How it started

The Origin Story

Zombie Land was created out of frustration with vanilla Rust and with terribly run modded PvE servers. This is the founder's story, in his own words.

Chapter one

Pitch Black

I first started my Rust career as we all typically do. I logged in to this new game and instantly regretted it. I remember it being pitch black, the old style night time, and I heard sloshing as I walked. Within seconds I heard gunshots and found myself laying on the ground screaming (who remembers the old screams, lol).

I respawned and again found myself in darkness sloshing around as I walked. And within seconds I was shot and on the ground screaming. I immediately closed the game and uninstalled it.

Chapter two

A Second Chance

A long time passed before I gave Rust another try. This time my son had discovered PvE servers. We found one we liked and played there pretty regularly. We donated and became veteran players on that server.

Two things I still noticed were the lack of support and the toxicity of the players. Having my son playing alongside me, I was not too keen on the toxic chat and the actions of others towards him. And support was virtually non-existent, other than some admins logging in to take care of their friends.

Chapter three

The Last Straw

The final straw was a stacking bug that cost us all but one of the AKs we were crafting for the server's PvP day. We found an admin and explained the issue. We even reproduced the bug to prove it, and had a video clip showing that we did indeed lose the guns to a misconfigured stacking plugin.

The admin basically told us to get over it and left. I asked in chat (he had vanished and I assumed could no longer hear me), and he told me:

“Drop it, or be banned for arguing with an admin.”The other server's admin

Chapter four

The Search

That was the moment I logged out of that server for good, opened a browser, and typed one question.

Zombie Land was born.And it has been running, every single day, ever since.

What we stand for

Three Things Most Servers Don't Have

We pride ourselves on a few key elements that the majority of Rust servers simply do not offer.

Admins Who Are Peers

An active admin team that forms a peer relationship with our player base while providing fair and equal treatment for all. The most disliked player receives the same support and treatment as the most well-behaved veteran.

Same ruling for everyone

A Sanctuary From Toxicity

We are notorious for an extremely strict no-toxicity policy and a very extensive ban list. Players know our servers are a sanctuary from the toxic world of gaming, and we provide constant support to keep it that way.

Zero tolerance

Custom Built, Free To Earn

Custom-developed plugins, custom maps and monuments, and free perks for every player based on playtime. The longer you stay, the more the server gives back.

More than a server

A Place To Come Home To

Events, builds, trivia nights, boss fights, and a chat that stays friendly because we keep it that way. Zombie Land is a beginner-friendly, non-toxic Rust PvE community with a long-standing, trusted reputation, and the people in it are the reason it has lasted more than eight years.
