A '''mainline''' civ[[Civ]] server is one that is part of the sequence of servers tracing back to [[Civcraft]], the originalfirst civCiv server. Mainline servers are characterized by providing a continuity of the civCiv community and culture. Generally, this means using a similar core set of plugins as the previous mainline server, having a significant portion of the civCiv community play on the server, and being a "spiritual successor" of the previous mainline server.
 
Generally, there is only one mainline server active at the same time. This means that it is always possible to trace a "lineage" from the current mainline server back to [[Civcraft]].
