US Server is Down, I just put in a Ticket to check on the US Server. I will try to get it back up as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience…

Hi Brave New Rust Community,

I’m finally back from the Desert Trip and I have finally start settling back down to my old computer where all my work has been. I apologize for last season, I wasn’t available to watch over the server. I appreciate Nitro and Alykah for stepping in for me and maintaining a presence online. I definitely couldn’t do this without you guys, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Overall, this server has been up for close to 11 months now, and this server has grown to become at least one of the top community Rust server that is available online.

That is because of you and everyone that comes in and out of the Brave New Rust community. I understand if you guys play different games, or if real life happens. I hope to continue to maintain this server so people can continue to play Rust. Even though I’m sure some of you guys are pretty burnt out from all the weird “ALPHA” changes, I’m sure the developers are trying their best.

Even though the server has been through the ups and down for the Rust development, the population of the servers, all the SALT or toxic players. We some how still continue to have traffic between 20-25 people on any given day.

Thanks again for playing on “Brave New Rust“, As we continue to play Rust, we hope Facepunch can finally get things balance and get this game together. Until then, here is what we have in store coming soon.

New Map on 11/3/2016, Map doesn’t wipe until 12/1/2016

No Toxic Player or Cheaters or you will be ban.

Hi Brave New Rust Community,

Its been a while since I been on Rust, and that’s because I have been traveling again working the festivals. I just finish Kaaboo 2016 and I will be off in the desert for my next job called “Desert Trip“. My life has been crazy and I’m always on a move because my life is like a Gypsy. Even though I would love to stay to play games, but my jobs have me travel to lots of places.

With that being said, Nitro and Alykah will be Moderating the servers while I’m gone. Please give them the most respect, as they will be moderating the server for toxic players that cheat or cause a disturbance to the server.

This server is for the community and I appreciate all the people that have join on and off the servers. I see everyone of you and you have made this Rust Experience very memorable. I hope with the success of the game, it will become LIVE one day and I hope this game makes it.

If you want to follow me, you can follow me on my Instagram and Snap Chat. I will try to play the Instagram and Snap Chat game more so you can get a glimpse of my world. Here are a few links of my art and work. I hope you get a chance to see my other work to see me more than just an admin/owner.

After all the bug fixes done in Rust, were going to finally do a Full Wipe on the US and AUS Servers, London is not getting a XP wipe because I just opened it. So Sept 1st, will be an even playing field for both the Australian Server and US Server.

Thanks again for being part of the community, this next wipe should make the server fresh and should bring new players to the server.

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!

Hi Brave New Rust Community,

It’s Soma again, and I have been busy with real life working and I’m finally back home in Washington. So I’m slowly trying to keep updating the website and forums with the most updated stuff. I took some time off on Rust from last season from all the major bugs Facepunch had to offer. Last season sort of sucked for all of us and I have to admit the Server took a hit in the numbers. It was to be expected but I know that’s because this is still an Alpha game.

I tried to make a PvE server and that didn’t seem to work, and a small map didn’t even bring too much traffic either. This is probably because of the recent patches and changes to the game, Rust seems to still be in a limbo. So I have decided to try to do my next move, which is to move the 3rd Server slot to London.

London was a destination that was always on my mind for a while and since the base of the game is PvP. Other formats of the game didn’t seem to fit the server reputation of what Brave New Rust had to offer. I picked London for the next destination for the Server because I wanted to bring an EU group to the Brave New Rust Community. Hopefully, we can gather more traffic and to continue to bring a great Vanilla Rust experience for everyone.

Thanks again for being part of the Brave New Rust Community,

Welcome to “London – Brave New Rust”

Launch Rust and Press F1 to bring up the console.
Type “client.connect 173.199.74.37:28026”

Hi Brave New Rust Community,

Welcome to Season VIII

Hi Brave New Rust Community,

Server Updated…

It’s been a very slow month going into Season 7 and with the game being Alpha, we have to expect this month to be not as well as the other month. With that being said we have seen a drop in players because of the pre mid wipe, and for my decision to save the buildings on the Server.

I know some people were not happy with my decision and some were happy. I’m sure I didn’t make everyone happy in this Season 7 of Brave New Rust, but please understand that I’m trying my best to make it all work.

I’m sad to inform the PvE server will be coming down and be changing to different Rust experiment. I have taken down the server because the PvE wasn’t working and wasn’t driving traffic for the game. Lots of Mod problems, lots of updates that made the PvE server broken. So I will try to make a different Server that people would like to play on. I’m currently in the works in changing it to a “Small Map, Vanilla, PVP Server”

I notice people talking about the current server being too big, but that was for the intention of a max 60 man server which we did have on the start, but because of the recent patch, it dropped tremendously.

Moving forward, next season we will go back to 4k and with this new XP system, it looks like we are starting from scratch with the game mechanics of the game again. So in layman’s terms, Since Facepunch had a bumpy patch, expect these growing pains to be better for Season 8.

Thank you for your consideration and your patience, if you don’t come back, I totally understand, and if you do, thanks for coming back next season. Stay easy and stay rusty,

Cheers,

Hi Brave New  Rust Community,

Been busy working with real life and with all the different changes of Rust, not alot of people are happy with the wipe and no wipe. I understand the peoples frustration, but please bare with all the changes, it is still a work in progress.

With Brave New Rust: PvE, with all these new changes, many mods were broken.

I took the PvE mod off so, you can continue to build. The server is still a work in progress and I have to continue to make changes. Hope that should fix something and you guys can continue to build if you would like.

We saw a lost of numbers that left the server, but like always, the server is like an ocean and waves come with ebb and flow. Here are the numbers…

This tells me that half of the server either stopped playing, joined other games, or playing on another server. Overall, its normal with the stats from last month being about the same number of user on in any given time.

Hope you enjoy some information and I will let you know if there is any more updates, hopefully by next month, everything will be more squared away.

Hi Brave New Rust Community,

So all Servers are Updated and Restored all by the mercy of “Garry”…

Everyone should have their buildings, items and level. But it seems that everything you have learn is gone again. I’m very glad that I had a chance to at least save your buildings and your inventory.

I know that Season 7 has been a bumpy ride for all of us, but hopfully Helk fix all the bugs and optimize issue for Rust. Expect more Patch Updates in upcoming days so please prepare if I have to reset the Server in the near future.

Until then..Stay Rusty,
