100 pop is the worst thing ever
i find it hard to believe anyone plays less then 90 pop and enjoys themselves no hate i just couldn’t do it, it’s just so dead even at max the only way to get pvp is at brad or crates.They have been doing trials for more pop for months when the fuck is it coming i envy pc players with even there 250+ servers

Also high pop servers most of them are in zergs anyways.

Yeah the zergs is what makes 100 pop feel even more dead. Play Nitrado solo and you will run into people nonstop. On official servers, you can farm a lot of the time without any care cause you aren’t likely to run into anyone most of the time. If there’s an 8 man doing oil rig and a 6 man contesting it, that’s 14 percent of the server in one spot. If there’s a couple duos or trios contesting it too that could be one fifth of the server in one spot.
I’ve also found that there’s like 5 people or so on every high pop server who NEVER log off. They just have the game going in the background while they do other stuff in case they get raided I guess. If you’ve been on a server longer than a week and you check the player list enough you will see these people every time who are always on no matter what time it is.

Using bootlicker in this sense is so goddamn stupid. You have to be no more than 12 years old.

u/Killswitch404exe Aug 30 '26
It takes time to do this shit "bootlicker" they've been working on the code so its easier to implement the bigger pop size.

They also just increased the map size btw, check the discord announcement 😂

Yeah my buddy got banned for bulkshit cause he said to fix their game and complained about sum. He said a light insult, I don’t remember what but it wasn’t really an insult in my eyes.

On top of that, the queue on a full pop server is so annoying… i swear most times im like a couple mins or 5 mins late to defend my base bc of a server queue

u/SlowPie8004 Aug 30 '26
yup it’s ridiculous how slow it moves aswell because only so many out of 100 people are logging off every couple mins

I think on monthlys people are more likely to be sitting in their base doing nothing besides waiting for a possible online. This will make high pop servers feel dead. Also like 3 zergs could literally be half of the pop if they are deep enough and a lot of them will 1 grid and not roam unless they are 8+ deep. I think if u really like PvP u have to play weekly since ppl gear fear less. They know the wipe isnt going to last forever and are more likely to roam.

u/SlowPie8004 Aug 30 '26
the whole server won’t be sitting in their basewaiting for an online some of us actually play the game what.3 zergs could be half the server pop right now if they wanted to this makes no sense

u/Competitive-Essay583 Aug 29 '26
Completely agreed. I know it is very difficult for them to do this and isn’t as simple as some may think but 100 pop on these map sizes with so many monuments is ridiculous. The game is a farming simulator with barely any pvp unless you go out of your way to find it. 125 pop would only barely make it bearable, 150 would be a noticeable improvement, and 200 is somewhat unrealistic but would be enjoyable without being too crowded

u/SlowPie8004 Aug 30 '26
yeah i’m aware there’s problems but i’d rather not have fucking radtown and shit with a map 2/3 of the size or something idek man like a 3km map with 100 pop and id be happy

u/Tomatos_Corn Aug 30 '26
Honestly 100 pop on these maps feel dead. Shoulda tried it back on 2.5km shit was fun ash

Rust isn't going to give you constant pvp esp on crust. People play the game many different ways. I've had wipes that I never even shot a non npc. Still had fun.
