Frequently asked questions

Still stuck? Ask in Discord, staff replies fast.

How do I link my Discord account?

Log in on the Account page with Steam and Discord and press Link accounts. You can still link in-game with /dc as well. Both give you the Linked role and the linked rewards.

Is Royal Rust pay-to-win?

No. VIP perks are quality-of-life and convenience. On PVP, VIP is cosmetic and convenience only, with no gather, loot or combat advantage.

How fast do I get VIP after buying?

Within seconds. The store syncs with the server automatically. Rejoin if your rank does not show right away.

Are VIP purchases refundable?

No. All purchases are final. Perks can change for balancing, but your rank stays across wipes.

When does the server wipe?

PVE wipes monthly and ends every wipe with the Purge. Wipe announcements are posted in Discord.

Can I lose my items?

Yes. Inventories and bases reset on wipe, and updates or bug fixes can reset progress. Check the wipe guide for what carries over.

Why was I banned?

Bans are issued for rule violations. If you think it was a mistake, open a support ticket in Discord and staff will review it.

Who runs Royal Rust?

An independent community team. Royal Rust is not an official Rust server and is not affiliated with Facepunch Studios.
