I've decided to have a go at Rust again. I currently have a server online, it's about a week old now. I'm running it whitelisted players only atm until I get familiar with the game again, both as a player and admin.

Message me if you'd like to be whitelisted.

Due to lack of interest, both on the part of myself and players, I have decided to shut down Boa's Rust as of today. I simply have little to no interest in Rust, after 3,000+ hours that's just the reality of things. Population on the server has been rather poor over the last few months as well. I can simply no longer justify neither the resources on my server nor my personal time.

I would invite any Boa's Rusters to check out my 7 Days to Die server, Boa's 7 in the modded server category. That is my game of choice currently and it is good fun!

Either way, Boa's Rust was fun while it lasted, but has now come to the end of the road. It might start up again sometime in the future should Facepunch make it interesting to me again. Time will tell....

Happy gaming!

I've decided to go ahead and run the server on a bi-weekly wipe schedule for October's cycle. The first wipe will occur, forced by the devs as always, on the first Thursday of the month (Oct. 6). This will be a full wipe, map & XP. The next wipe will occur half way through the October cycle on October 20. This will be a map only wipe. Finally, and as always, next wipe will be November 3rd to issue in a new cycle of Rust with the dev-forced wipe, which will be a full wipe of map & XP.
