Official Rust servers

Published wipe schedules on official servers are monthly for most, but the next wipe estimate is what the server has actually been doing, so it can differ from the published day. If you are planning a long wipe, trust the estimate. Group limits are mostly the default eight, but some partners cap at four or three. The Group column shows anything below eight and stays blank for the default. Region matters too: European servers hold the largest share of players, so their queues build in the European evening. Check the queue column next to the player count before you commit to a server.

Official servers are not all identical. Some are vanilla, some carry a small number of mods, and the Tags column shows which. The population swings are predictable: the first hours after a wipe are the busiest, then numbers settle. If you want to filter by region, group size or wipe schedule rather than sorting this table, the full server browser has those controls. Community servers that run close to vanilla settings are on the vanilla list. For the live total across every public server, see the player count page.
