In this modpack, you will be able to start from a vanilla, normal experience, and progress toward civilization and automatization, the age of the machinery and progress.
I am currently working on a potencial server that could be extremely interesting for this modpack. Of course, some mods would be added with time both to the modpack and to the server, but these two may not coincide and you may have to download mods individually. I will try my best to prevent this.
Going back to the server, I am currently planning on creating an open-world (duh) faction base/city-creating server, of course PvP and with a great variety of features like a military rank system, reasonably prized VIP ranks (I'm planning on a list of prices that go from 1€ to 15€), a worked-on shop (which is lacking in a lot of servers for pure laziness) and a VIP shop, etc.
I am currently looking for volunteers for the Staff team, since I am on my own at the moment and totally unable to manage the entire server and its potencial community by myself. There are few requirements, however I take them seriously. They are: experience with at least two major mods of the game (eg. buildcraft & Applied Energistics); capacity of taking seriously the charge (usually paired with ages above 15, which are preferred); a personal interview with me (nothing more than a Skype conversation with a couple questions and a first friendly contact); politeness and a minimum of matureness, most importantly for conflict situations; and the MOST important one: principle of reasonable force. Abuse by staff members will NOT be tolerated and there will be different ways of spotting and reporting abusers, so do not even try. Experience with mods and plugins would be very appreciated and rewarded with high rank administration within the server, but are not necessary to become basic staff members (Moderators, etc).
