Update, that's probably why.

It is up but like so many it has been wiped

[Lithium]

Indeed, it was.

[Tbone]

FFS I'd rather get raided then have to deal with another wipe. Maybe we should wait until the game is a bit more stable? Are there any servers that don't wipe? I thought decay was supposed to make wipes unnecessary.

[Erathaol]

Wipes are going to happen very often for quite some time.  I think while it's still in alpha it might be a better idea to play more casually and short-term.

The resource race on a fresh server is pretty fun, with everyone trying to murder each other for the almighty explosives recipe and secure their territory, but once you've done in more than a few times it can get a tad stale.
Building a big base/compound/whatever and becoming a permanent landmark that people on the server recognize and play around ("Be careful going near Metal Valley; that's FA territory and they don't take kindly to intruders.") is probably something that's a bit unreasonable to expect with these frequent wipes.

The short of it is that we should probably play assuming nothing we do will last more than two weeks max, whether that means taking a break until later or trying other ways to have fun.
Maybe Manic was right and the true path is dicking around making silly videos?  Wipes certainly don't affect him!

[likwidtek]

Booo!  Makes me want to just rent a private server to fuck around on until wipes become less and less frequent.

FA survior-thon. We all build our own little shacks and try to hunt Broin over and over.

And Broin gets nothing but a bow and arrows.

[Phienyx]

What is the avg time most of FA plays this?

[Broin]

I'm down for that

Last night I just found the lowest ping zero pop server I could and set up a little home.  Figure it'll be fun practice for a little bit.  Single player Rust is weird.

Started on a new server...again. This server has updated several times with no wipes and advertise no wipes. Rebuild the base. Just have barracks and pillars left to do. It's a 3x3, so a little smaller. Still need wood to finish it up, but I'll be gone all day and night tomorrow, so I won't be on until midnight or so. We have Bolt Action, C4, Explosives, M4, Kevlar Boots and Helmet. Come check it out. Connection info is in the regular Rust thread. Me, Broin, Lith, Zero, Phienyx, and I think likwid have all migrated over.

[Broin]

I like the new server... Especially with the locked backpacks.  If you die by wolf or bear you have a good chance of getting your gear back.  Otherwise carry a lockpick or two if you go hunting people

Tonight we finally got to be on the other side of the coin. Our goal was to get Kevlar Vest and Pants by finding or raiding someone who had them. I actually picked up the pants blueprint, but then we got shot at by a guy building a base in Resource  Hole. We leaped his wall, blew his door, and killed him, earning the coveted Kevlar Vest. Now fully armored, we ventured forth looking for bases to raid. We managed to raid a small base that had a nice stash on it, then we found a huge base with a lot of defenses.

My base-building skills came in handy, and I found away around all of the defenses. This was definitely a raiders' base, housing at least 3 guys in full kevlar (asleep at the time). We ended up getting a LOT of guns and bullets, along with a lot of other good stuff. We made several trips, but at the end someone found us raiding and began sniping at us through a hole in the wall. We escaped with our phat loot, though!

Several other bases were raided earlier in the day and the blame is being pegged on four guys traveling in a pack in kevlar (us). Though we didn't hit the other bases, the server began to actively look for us. At the end of the night, after everyone else logged out, right before I was about to myself, in general chat AdventWeed asked "tbone was that you and four others running around the road in kevlar earlier?" I didn't respond and logged out.

But how did he know I was logged in in the first place? Does the /players command work again? Was he taking a stab in the dark or was I made somehow? Be careful out there!

[Lithium]

AdventWeed seems like the server gossip queen. I wouldn't be surprised if it was him and that other guy/gal who were asking T2 where we were. They probably went for a look and ran into us finishing up.

Exciting none the less.
