How do I choose the right Rust server for me?

Start with what you want from a wipe: a long vanilla month, a fast 2x week, or a short, high-pop weekend. Then filter the list by region, group limit and wipe schedule. For specific styles, see the vanilla or 2x pages; for a simpler start, try servers for new players .

What does the rank column mean?

Rank is based on the average player count over the last seven days, not just the current moment. It takes into account how consistently a server holds players across the whole week, so a server that is full every evening ranks higher than one that only spikes after a wipe. You can sort by rank to see which servers keep a steady population.

When is this list refreshed?

The page refreshes every five minutes. At each update, Rust Player Count queries the Steam server list and then contacts each server directly to collect details like map seed, frame rate and entity count, as well as the current player count. The timestamp at the top of the table shows the last update.

Some servers list a reset rather than a last wipe. What does that mean?

A reset means the server starts a fresh world on a short cycle, often every few hours. These are typically aim-train, arena or build servers where the map is not intended to persist. In contrast, a wipe usually happens on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule and resets progress for a longer period.
