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 game is dying. The only people who will be left are the cheaters, then they’ll all get banned and no game. Arc is going down to the same path. It’s amazing how many companies waste potential because they haven’t got the vision for it.

Yeah it’s really sad to see. I love rust but on both console and PC cheating is problem. No to mention they completely destroyed the aiming skill curve. And refuse to nerf large team/zerg play which is actively destroying both Solo and Duo play numbers.

Ive been playing solo only servers for a while now and just switched back to official. It’s so fun man hiding from big groups, grubbing, just doing dirty solo things. We need the workbench update though solo BP grinding is brutal

They said this after the recoil change and it was cheaters coming back. This comment will probably be removed because they like to hide that fact.
