North America Rust servers

This table lists North American Rust servers, sorted by live population. Each row shows the current player count against the maximum, the last wipe date, the next wipe, the gather rate, the group limit and the region. The data comes from server queries and refreshes every five minutes. Use the filters to narrow by wipe cycle, rate, group size or name. Link to a server's page for its own population history and settings.

Two figures decide most of what you see here: wipe cycle and mean population. Wipe cycle is the gap between map resets, stated by the server in its description or query response. Mean population is the average live player count over the last seven days, updated each time the table loads. A server with a high peak but a low mean empties fast after wipe. A server with a modest peak but a flat mean holds its players. Sort by mean to find the second kind.

North America covers a wide span of longitudes. An east coast player on a west coast server adds 60 to 80 ms round trip before any in-game latency. The region column shows the self-declared location. Where a server has no region set, the name is the only signal. Ping is not shown because it depends on your own connection.

Rank counts every hour of the last seven days, so it reflects sustained load rather than a single busy evening. Use it with the live column: a server can sit high on rank and show a low live count if it is between wipe and the next cycle.

The group limit column shows the maximum team size the server enforces. Blank means the server does not state one, which usually means the default of 8 or more. For solo, duo or trio play, filter by the column rather than trusting the name.

The gather rate column shows the multiplier the server applies to resource collection. A dash means 1x, the unmodified rate. Rates above 1x shorten the build-up; the table does not judge which is better.

Wipe schedules vary. Monthly is the most common cycle in this region, but weekly and fortnightly servers exist. The next wipe column gives the date if the server publishes one; a dash means no schedule was returned. For the force wipe date, see Rust force wipe timer.
