Rust Server

It won't be good, the core mechanics of the game won't work well with the RP thing to work fully. I don't see it working as a full RP server
Ahh and ARMA has the core mechanics for a roleplay server.. right.

Ive seen every time we've had a rust server players joining because the name ROLEPLAY, thinking they'll come and get just that. They soon realise that not many if any people actually roleplay.

With a proper rule set, forum section, staffing and the right mindset it's worth ATLEAST a try. 

 
Granted a good amount of effort and work being put into this would be good, but shouldn't other issues be sorted first or a new team created for this. I love rust and many do as well, i just think that a lot of players on the server wouldn't like a strict rp server. 

 
I'm all honesty rust is what it is, just rust. I'd much prefer that the management team just put up a rust server for those to enjoy in the community and keep people attracted to the community. If you attempt to turn it into a roleplay rust server it has conflicts in interest these being needing more staff members to moderate such an intensive game. Rust it's self has a player base of kos therefore inforcing roleplay causes issues as most people will join as it's just rust. We will see a devide in terms of the amount of interest that goes into roleplay.co.uk's main servers the Arma servers, leading to less development, bug fixes and overall attention. The issue of roleplay.co.uk is that it's a very specialised community, yes we see servers pop up like koth, blackwake and the past rust server however all we see is after a month or two the main player base drifts back to Arma 3 as that is what attracted them to the community, leading to the decrease of players on the rust server and the to the inevitable shutdown of the server. The manpower and requirements that would need to go into the rust server are substantial, these being staff watching the server, enforcing rules etc. Rust will most likely never turn into a self sustaining server in terms of donations etc as it doesn't have the player base and demand that Arma 3 does. Average amount of players on the Rust server being around 41/100 compared to the 135/140 on the Arma 3 server. It's not feesable so there is honestly no need to whine about the server not being Roleplay enforced, it requires too much management and rust doesn't have the administration mechanics that Arma 3 has. Just play the game as it is, if you meet friendly people that's great have fun but not everyone on rust is to roleplay.

 
Well if its not rp based, and everyone just kos, a lot of the current rp players will eave very quickly. 

If you want rust play rust, if you want rp rust stay here...

f rpuk is going to host a kos rust its a waste of money and resources, might  as well be rpuk server 3 for when 1 & 2 are full

 
AND for those who say rust and RP dont work, well just google Rust Roleplay Server, there are a lot, these are some rules:

Bases that have Traps (turrets, landmines, and bear traps) MUST be labeled with signs on the perimeter and will be a RED ZONE due to the KOS nature of not being able to interact before shooting

Greenzones are safe zones where in-game hostile actions cannot be committed. You may not initiate any hostile role-play in their areas. The Greenzones are:Spawn Points, Designated Trading Posts, Jail, Any building with an NPC

Roleplay:Failure to Role-play:Failure to role-play is the act of not participating properly in a situation that you are a part in. You are to treat every situation seriously. Powergaming/exploiting/OOC are all examples of failure to role-play.Value of Life/No Value of Life (NVL)You must value your life at all times.You may not murder someone unless you are in a life threatening situation with them OR they have not complied with your reasonable demands.

You Can raid anybody you want but you must have a REASON WITH RPDuring a Raid, you may shoot any player with a weapon visible OR calling out positions, while in the designated area.After been raided you cannot be raided again for 2 Hours, if you've been successfully Raided you cannot be raided by the same person/people for 1 Day/24 HoursOffline raiding is NOT ALLOWED

Basically very similar to what we have on Arma. No reason why this cant flourish.

with my 1.4k hours i can tell you now that RP rust servers will be alright for a bit but after wipe day you will loose all the players

when will the server wipe?

 
yeah, wipe days are when all bases get wiped and everyone starts fresh off again, they normally happen every week
I wouldnt mind that much tbh, because its more about the RP than the bases and gear for me, and quite a few RP players ive met there already.

 
I try to be friendly with people and talk but when they start shooting ill shoot back.
tbf i think we need a wipe anyway as the server has kept crashing through the last couple days causing alot of people to leave the server and bring some people back

 
Wipes just be monthly as far as i know, because it's needed everytime Facepunch releases a game changing server update.

As for the RP, it's encouraged, not required. I could be here all day explaining why it won't work for now, but in a nutshell this is a server (vanilla to be easier to mantain without downtimes) and a place for OUR community to be on the same server, we do not wish to make another RP server..at least for now.

But i can assume that there is a very BIG CHANCE of RP if you join our server because most of our players already have the RP profile to ensure of it.

ngl i thought the base would be better ;) ez raid offline
since the update there's not a base in rust that will be hard to raid offline, ladders fair enough but building with twig inside building blocked was a step to far I think

 
My email when the Rust server went down on the 15th:

That's a lot of spam...
