I used to play on a Minecraft server called Civcraft[1]  which, while not &quot;massive&quot; in the conventional sense, has&#x2F;had a large enough player base and a persistent world. In Civcraft there is no skill&#x2F;XP ladder, all you have is your wealth and reputation. You can lose your wealth by having it stolen, and your reputation by your own behavior or the words of others, so it makes for a more dynamic game. Still, you ended up with people at the top of the pyramid who wouldn&#x27;t be readily dislodged, just like in real life.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;civcraft" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;civcraft</a>
