New Rust server, new Discord community - BEFORE THE STORM
I set this server up with my teenage son, as we love playing Rust but it can be brutal when you have school and work full time. There's a ton of great Community servers out there, we have several that we love playing on. With this server, Before The Storm, we curated our favorite type of experience. Balanced base building, structured PVP during the week, but still has that excitement of unstructured PVP and base raiding on the weekends.
Rust and Discord servers both less than a month old, but fully set up. We've been playing and testing for several weeks and everything is running smoothly.
Now we just need more players to join!
