Just wanted to make sure everyone knew about this game. Apparently we have a local server at net.connect 105.227.0.4:28015.
 
Guys at the moment I would have to advise not to play on the only ZA server.

The community there is not good it seems unless you know people.

I saw it first hand.

Rather wait until there's another one or play on official ones.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I'll come check back a bit later to see if this is worth getting. I really don't like playing games with latency. So until everything's sorted, I think I'll hang back a bit.

We are contemplating playing this game this weekend to give it a try. What do you mean the community is not good, do the okes gang etc or what? Never played this so i have no idea what to expect, but we love games like Dont starve and Minecraft, the added feature of pvp seems awesome to me actually.

Let's just say people gang together and go raiding other peoples houses, and it helps if you know the admin......

There are also some bugs which allow people to exploit stuff so they can blow up your house with only 1 explosive.

So basically you amass some cool stuff, and then your house gets broken and everything stolen, and when you logout you are sleeping on the ground and so you can't even keep stuff on you safe.

I have started from scratch about 6 times now, it's incredibly frustrating.

I know this is part of the game, but it just doesn't feel fun missioning hard to get stuff when others just have to know someone who owns the server, and other people that use exploits to get to your stuff.

hmmm ok i see the problem. It is still however on beta i presume. I will look at what it takes to host my own server then and fish out the details here with a white list of course if its available. We have done a minecraft server before on our Hetzner box so i don't see the bandwidth being an issue.

Will let you know after we tried it on this local server this weekend.

Edit: hmm might have to scratch that for now, unless i can contact these guys.

Can I host a server?

We’re limiting the distribution of the server right now. This is because we don’t know where we’re taking Rust so we want to keep our options open. If we give everyone the server and then change something dramatically some of operators will complain about the change. If we make dramatic changes every week – a lot the operators will complain. And this is what we intend to do.

The server might be publically available in the future. But right now we’re limiting the distribution to a few select GSP’s.

That's strange... There are literally thousands of community servers...

It's only pre-alpha though, and already there's a lot of stuff.
 
Well last night i bought, downloaded and played the game. I was seriously inebriated and was a like baby a new world. Saw Pooky online didn't see him though we chatted. Met a chap Derp on my travels after dying from zombies about 5 times, he kinda of took me under his wing and to his "shelter" gave me a gun a sleeping bag and a house.

I have no idea what i have gotten myself into.

Still unsure about getting this game, got myself DayZ and loving it, still trying to see if Rust will be good as well, but looks so tempting to get.

How many players are online on the SA server and whats the max it can support? I was looking to get another SA server up for you guys which will be better managed so i did e-mail Garry and the support team but doubt i'll receive a reply.

Thanks for trying. I wonder how the current SA server is hosted?

It supports 100 players, last night there were around 63 online.

Many other servers go up to 200-250.

WOW, yea thats not bad, DayZ is also aiming at around 300 players later, only way to get a RUST server going now is if you are a trusted hosting provider, so guess they either got it from gameservers.com or another place, but also heard the dedicated server software is now leaked, but did not find it.
 
I am still having so much fun in this game, we built our place up got killed, ran away to make a new home, got raided and killed again while killing them too, sneaking around taking watch over our small village.

This game has so much freaking potential, i am keeping my ears and eyes open for the Mweb server that they are applying for.

IF you don't mind dying a lot and the thrill of the hunt and being hunted then this game is for you.

I think of it as a Minecraft on a watered down scale meets Counter Strike.

That's also the problem with the game IMO. people treat it like some shoot fest and run around in their clans raiding everything in sight just for fun. That's why I really hope guns are removed. Rather have more old fashioned weapons.

I love the fact that their are guns, i think on our server though their are guys who have dominated the drops with dodgy admin etc.

I am pretty sure though you will always get your bullies though on whichever server your on, you just need decent admin to control it. I don't think you can start stipulating rules on when to raid or not, this game is fashioned to be a human hunting game don't you think?
