I found a custom Lifesteal server that is being built by the owner and their dev with their own coded plugins.
It is aiming for a max of 20 members so it should feel more close and competitive. Alts are not allowed and they plan to use an alt check so people do not exploit the lifesteal system.
Applications open Saturday and close when the server releases on Sunday.
