I'd totally help out, if only I had the game.

Hint hint.

But seriously this sounds interesting. I can't afford the game so unless I win it on SG or someone's nice enough to gift me it I can't help out, though I'd be willing to. Good luck, have a bump.

Nice server, friendly players - BUMP

can't seen your images. deltabladex's post will help you fix them.

I just won the game earlier today. I might give it a try when I receive it.

I haven't tried that game yet. How hard is it to learn compared to minecraft?

loading game now.. will give it a try

I'll be sure to try this.. Whenever there is a good deal on the game.

Until that, Good luck!

I really want to get guns and murder everyone.

Rust ? Is it some kind of "Day-Z"-ish game ?

I'd join in if i had it, i guess i'll just wait for when it comes out of "early access" so then i would be sure if i'd buy it or not :)

Bumping this for you.

I played the server for 4-6 hours. It was fun but I'm done with this game for now. I made this comparison earlier to a friend.

You ever play a game for 8 hours straight, save, exit, go to bed. Then get up the next day only to find your savefile is corrupt or lost?
Thats the feeling I got from Rust. Every single time I logged out for the night and came back in the morning, everything was taken.
I enjoyed playing the game itself, but the starting over each day, makes it pointless to me.

If/When the game adds Traps or AI to guard your stuff when you are away, I may step back in.

I want to thank JEEP for allowing me on his server. I had fun while I was there :D

...And then hackers came and ruined it for you. Or do you have active admins scanning the server constantly?

Sounds interesting. I've still got this server in mind, for whenever I end up getting the game. Do lawbreakers get banned from the server? Or just restricted from the town proper? I think it'd make for a more interesting server with different communities being built up on one server. Megaton vs. Tenpenny Tower, for example.

I'd love to check out this game at some point!! Scary spending $20 on a game with soooooooooooo many negative reviews about the community though :/ Nice to know some private servers are running however :) May yet look into it!

Seems like a good idea, will come take a look later today.

What a neat idea! If I can get my hands on a copy of Rust during a sale later, I'll see if y'all are still doing this.
Hopefully the devs expand things, so it's easier to make larger player-controlled cities. This has so much potential.

Best of luck with your project!

There are a lot of negative reviews for Rust. The devs said, in a recent post, "this is 10% finished." While it is true that your things can be stolen rather quickly, it is important to note that clever strategies can be employed to prevent this. Hiding in mountains, joining lower population servers, and/or being in groups is optimal. Also, to anyone who is hesitant to buy it, the price probably won't rise, though the trading price of ~6-7 keys will.

Regarding the server itself, I wouldn't necessarily call it a social project. Imagine there's a clan on a server that basically dominates it and has made their own fortress. This is basically that, though any one can join said clan. Very interesting idea, but at the moment, it does not seem to be optimally applied. Also, "60-80" residents can be misleading. While there probably are that many, including sleepers; currently, server population seems to average ~15. Accounting for the Super Bowl, that's still short of 60-80.

It should be called Rome :P

This sounds quite interesting, even civilized. I'd like to check it out, it's a shame there isn't a demo available, though. Tough to justify $20 on a game that's "10% done".

What happened to the server? Can't connect since yesterdays update
