Rust servers for new players

These servers include a new-player word in their name: noob, beginner, newbie, new player, newcomer, learning or starter. That name is a label, not a checked promise. Before you join, read the server's own rules: group limit, wipe cycle and any spawn protection matter more than the name.

The table updates every five minutes; the count above changes as servers start and stop. A server listed here can wipe weekly, biweekly or monthly, and the Last wipe and Next wipe columns show what we last recorded. The Group column shows the maximum group size the server advertises: solo, duo, trio or quad caps are common on this list, but many entries leave it unset. Gather rates are rarely stated in the name; when a rate is given it is usually 2x. Region is not filtered by the search box, so type EU, US or AU if ping matters to you. If a server shows no wipe date, its schedule is not published in the data we collect.

Sort order is by live player count, busiest first. Use the search box to narrow the list by a word in the server name: solo, duo, EU, vanilla or a specific server name. The Region and Group columns are not filterable here, so search for those words instead. A server with a recent last wipe has a fresh map and a full population; one due to wipe within the hour will empty as players leave. If you want to avoid player combat entirely, see PvE servers. For the lowest group limits, see solo servers or duo servers. To compare every server without a name filter, use the full server list.
