Hi Brave New Rust Community,

It’s been a solid two weeks of Rust gaming, and with last month shit show. It looks like the Rust Gods have fixed the balance back to the Rust world. With hundreds of bugs still on the horizon I still wonder if we’ll be ever out of Alpha.

All the Servers are all good and updated, so I hope you enjoy the rest of Season VIII. Next wipe is September 1st, 2016…

It’s been a steady month, and people are slowly coming back to the Brave New Rust Community. So right now is a great time to come back and build on the server.

Our new members from Europe are already joining the BNR: London server, and populating it slowly. We also have plenty of new members from all the servers, so everyone welcome to Brave New Rust.

Thanks again for being part of the Brave New Rust Community you all make the server and the community. Cheers to making it all the way to the 8 Month Anniversary!

Stay Rusty,
