Introducing Conquest Claims. These are specially marked locations on the map that are KOS, but they have special raiding rules. Players who control these claims earn a currency they can use to buy items/resources. Land Claiming a Conquest Claim Standard land claiming rules apply. You can only claim one per 48 hours (on a separate timer from claims outside of Conquest).Conquest Claims do not need to be touching a clan’s other claims. Players can claim Conquest Claims and these don’t count towards your normal claim count. For CS claims, TC must be accessible via door or hatch. Conquest Claim Rewards Each Conquest Claim generates 1 glue every 24 hours in the TC room of the controlling structure. An NPC will spawn in your base that can be killed and he drops the glue.Glue can be used to purchase resources or bleach (player feedback is welcome on the value of the currency). The vendor is located in the black-market area of the NPC Compound.The TC room of each CS will also...

Welcome to the Rust Empires CONQUEST event! This will be a one-week event where clans war to control the island. The island is split into two, clans can choose to live down south in the safe area or up north in the Warzone (or both!). THE SAFEZONE Down South, standard server rules apply. Clans in the South can still go to war, but follow the normal procedure. THE WARZONE Clans in the Warzone pick their first claim as their HQ. Clans can claim up to 5 hex claims in the Warzone per day. Claims must be connected. If a claim gets separated from the HQ via attacks, it must be reconnected before a clan can expand from that claim. Clans can have land in the Warzone and down South, they don’t need to be connected (as if they are two separate maps). Clans can gain an additional 2 claims per day via conquest (this number will increase throughout the week to speed up the war). Every few days, clans will be rewarded bleach based on who is currently in the lead. There...

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to fill out the monthly survey. We wanted to address some of the feedback we received in the survey. As always, if you have suggestions, let us know in discord and we can put them on the next survey.

We appreciate the dedication of our community and the donors who support Rust Empires keeping this server existing for your adventures and stories. All of the donated money goes directly to the NFO server payments, performance upgrades, and to paid plugins for the community. We work to make sure that our server isn’t pay-to-play so you won’t see special backpacks, faster smelting, air drops, etc. that is typically seen in donator packages on other servers. Keeping this in mind, we are adding new perks that will be available for various tiers and updated on our Patreon page. Donator: $1 level Retains a lovely light pink colored name on Discord.Has access to the VIP lounge for all donators to engage with each other. Funder: $5 level Retains a sunny bright yellow colored name in Discord.Same perms as previous tier.Has access to SIL perms (reach out to server owners with your Patreon email so that we can set your in-game perms up) Sponsor: $10 level Retains a festive...

What is THE PURGE? Since all items and progress are removed when the server wipes, Rust Empires hosts the purge once per wipe where players are encouraged to use up all of the items they have acquired throughout the month. Instead of letting everything go to waste, all KOS and raiding rules are lifted and players can roam around the map using up all of the ammo, explosives, and medical supplies. See that really nice base? It might be fun to use up your C4 and watch it collapse. Someone get on your nerves all month? Grab your gear and go show them how you really feel. Everything will be gone the next day, so have fun and don’t take anything too personally.  Didn’t have time to farm any gear or weapons? That’s okay. We provide a /kit purge that includes some starter weapons, armor, and medical supplies. It doesn’t include anything too good since we want to reward people who played all wipe, but it gives new folks a decent chance. Preparing for purge Turrets and...

Thanks to everyone who took the survey this month. As always, we got a ton of good feedback from you guys which helps us decide how to move forward. We posted the results from the survey but we also like to respond to some of the written feedback from the community. What is your least favorite part of Rust Empires? An abundance of toxic regulars making the chat hostile Make sure to report toxic people. Video recordings of voice conversations and screenshots of text conversations work best. Don’t forget we have an anonymous report form in discord. Apparently inconsistent or lacking of “punishment severity in line with the crime“ Players don’t have access to the staff log of all player issues, everything is logged and we have a document that details each situation. So sometimes you will see 2 people commit the same crime with different punishments. Player 1 could be on strike 4, player 2 could be getting their first strike. Of course, as a...

Hey guys – since it’s a 5 week month, we have an extra week. Instead of doing 2 one-week events, we’ve decided to have a 2 week bonus age that will have a few events within it. To get everyone involved, we’re going to have a mix of PVP and PVE based events. Creative Contest Round 4 Something we’ve done a few times in the past, we will be hosting a series of creative contests. This will include skin creating, RP building, arena building, and more. We will be setting up a few channels that will detail each contest objective. The Warzone returns! Longtime players will remember the warzone, it has returned and is once again claimable. The Warzone are claimable pvp zones. Unlike our normal claims, there is no limit to how many of these groups can capture. At the end of the wipe, we will issue prizes based on how many Warzone claims each group is holding Warzone rules. Warzone claim does not need to be touching your normal claims (but warzone claims do...
