UPCOMING SERVER ROSTER

Our goal for the rest of this year is to get the Network to a "baseline" state. This means offering a whole host of servers that, while still entirely original and creative, have a higher degree of outright accessibility than our ultimately planned RPG Servers, so that we can start to build an active, engaged and unified community over time. 

​

To accomplish this, starting from July 16th at which time we will be dropping 3 new server types at once, we will be regularly adding more servers to the roster month-by-month!

​

LAUNCH SCHEDULE:

​

July 16th - Vanilla+ / Vanilla+ Primitive / The Purge (US & EU)
August 20th - Ages Progression Server (US & EU)

September/October - Hardcore Survival (US & EU)

October to December - New Servers TBA

These servers will offer players the chance during server off-hours to gather at 4X and bunker up, with the ability to PVP only at Monuments, with pure mayhem unleashed at server prime times: once "The Purge" is enabled, PVP is allowed server-wide, nowhere is safe, gathering is reduced, and structures will be 2X as vulnerable as Vanilla!

Our Server Page & Info Page have both been updated to reflect these changes, as well as our #in-development section on our Discord. 

RPG LITE SERVER STATUS

Once again we wanted to thank everyone who has played on the server so far and provided their feedback! We had 440 player connections in total, and the data we've been able to look at as a result has been very helpful.

​

​

​

​

It is based on this data, as well as feedback we've accumulated in the 3 or so weeks since the server launched, that we've been able to come to a hard conclusion which we will share with you in this section.

​

Each server we create has a concept and an intended audience. The concept of the Vanilla - RPG Lite Server was to act as a kind of bridge between Vanilla Rust and the more in-depth RPG Servers we will eventually be offering. In terms of audience, It was meant to introduce Vanilla players to something familiar but also very new and engaging, while also attempting to provide the players who already enjoy RPG-type servers with a server concept to rally behind.

​

However, what was intended to act as a "middle ground" concept (and "entry point" for our "full" RPG Servers), in review, ended up enticing neither group sufficiently. Yes, the Beta Launch was lacking a certain amount of documentation and there were a number of other issues you could point to that contributed to the overall concurrent player count not being where we wanted it to be to continue with the server, but ultimately after reviewing the data, feedback, as well as player-interactions with our mechanics as a whole, we've come to the conclusion that the core concept itself is a flawed approach for what we are trying to accomplish with this server type.

RPG SERVER - NEXT STEPS

With all that said above, when the Vanilla - RPG Lite Server ends its current wipe on July 2nd, we will be shutting it down. The upcoming Vanilla+ Servers will then take its place. These upcoming servers will essentially serve the same purpose but in a more accessible manner, as they do not take anything away from Vanilla Rust; only add to it with new and fun features. 

​

Once the July 16th Servers are live and we continue working towards our "core" slate of servers listed above, we will in parallel be working on what we consider to be the major point of the Network itself: our main RPG Servers, starting with what we will be calling Vanilla RPG. This server will utilize all the planned changes we had for RPG Lite, plus quite a few more.

​

Essentially this means we are combining the RPG Lite and RPG Plus concepts into one, as it has become clear that once you venture into the realm of making an RPG server, it really doesn't matter if it's a "lite" version or a "plus" version, as it is already a specific niche of its own.

​

All Server Reward Points that have been earned on the RPG Lite Server will be credited to players on both the [US] and [EU] Servers launching on July 16th. Additionally, anyone who has made a purchase on our Store will be given a full refund credit in Server Reward Points (plus a nice bonus!) so they can re-purchase that package on the upcoming servers.
