Best vanilla Rust servers

A server that publishes the vanilla tag, is not listed as modded, and runs the default 1x gather with no gameplay plugins. Official and community servers both qualify. A server that changes its rates belongs in the Modded tab under Facepunch's own rules, so it is not counted here.

Every five minutes, from the same live data used across Rust Server Stats. Population, wipe dates and ranks all move with that refresh. The count in the introduction is a snapshot at the most recent refresh, not a fixed total.

Schedule is what the server publishes; Last wipe and Next wipe are what the record shows it has done. Sort by Next wipe to see who is due soon, then check Last wipe for how fresh the map is. Every server wipes at the force wipe regardless of its stated schedule.

Yes, though most keep the default team limit of 8. A minority enforce solo, duo or trio, and the Group column records the limit. Use it alongside Region: a European server is busy in the European evening, not yours.
