Official Rust servers

A note on the columns. Group shows a number only when a server sets a limit below Rust's default of eight; a blank cell means the default applies. Next wipe is an estimate from each server's recent pattern, not a promise. Official servers mostly wipe monthly, on the first Thursday at 19:00 UK time for Facepunch's force wipe; partner servers often pick their own weekday. Population clusters in Europe, so queues are longest on EU servers in the European evening. Sort by players to see the busiest first, or by wipe to plan a fresh start. See also the wipe schedule and just-wiped servers.

Official is not a single thing. Facepunch runs some of these servers directly; others belong to partner networks that keep close to vanilla settings but set their own team limits and wipe rhythms. The table records what each entry declares, not what it promises. If you want untouched settings, filter for the vanilla tag; if you want a smaller team cap, the Group column is where to look. For side-by-side rankings by play style, see the best-server index, PvE, vanilla and new-player pages. Every server has its own entry; open one from the table for its full record.
