ANTWERP

A new and upcoming PVP network that is based around FFA combat. We currently have one gamemode called ‘GoKitz’ where you fall into a battle area and try to become No.1 on the leaderboard. Check out our discord for more information!

We have a strong no p2w policy so no need to worry about getting destroyed by someone with a low skill level. If you have skill you will thrive. If you have less skill you can become good in our economy style gameplay to still rise to the top!

Thanks, Dan
