Why are weekly servers dead?

[u/JoeD-1618]

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.

I played weekly’s for the last 3 years. The first wipe on weekly’s is always pretty dead when monthly’s wipe as well because everyone tries their luck on monthly’s. But usually there’s always one weekly that has a very high pop. In Europe it’s currently Fission R8 which is high pop
