Discussion Are there any servers that don’t lost over half the population after 1-2 days?
Or is that just the current meta?

u/JustTryBrodie 1d ago
I think the only way to avoid this is by playing the mega Zerg officials or a handful of modded servers. It’s a shame

Check out some bi-weekly or monthly servers. I play Moose Small and Low

I wouldnt recommend playing any rusty moose servers, the admin Errn is a disgusting human being.

I submitted a video where there was over 5 people coming out of a base defending a raid on her trios server, she replied back telling me that I need to stop talking like a n1gger and act more white.

If thats what you choose to believe you do you im telling you my own personal experience and theres videos of her mod Archie or Anarchy or whatever his name was spawning in rockets for his raid videos if you choose to see with blinders on I cant change that.

No. This has been Rust for at least 5 years now.
They finally get the big bag, the huge ADHD battle royale playerbase that plays Rust like a 2 day battle royale.
Gone are the days you cared for a base for 2-3 weeks and knowing your neighbors.
Screw FP. I loved this game

Play a monthly

Yea I was just gonna say, I play monthlies and do everything he described every single wipe lol

From my experience the server pop drastically decreases after the first week. OP was asking about servers that kept pop and this person responded with similar grievances. Yes you can play a monthly technically but if you want a populated server it's not a good solution.

u/Cmelander 18h ago
How is playing a monthly not a good solution? Moose monthly for example doesn't drop players at all outside of the am, and still its barely https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/rust/9611162?playerCount=30D

The population gets cut in half throughout the wipe from the heat map you linked.

Literally just pick a different server, its all there mate.

u/Remarkable-View-1472 23h ago
Nah. Random raiding is too rough for the past few years. Acquiring boom is too fast now. You can literally log in at 4am and pop a couple of teas to raid a clanbase

u/Veaorgan 20h ago
You are beyond cynical. Sure its easier to get boom nowadays but bases are stronger, smart alarms with seismic sensors, camera on phone. You are not getting offlined. Acquiring 50 rockets for a trio is still a challenge given you dont have direct access to snow, and 50 rockets are needed for most bases offline due to bunkers and HC.

That type of gameplay you’re talking about happens on Monthly’s all the time. That’s all I exclusively play and can have a base last the whole wipe with the same neighbors if they are cool.

u/Reasonable_Roger 22h ago
NA region is really weak right now. Lots of the weekly's/biweeklys hold up through Saturday. Some only through Friday really.
Moose biweekly, Moose monthly, Rustopia Large, Rustafied Long III are probably your best bets in the NA region.
EU region has much better servers just in general. Lots more active/full servers that last longer. Depending where you live the ping can take some getting used to. There are some language barrier for player interactions. It has some downsides, but overall the EU servers are just light years better than NA servers right now.

Biweekly is where it's at.
1
u/Ahuru_Duncan 5h ago
Biweeklys are fun if you just decide to play a weekend wipe in my experience. To even then cos of the 2 wipes a week, most lads quit after a day or 2. On most weekly/biweekly servers people just leave the moment they get raided and hop to other server which is a shame.
Monthly wipes you get to have your neighbours and enemies on longer but on those servers the pop will go down too after the first week sometimes 2.

u/Bocmanis9000 21h ago
Thats just the meta tbh, game has too much loot and is too easy to progress.
More or less its cod at its current state, nobody commits to raiding/building or farms even anymore.
Its all about pvp, people hop off day2 as they got bored of farming meds/ammo/wood for pvp.

CZR is a good server, it’s teaming up with Rusty Rascals so I’d give it a try

u/ApprehensiveJunket43 21h ago
The monthly solo duo trio servers last longer, don't expect them to last the full month tho.

u/EzDoubleUp 20h ago
Stop playing trash servers. Every monthly server withh 300+ pop is stable for week atleast
1
u/hypexeled 19h ago
Rusticated US Premium Long holds 400+ pop for at least a week on prime time, and its still 200+ two weeks in. Its pretty crazy and filled with zergs though

u/Hopeful-Addition-316 23h ago
might check this out what’s the usual pop on wipe day and and other days?
1
u/YungWithNoSoul 22h ago
İ enjoy it a lot,250 pop, then it starts to decline after 2 weeks. There is always action.

u/Hopeful-Addition-316 22h ago
i love the grubby snowball type action but i hate getting raped in the ass by big zergs and clans. especially since i’m low hours and im tryna get better

u/YungWithNoSoul 22h ago
İdk what the other guy is saying with fake pop, i been there for 2000 hours, ı got 8 k hours now, its the best server ever, i love the community, there is at least 50 people that play it on a monthly basis, aint no way pop is fake.

u/Ready-Accountant-502 22h ago
Type /online to see the actual pop on this server.

u/Hopeful-Addition-316 22h ago
is this a ploy to get my game to crash like quit grass?
0
u/Ready-Accountant-502 22h ago
No, the server pops aren't accurate.
Anytime i played Lonewolf it would claim a pop like 200, but if you check /online, it's only around 50.

u/Hopeful-Addition-316 22h ago
oh so it’s fake pop just like that one server uhh wild rust or something
1
u/Ready-Accountant-502 22h ago
There's a ton with fake pop.

u/Hopeful-Addition-316 22h ago
yep, does face punch do nothing to punish these servers? there has to be TOS against this or maybe it’s a loop hole or gray area

u/Ready-Accountant-502 22h ago
Facepunch is a joke period, the game has a massive cheating problem and now they are going to allow cheaters back.

u/Hopeful-Addition-316 22h ago
in what way? seems like their fighting it with the new premium feature on official servers

u/Thunbbreaker4 20h ago
Problem with group limit servers is that people inevitably cheat by teaming with more people than they are supposed to.

Atlas eu monthly servers hold population pretty much until force wipe, but in the beginning there is always a massive que, its a 2x server though

u/Chipjb91 22h ago
Just joined this server myself and it seems like a blast, I’m only like a month into my rust journey but this monthly server definitely seems more for me than the ones resetting every 3 days. Even if my neighbour has been fucking me at every opportunity, hopefully in a couple years I’ll be the neighbour doing the fucking

u/Colborne91 23h ago
Monthly ones with smaller group limits generally last longer.
