Hi guys, as we previously stated we are closing down the server (at least for the time being). We planned on keeping it up through one last wipe, which should've started today, but are having trouble updating and getting the server up. We are taking a break from Rust, and to be honest it's just too much work for us to have to send in a ticket to our host, wait a few days for them to answer, and figure out what exactly is causing these issues to fix a server that we no longer play. We're sorry for disappointing anyone looking to play this wipe.

We also just want to say thanks again to everyone who has supported our server and stuck with us throughout the wipes. We greatly appreciate all of our players. The only reason we're shutting the server down is purely because of Facepunch's decisions and lack of effort toward fixing the problem with servers dying in a matter of days. We may relaunch the server sometime in the future if these problems are ever addressed, so if any of you are interested in coming back someday you can stay in touch through the Steam group.

For more information about why the server is closing visit this thread: http://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/groups/MantisDen/discussions/0/1326718197214214021/

The server is now wiped and up and running with the new update!

A lot has changed with the core game, so be sure to read up on the devblog: http://playrust.com/devblog-158/. As for server changes, we have removed the 'no extreme griefing rule' and the 24 hour grace period. With the new Rust changes this week hardcore griefing is no longer as big of an issue.

Also, the server will now wipe biweekly for this month, so we removed the 24 hour grace period to match up with that. To balance the earlier wipe this month, we are adding a 2x gather-rate plugin. This means for every tree or node you mine, you will get double the wood, sulfur ore, metal ore, high quality metal ore, and stone than you would in vanilla. This is to balance things so that you can still build the big bases you usually build during the shorter wipe cycle.

These changes have been made due to the votes of our community, so if you guys don't like them after trying them this month, let us know and we will host another vote.

(sorry for posting this twice, I don't think the first announcement worked)

Happy wipeday everyone! The server has been wiped and is ready to play. Since this was a big update, some of our plugins are currently not working and we need to wait for an update on them, sorry for the inconvenience. We may have to restart the server to update plugins when they come out. Keep in mind that the new rules will be applied today, so extreme griefing is now forbidden. Also, since you guys voted for a 24 hours grace period, raiding will be against the rules until 4/14 at 4:00 PM EST. Have fun!

Hi everyone, unfortunately Facepunch has given us some bad news today regarding the wipe and update. They're not going to be updating this week, so there is no forced wipe today. Facepunch is still wiping official servers today, but there will also be a wipe next week when they actually push the update out. We're going to just go ahead and wipe today as well because there's no reason not to, as everyone is expecting it. This means that this wipe will only last A WEEK. Here is their official post about it if you need more info: http://playrust.com/delayed-patch/. We will be advertising the server as a temporary weekly wipe server, but after this it will go right back to being force wipes only. We are very sorry for any inconveniences this causes, but there is nothing server owners can do about this.

That being said, the server is now wiped and ready to go. Enjoy!

Hey guys, just giving everyone in the group a heads up, we've transferred our server location over to Dallas to hopefully fix the lag issues that our server has been having this past week. As a result, our IP and port have changed, and so you may not be able to join our server through your history/favorites any longer without rejoining it.

We show up in the "Modded Server" list.
IP: 172.106.174.6 Port: 28316

Everything should be just as you left it before we transferred servers. There was no wipe. This should hopefully make things more stable and fix any lag going forward.

Thanks for your continued understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
