THE LURE OF FORTUNE

Written by Ven & Wild on July 26, 2019.

WESTERN EVENT WEEK The forgotten isles in the realm of Rust Empires were abandoned for many years. Nuclear fallout from ancient clans had transformed the isles into an uninhabitable wasteland, and tales of the prosperity among those previous dwellers fell into whispers and crumbling texts. Yet, a few intrepid explorers set a course for the isles after unearthing a series of scatter maps and tributes to the land. Upon arrival, the explorers deemed the lands a worthwhile venture once more. Returning with riches to the main islanders of Rust Empires, a fever was sparked among the people. Rumor has it that the isles of Rust Empires are bountiful in rich veins of metal. The lure of fortune and fame has brought miners, builders, and more to the isles. Grab a horse and explore the mainland for riches and conquest. Build a city and encourage your people to aid your clan in wealth and prosperity. Create a clan to further your pursuits in the metal frags rush.

Return to the Wasteland…

The goal of this week is to accrue the most Crude Oil. While players can roam the road and landmarks for oil, we have set up a few pumpjacks for you to capture and try to farm as much crude oil as possible. Once you earn some oil, head to Questy and buy some awesome items in preparation for the final assault (purge day). TEAMS Each team is given a free car once they claim land. Once you have claimed land, ask for an admin in-game to get you a car. RULES KOS is only in marked red zones.Gather as much Crude Oil as possible.Inside NML are compounds with Pumpjacks to have a consistent way to get Crude Oil.No stealing car keys from other teams, 1 car per team.Our normal rules still apply.. REWARDS Once you have farmed some crude oil, take a ride to South Frontier and head to the Quest Vendor. Players can cash in crude oil for bleach. Bleach can be used to purchase many weapons as well as vehicles. That includes the Chinook.

Responses to March poll..

Written by Ven & Wild on March 13, 2019.

Hey guys – this month we received a bunch of feedback. We’re glad to say majority of it was positive, but in this post we want to talk about some of the suggestions and concerns players have. Also, as always, if you have issues that admins aren’t addressing, please reach out to the owners. Admins can be very busy and may miss things happening. Something we’ve seen since the beginning of our server is players thinking we are okay with something bad happening when in reality we are busy and unaware. If something is bugging you, someone breaking rules, etc….just reach out to us.

Special Event 15: The Dominion

Written by Ven & Wild on March 1, 2019.

Questy’s Log November 15th: Island life isn’t the easiest. Set up my shop some months ago, and people listened to me at first. Told them about the Dominion. Told them about the attack and how my people lost. Should have known something was wrong the day the Dominion found my home. No wind that morning. The birds were silent. Didn’t catch any fish that day. Like all the living beings knew to hide. Well, guess not my people. Welcomed the Dominion’s boats with fruit and water when they came upon our island. Welcomed us back with bullets. Fishermen and farmers against armored gunmen, didn’t last long. A few like me lived, we knew the caves well enough and rigged some traps. Slowed them down so we got a bit of distance but not enough. Led them to where the bandits lived. Those bandits would fight anyone on their lands. Knew that the bandits’ eokas would get us some more time. Not proud of what we did, but we had to get out. Stole the bandits’ boats and made our way...

Responding to Prep for Age 14 Survey

Written by Ven & Wild on January 4, 2019.

Cheers and thanks to everyone for taking the time to complete our monthly survey and provide insight/questions. Make sure to check out the channel in our Discord, #prep-for-age-14-survey-results, to see how our community voted. The server owners (Wild and Ven) read all of your questions and thoughts and wanted to take the time to address some of them. Do you have any suggestions relating to our land claim rules: Pending land claims should be raidable until shown on map, it should be the players fault to lose items in bases pending land claims in discord. or atleast bases incorrectly marked without HQ or CS on sign. players shouldnt have to dig through discord channels and posts to make sure something is claimed or not. This would only favor seasoned community members here and discourage new clans from joining the server. What sets us apart from the rest of Rust is that we are here to develop a community, a haven from the toxicity that permeates the majority of other...
