Indeed, however that is mainly because the majority of all other servers are using plugins via KCauldron, Thermos or alike. However, this is a very dangerous path as the mod is slowly becoming more and more incompatible with KCauldron and alike as you might know (Mevans has even said so multiple times), meaning it's only a question of time until plugins won't work with the mod anymore. We've therefore decided to run as a regular forge server, to avoid countless of bugs, performance problems, mod conflicts etc. etc.

For that reason we've looked at other solutions, such as using serverside mods (like ForgeEssentials) which can do the same things as various plugins. Our coders/modders are currently working hard on creating various custom serverside for the SA server to replace various needed plugins and add in various needed features. As a matter of fact, our own modders are currently working on a serverside mod which will (if it works) make it possible to add effects on things like rings, to make rings of power. Whether they will succeed will be revealed at some point once the modding and testing phase is over.

Best regards, The Second Age Server
