 of the Facepunch team I was a super boring Insurance agent. Learned how to do the server stuff through trial and error (and Alistair’s help) over the years and got to a point where it all becomes second nature. When I started this server “project” I never, in a million years, envisioned we’d have a 10k+ player community out of it. It’s both a blessing and a curse given the nature of the game and how toxic some of the community can be. Just have to keep your eye on the prize (whatever that may be) and not let the trolls get to you.

What makes Rusty Moose different from other (official) servers out there?

In the grand scheme of things it’s just another server to log into. I’d like to think what sets us apart is our constant strive to keep the community in check. We don’t allow racism or overly toxic players to just spam whatever they want in chat. I do have a genuine interest in making it as least toxic as possible. I have a great admin team all well-versed in Rust. I think combined we all have around 50k hours played. Sure we all troll once in a while, you have to have fun to stay sane. 🙂 We also do a purge-like “Boom Boom Party” once a month (night before a Blueprint wipe) where we give out kits for everyone to blow each-other up then we do a fireworks show at the end of the night. I stream it all as well so even if people can’t log in they can still be there.

How did you become an official rust server?

They came to me and offered it. It was before I was part of the FP team so there was no correlation there. I just ran my servers the best way I saw fit. They recognized that. Knew I was in it for my passion of the game and not some personal agenda. Knew admin abuse wouldn’t be a problem. I remember getting the message from Helk I was like a little giddy school girl. I didn’t actually believe it was him I thought someone was trolling me. I remember telling him to “identify yourself!” lol..man I was such a noob.
