Rust - multiplayer survival from the creator of Garry's Mod

The other OCUK ones (Hunger games and SPES) are very low pop as far as I can make out, I played on both for a while before Cocky's one took off and most people moved to it.. But with increased population comes increased challenge to play. For that reason I don't play on Official servers with 200 players online..

But I think the N1B server has a good balance, there are quiet times to get stuff done, and busy times when its going to be madness out there. But this all depends on the hours of the day you can play, I am fortunate that I am in another time zone and if I want to farm I can do it with 10-15 people online, I don't think I could handle playing only at peak times and would probably find another server. Because I am not a COD/Deathmatch kind of player.

That doesn't mean N1B is doing anything wrong or that it needs to change. Horses for courses and all that. There are 1000's of servers of all flavours out there.

Edit: the way I play right now is to build a base in a remote location and make stealthy scouting missions into the "hot zone" for resource runs and such.. when I am in the position that my base is done and I have sufficient, stockpiles of resource.. I'll get amongst it more and not worry about getting killed and losing my stuff. If someone kills or raids me, ill make it my job to find out where they live and get revenge. But that's just how I like to play. if there are a lot of people on and I need to go and farm some rocks, ill probably go in cloth with a bow.. then I wont cry about losing my good gear. :) The most I can lose is the rocks I farmed while I was out.

I've met a number of people on Cocky's server now, some have found me and I have found others. Yet to be killed since that first incident so it doesn't seem too bad. I prefer running into people than not, I don't want to play single player.

me and my son got killed within a few minutes of spawning anytime we tried to get resources.

you can't just go and make a base in the middle of nowhere where the resources don't spawn because you have to get the resources first and loads of people seem to just run around them looking for people to kill.

I know the game and played on the original ocuk hunger games server for about 16 hours and never had a problem because 80% of the people on that server didn't kill naked people with a rock.

even when I wasn't on with my son a few days ago don killed me 5 times in a row when I tried to gather stuff.

cocky either needs a better starter package or some rules against random fresh spawn/naked people killing.

as I said yesterday what is the point in the starter kits?

give people enough stuff to start a small proper house with a bed a fire place and a bit of food so they can get a base down in the middle of nowhere and then if they do die they can just respawn there again and have another go.

it's not so bad being killed when you have somewhere fairly safe to spawn after but when you just keep spawning in a random place even if you know the map the game is a nightmare even more so if you are attempted to get started with a friend and you have to keep trying to find each other on the map.

after about 20 minutes last night we had both used our 3 teleports up from people with the KOS attitude.

only 1 guy did not kill us a person who gave us both 8 chicken out of all the people that stumbled across us.

surely what keeps servers alive is fresh players? if everyone struggles so much to get a foothold on your server then surely over time you will only have the same few people and eventually they get bored and don't play any more.

you get no new players to keep the pop up?

if killing people that are naked with a rock on site isn't griefing then I don't know what is.
it's not much different to a lvl 60 in an mmo killing lvl 1-10 players either way you have no chance and the only thing a person gets from it is the orgasm of killing someone who never had a chance for the purpose of trying to make their life a misery.
I know you can't really police it but your whole server seems to have the attitude you must kill everyone on sight.

I guess nate made people that way

Can add my server to the list, good admins, no hacks, C4 Air drop only

Name:
[UK] SyNPvP-Friendly Admins/Noobs Welcome/Sleepers/1/4 Craft
Connection Info: 77.246.174.114:28075
 
Currently 5 people on my server only been up for just over 1 day so everything's fresh.

Airdrops kick in at 4people until the server starts to become more populated then i'll increase it. I'm slowl inviting people from the old server i played on prior to it dying that are decent.

Arknor try my server if you want

Would happily welcome anyone off here

I'm playing as Gregmond on Cocky's server and would love to group up and maybe build some interesting bases with other folks am or happy to help out people new to the game with some gear and bits. I think it's all to do with reputation on Cocky's server, people tend to leave me alone once they know who I am, not because I'm aggressive but because they know I leave folk alone and am peaceful (also probably cause I'm cack ;) ). Where I have been killed without questions being asked they've left my gear alone and let me tp back to it whilst they watch over it.

Lovely server with very nice people, get some people who fall out or some kos'ers but thats part of the game.

Yup, northwest of the map.

Hey Cocky, could you help me with some oxide plug-ins?
I've got the economy feature but when i tried changing item values it became bugged.

Hey guys,

my servers getting a little popular now and i just wanted to announce that next saturday will be the first hunger games competition. The idea is that i put all participants (fresh spawns) into a room with a door, the door is connected to a maze which contains storage boxes full of random weapons and items. Contestants have to be the last man standing.

Prizes:

1st place: £10 (paypal gift)
2nd and 3rd place: £5 (paypal gift)

I'll be up for playing this, sounds fun. Great idea!
 
Ive just bought another server as the lag is doing my head in, im currently transferring everything over so all your stuff will be saved.

There is 25 days left on the old one so might be worth carrying on with it until the next wipe then change servers?

My mic works perfectly in vent/skype/other ingame, but for some reason it sucks in Rust, any ideas?

Got any other mic (webcame,lappy internal) attached to PC? Even if it's disabled some progs can sometimes pick it up unless completely removed from device manager.
