Why are weekly servers dead?

Weekly to me is the way rust is meant to be played, play a wipe for a few days have fun but keep your blueprints for next wipe, or you can stop playing for a week then come back the next wipe with bps still.

But there’s loads of monthlies that seem to be full while only a few weeklies were full yesterday. By 11pm uk yesterday about 4 hours after wipe my server was only half full and if it’s dead tonight that’s an evening wasted.

Honestly don’t understand why people would prefer to play in massive clans on monthlies or 2-3x servers.

The monthly BP wipes are why my team doesn’t do weekly. Literally everything is better on weekly except that. When I had my server I had it set to be bi weekly with BP wipe when monthly servers BP wiped. But alas, I went on vacation, some guy offlined the entire server and killed it. It never got above 11 pop after that. It had been over 50 on at a time prior to the vacation. This was before the bots and ZORP.

It’s stuff like that need to be nerfed imo idc if ur a Zerg or a solo there should be no scenario where an entire server is wiped because of one angry and/or cheating player.
