loop rather than substituting a menu for it.
You still gather, craft, build and fight the world's own mobs. The suite adds systems on top of survival rather than replacing it with a lobby: there is no hub-and-instance structure and no arena you queue into to actually play.
Mobs, bosses, quests and events all feed the same XP pool, so time spent surviving is time spent progressing. Levels run to 250 and prestige has no cap, which means a long-lived SMP world never runs out of ladder.
Land claims are the grief answer. A player with no guild still holds a personal claim, and a guild's capacity grows with its level and its roster, so protecting a base does not require an admin ticket.
Whether players can fight is decided by where they are standing and, for guild wars, by the server's era setting. A survival server can be run with combat confined to declared wars and marked zones, or opened up entirely.
Elite mobs and bosses scale to player level, so a fully levelled character does not walk through the overworld unchallenged. 18 raid and dungeon packs sit behind 6 difficulty ranks for when the surface stops being dangerous.
Protection
Claims are the whole answer, and they work without an admin in the loop. A player with no guild holds a personal claim allowance from the moment they join; founding a guild turns that into territory that grows with the guild's level and its roster, and every guild level adds a vault chunk that survives even a lost war.
The exact cell counts, what a war can and cannot take, and how conquest changes who holds what are all in the land claims guide. If you are coming from Towny or Factions, that page maps the vocabulary across.
Servers
Every server below runs the same suite under its own rules, which is the point: the systems are shared, the ruleset is not. All of them are free to join.

Yes. An SMP is simply a survival multiplayer server, and the official Endless Leveling server at play.endlessleveling.net:9000 is one: a persistent shared world you build in, with the RPG suite layered on top. Several allied servers run their own, including a survival MMO and a PvE-focused realm.
Not inside a claim. Land claims block building and breaking by anyone outside the guild that holds them, a guildless player still gets a personal claim allowance, and each guild level grants a vault chunk that cannot be taken even in a war. The exposure is what you build outside your claim.
Both, separated by place and by schedule. Open-world combat depends on the zone, and guild-versus-guild fighting only happens inside declared wars, which are gated by the server's Peaceful Era setting: MONTHLY opens the first seven days of each month, CYCLE alternates seven days of peace with seven of war. Allied servers set this differently, and one of them runs PvE-focused with optional PvP zones.
It does not replace it. Gathering, crafting and building all work the way they do in vanilla; what changes is that the things you were already doing now award XP, that mobs scale with you, and that the land you build on can be claimed and defended. Nothing forces you into a class fantasy to play the game.
It depends on the ruleset you want, which is why the servers page lists them rather than ranking them. The official server runs the full suite with kingdoms, wars and raids. Of the allied servers, one runs survival and skyblock, one is a survival MMO with custom enchants and mounts, and one is PvE-focused with optional PvP. All of them are free to join.
No. Everything the suite adds runs on the server, so you connect with an unmodified client. That is also why a server can change its whole ruleset without asking anyone to re-download anything.
Yes. The suite is server-side and every addon is optional, so an SMP can take just the leveling core and leave the wars, raids and territory systems out entirely. The mods guide covers what to install and in what order.
