EU Rust servers, live

Right now the table below shows 3,413 servers that sit in Europe or carry a European tag. It updates every five minutes. European here includes Russian and Turkish servers, which Rust counts as their own region, so filter by name if you want a narrower field. Rows are ordered by who is playing at this moment.

Two figures decide whether a server suits you. Population is the count of players connected at the last update; the Rank column averages the past seven days instead, hour by hour, so a steady evening crowd shows up there even on a quiet afternoon. Wipe rules differ more in Europe than anywhere else: weekly, fortnightly and monthly schedules are all common, and force wipe appears as FW in the Next wipe column. Group size is printed only below eight; a blank means eight or more. If a name you expect is missing, the server is probably offline, since only live servers are listed. For rate multipliers, map choice and player limits, use the full browser.

Start with the time. Every count on this page carries the minute it was read, and the whole table refreshes every five minutes, so reload before you commit an evening to a server.

Next read the wipe columns together. The Next wipe figure is an estimate from the published schedule; the force wipe is fixed and hits every server at once. A server that wipes in a few hours and is already quiet is not the same bet as one that wiped yesterday and is filling.

Rank is the column for judging a server over a week rather than a moment. It rewards servers that hold a population across the day, which usually means a stable community and fewer empty mornings. Population is what you get when you join.

Language tags are worth typing into the search box. EU, UK, DE, FR and ENG all appear in names, and Russian and Turkish servers often mark themselves the same way. Just-wiped servers suits you if you want a fresh map tonight; the beginner list suits a first wipe.
