Rust servers live and die on wipe day. Players open the browser, sort by players, and pick something that already looks populated — which means the servers that fill first keep filling, and the ones that start empty usually stay that way for the cycle.

A player package keeps a set number visible for 30 or 365 days. The 30-day option lines up with a monthly wipe; starting it a day or two before wipe means the listing is already busy when people go looking.

Rust is identified by address rather than a listing code: an IP or a domain, with the port only if it is non-default. If your host hands out a new address after a wipe, open a ticket with the order number and we move the order rather than restarting it.
