Since leaving Beta three years ago,\u00a0Rust<\/em><\/strong> has become steadily more popular. Beginning at the start of this year, Rust<\/em> began making a huge amount of money on Steam<\/a> and heading for a console release.<\/p>\n

With the rapid increase in its playerbase,\u00a0Rust<\/a><\/em> has begun innovating more with its gameplay and implementing new elements. It has, at this point, proved itself a survivor in the survival genre. However, it is not immune to accidents and out-of-game problems, just like other always-online games. One of these problems has reared its head in the form of a fire that destroyed a server building containing\u00a0Rust<\/em> data servers.<\/p>\n

The server fire was discovered early in the morning and, according to\u00a0Rust<\/em>‘s official Twitter, “destroyed SBG-2 building.” The destruction took 25 of the game’s EU servers offline, making playing the game significantly more difficult for any who regularly used those servers. On top of that, any progress that players had made on those servers has been wiped out and irrevocably lost. Of course, Rust<\/em> already implements forced wipes of its servers<\/a> once per month, but this is a far more permanent and damaging situation, as the servers as well as the data are lost.<\/p>\n
