PREMIUM SERVERS

Today at 19:00 UTC, we're issuing a mandatory update - We are rolling out Premium Servers, an experimental way to filter out cheat users and create a better experience for legit players.

To access Premium Servers, your Rust Steam inventory must be valued at $15 or more. This includes items from the Permanent Item Store, such as building skins, décor packs, and hazmat skins, as well as any other tradable Rust items with an attached value. Currently we do not include Rust's standalone DLC such as Instruments, Sunburn and Voice Props packs (this may change in future).

We initially communicated a $20 threshold, but after analysing data from millions of accounts, we've settled on $15 as a more effective starting point. This is based on a comparison of banned accounts versus regular players, aiming to strike a balance between accessibility and cheat deterrence, although opting on the lower end.

• Premium Servers will only be visible if your account meets the $15 threshold.

• Premium Servers will show a Premium (and clickable) Tag to provide details about eligibility.

• This won’t stop every cheat user, but it’s an extra layer of friction against disposable cheat accounts.

• Server owners can opt-in by enabling the following convar: "server.premium 1"

• The $15 threshold may change over time, and we may introduce additional factors to refine premium status.

• Depending on Steam traffic, brand new purchases may take up to 20 minutes to reflect onto the Premium Server authorization.

• You can manually refresh or check your premium status by going to the server listings, clicking the premium server tag and clicking the refresh icon.

• If you have premium status, it'll display on your avatar on the menu menu

If we encounter any abuse or exploitation of Premium servers or the market, user accounts will be banned. All trades of Rust skins are logged.
