[B]Fresh Wipe as of 2-25-2014[/B][/QUOTE]
[B][I]WE HAVE CHANGED SERVER NAMES TO [US] CAMNB - PVP/0 Grief/0 Abuse/Dedicated Admin!!!!!![/I][/B]
We use a Central based server, as to help people better play with all their internet friends who are on either side of the country. We had recently changed hosts (2-17-2014) as our last host was having lag issues when we were hitting our peak of 60-70 people. The new server is a dedicated server, and runs extremely smoothly compared to the last. I am still getting adjusted to setting the server up, as everything now is run completely by FTP, and there is no control panel. This allows me to have full access, and always make sure the server is up to date. No more waiting for the GSP to update mods when they come out. I can update them as soon as they come out, getting them to you hours before anyone else. :)
We have been up and going since the beginning of January, and have just recently done a Wipe on the server (2-25-2014) now that we have fully figured out where we want the server to be. We had 1 admin to the server, who was an outsider to the 4 of us who are close friends, and come to find out, he was highly abusing his Admin powers, and drove many people off our server. We went from a steady 70-80 people, to now 10-15. He has since been banned from the server, and it is now run strictly by us 4. Admin powers are heavily monitored by myself, watching for any admin abuse which is taken care of immediately, and Admin only have access to /kick, /ban, and /mute.
Hackers
Cheaters are dealt with ASAP. We hate them just as much as you, and as soon as we can verify someone is cheating, they are banned. If you spot a cheater, please don't yell it out in chat. We prefer you to whisper it to an Admin. IF you yell it out in chat, it just alerts the Cheater, and they will be aware that they are on our radar.
Large Clans and Griefers
1 Large part we noticed that frustrates people more than anything else is large clans. They basically own all the supply drops, and pick on the little guys, driving all the new people off the server. We are now dealing directly against the larger clans. Large clans are more than welcome to join the server, but we have 1 rule, and 1 rule only against them. NO PICKING ON THE NEW COMERS/LITTLE GUYS! Large clans are to only go against other large clans. There's nothing more frustrating in Rust than joining a server, and getting steam rolled by a team of 6 guys in full kevlar/weaponry. We will be taking this very seriously now.
C4 & Explosives
Another issue we notice on servers, is the C4. It basically makes or breaks servers. We have made it so that Explosives (the gel) is not able to be researched or created, but the C4 (Explosive Charge) is able to be created. Through a plugin, we have stopped the creation of the Gel, but Gel now drops from Red Animals/Crates, and C4 & Gel drop from Supply crates. We hope this prevents people from having 100+ C4 in the 1st week, and basically owning the server. Everyone so far on the server loves this set up, and we have had no complaints at all.
Admin Staff
Our Admin staff have been friends personal friends for over a decade, and have run multiple servers in multiple games in that time. We are very experienced, and work well together with each of us knowing our part, and making sure everything is in order. Our Admin are active in the community, both with helping new comers, those who mess up their base and need a random pillar/ceiling removed, and also in the game playing aspect. Aside from myself, the other admin are unknown to the public, so they can constantly watch for Hackers/Griefing, and stop it quickly in it's tracks.
**Plugins**
We are currently using Essentials Mod on our server. Our main admin is working side by side with the creator of Essentials, MistaD, in order to keep an always current, and ahead of everyone else version of Essentials running.
TL:DR
Our Admin, and regular player base are filled to the gills with extreme levels of Bad-Assery. Feel free to ask anyone on the server. Come play with us now, and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed!!!
We had about 1/2 a dozen new people join the server last night after this was posted. Glad to see that people are interested in the way we are running things. :-) If you decide to join our server, please feel free to ask me questions in game if you see me on. "Mack7n"
We have gained 30 more people just today. Numbers are getting better, and the community is happy so far. :-) Hopefully by the end of the week, we'll be back up around 80people again.
We have just migrated from Oxide to Rust Essentials. Too many bugs with Oxide at the moment, and their community leader doesn't seem to be on top of fixing the issues. :-(
37 Players at the moment, weeded out a few cheaters earlier. Let's keep the numbers rolling. Great community so far.
Went back to Oxide, and getting direct help from their moderator. Hopefully we can figure out the issues quickly on Oxide, and get things smooth again, so we have the Arena plugin. People have been hounding me non stop to get arenas going again. :-(
It's 1:30am EST, and we've got mid 30's to 40 population at the moment. Loving it! Keep the numbers up guys, seems like everyones enjoying the server so far.
Tons of bugs with this new patch, and I'm trying my best to keep things smooth as possible. Garry isn't making it easy this patch.
JMackin has put a ton of time into the server and making sure it is enjoyable for every player, newbie or veteran. We are very active admins and care a whole lot about the players in our server. Please, drop by, give it a try and i guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
Server has been down and wonky all evening. Whats the deal?
[QUOTE=Robotronik;43852074]Server has been down and wonky all evening. Whats the deal?[/QUOTE]
Sorry about the late reply. We had the server down for a couple hours that day, due to our Service Provider was having issues. They were messing up some of the updates of mods, which were causing horrible issues on the server. Everything is back up and stronger than ever now.
Updated some information, as we just changed service providers, and am running on a dedicated machine now. Game is 100x's smoother, and now I have full FTP access to make sure that the game/mods are always up to date the second they come out, instead of awaiting upon the GSP to update the Mod on their site.
Running the New Essentials now, everything is going great, and players haven't been happier. Still working out a few hiccups here and there, but for the most part, things are great!
We had just swapped back to RPP from Essentials for now. There were some stability issues with Essentials on the server, and we'd rather have stability to play, vs mods and crashing.
Come to find out, the issue wasn't with Essentials, it was with RUST itself. We are moved back to Essentials now, and the server is even smoother than before. 32 straight hours of debugging and log watching, and came to realize the server update from Steam was the culprit. We ended up zipping up a complete server from a friend, and installing it on our server and now its flawless. No errors with Essentials, no lag or anything. With I had thought of that ahead of time. :-/ server has been up for 12 hours now without a hiccup, and all the players are extremely happy. Now let's hope my dedication to being an admin pays off and we can get more players back in the server.
Server running amazing, getting things prepared for the patch. Let's hope this patch goes smoother than the last few
Just did a fresh wipe on the server per request of the players. So if you're looking for a fresh server, with a great admin team, and community, come give us a try!
30 new people already and growing. It's funny watching the new clans come in and stake their territory.
We had peaked out to almost 50 people today. Nice seeing a bunch of new faces, and haven't had any records of hackers yet. Best wave of players so far. 7 hours into the wipe, and going strong.
Well, we've got an amazingly strong Evening crew, but not so much in the mornings. Let's hope we can get more people on for the day crew. :-) Keeping a steady 40+ players at all time would be amazing once again.
Little slow this morning, but back up again in the mid 20's for server pop. Mid morning (EST) had hit nearly 30 people for about an hour. Server had a few hiccups, but things are smooth once again.
Sunday morning, roughly 15 people on, and just got word of possibly another 6 incoming. Going to be a great day. Testing a new version of Essentials at the moment, and it's running great. A couple odd little bugs, but we're working them out.
New patch is out and updated on server, new Essentials is installed and running flawlessly, and everyone is happy. Great night so far.
10 people on this morning. Slow Monday morning, but tonight should pick up as usual. Mods are running smooth, and we're getting ready for the big patch, whenever Garry lets us have it. :-)
We are all updated for the patch, and ready to run. ;-)
Fresh wipe today guys. All running smooth for the new patch!
Gary outdid himself on this patch. Things look amazing, no more odd lag spurts and spikes, and everything looks crazy good. Keep up the good work Garry. Nearly 30 people on the server at the moment, and everythings as smooth as the new water.

40 people strong, and it's not even 2pm EST. I've been sitting in the mods forums awaiting for either Rust++ or Magma to be released, so we can get the mods back up and running.
We are going to be swapping to a new box within our GSP soon. I will be updating the new IP address. Anything that is built/farmed will be saved, and no progress will be lost.

Still sitting at 40 players, hopefully new server will be up. Their time frame they gave me has roughly 1/2 hour left on it.
Almost 50 people right now, and going strong. Been on cheater duty all day, and so far everyone is happy, and things couldn't be better. Hopefully mods will be up soon.
Essentials is back up and running, all sever lag is gone, and things are running amazingly. :-) Thanks MistaD for the quick update. WOOOO
