Tried by fire, forged into steel

Just over five years ago now we set out with a crazy idea: we could make Rust a civil place for everyone to play. That we could have the PvP we loved without the toxicity we hated. We built this ship with the community we had at the time and a small crew steering us into the unknown.

We've had many admins step up and down through our years here, everyone teaching us and helping us grow. But above all we had our players, the stout wood that made up the body of our strange and wonderful ship. And each of you has been a structural beam without which we would have long ago sank. Through our years you've each made an invaluable contribution to our journey, no matter where life has lead you off to now.

We made it, and it's time to let this old ship rest. We accomplished the impossible, and we couldn't have done it without each and every one who joined us on the journey. Thank you all, for all you've given. It has been an honor.

"With thanks to those who blew the wind, And those who sailed the ship, We sailed it tight against the tide, And I shall be forever in your debt" - Kirk Jones, Forever In Your Debt
