** UPDATED ** Feb 14th,2014
Without going into too much detail, let's start this out with a screenshot:
This gives us the creative freedom to look at your tag usages and incorporate that into our filtering system that is accessible from everywhere on the site.
What we have so far:
- Country Filtering
- Server Type Filter (PVP/PVE)
- Sleepers On or Off (tags: sleepers/nosleepers)
- Has Players or Is Empty > # of Players, < # of Players
- Useful tags
** If you haven't added your appropriate tagging, this is the time to do that. We take a lot of the tagging into account as we build this tool. **
Check it out: http://toprustservers.com
This thread will serve as exclusive updates/suggestions for the filter tool.
Thanks for your continued support and kindness. Hope you find this useful!

It would be nice to filter by number of players too, not just has or empty.
-
Planned :) Thanks for the feedback!
-
I realized how confusing the two search buttons were and the fact that they weren't connected to the regular querying was strange and not functional.
So here's the revised version:
More updates to follow!
-
Maybe u could get a filter for Mods in it? Just some popular? Maybe by drop down menu with checkboxes in it?
-
Update: We added # of players to the filter. When you select these options a freeform text field appears to enter your value.
Edited:
We definitely have a lot of people tagging oxide, rust++, etc so this is definitely possible. Maybe we can have a filter All Mods/No Mods/Rust++/Oxide.
-
like the idea filtering mods
-
Maybe you guys could add filtering for GSP? I tend to avoid some as some just provide bad service for the player
Edited:
Also are you keeping the option to favourite servers?
-
Hey guys, when you speak of mod filtering: Just filter by whether the server has oxide, rust++, etc? Or that PLUS like economy, hardcore, etc? Thanks in advance.
Edited:
We've never had favoriting of servers. We can look into supporting it in the near future, though!
That would require the server owners to list what GSP they are with. I don't have a way to really tell what GSP each server belongs to without doing some reverse dns stuff but then again, they could have it listed differently :/
Edited:
Update: We've added support for filtering mods/plugins. If you would like to add more to this list, just tell me and I'll check what we have for tagging to support the filter choice.
-
Hi, any chance you could also add some more Server Type options? Like rare/uncraftable C4/military weapons, not only PVP and PVE? It could be really useful:)
-
Certainly. Feedback like this helps us build a better filter tool. Up next we are adding in crafting times and possibly a way to differentiate vanilla from modded (still researching that). Thanks for the feedback.
-
Lets hope all the servers add tags now
-
I second the drop tables option, It's what sells me to the server
-
There's definitely a lot of people filling out their tagging but they are also not using unified tagging. Going to have to really rethink how to get everyone on the same page for similar tagging instead of creating their own.
Edited:
Noted. Thanks for the feedback! :)
-
We're noticing a lot of the same tags being used (but spelled differently), but there is no unified set list that we present you to use (that affect the filter tool). We've obviously got to do a better job with this so that's what we are gonna focus on for now. Just an update from our end. Thanks for the feedback/suggestions!
-
Alrighty server owners:
We've made things a little easier for you to get into the filter system where tags are applicable.
On your edit server listing page you'll now see a bunch of tags below your text field. You just click them to add them to your list. These are the same tags we use when matching up the filter. :)
-
I know this is not about the filtering but i would like to see a favourite function for the servers. In addition to the history.
-
Is there really a demand for a favorites feature on the site, though? If so, we'll build it. We do have the My Servers section which serves as a place for your claimed servers but we can extend that to your favorites as well. Thanks for the feedback.
-
A lot of filters missing... And also a sort button when filtered results come up...
-
What filters do you feel are missing? Our goal here is to make the tool consolidated but also useful enough to get what you need out of it.
Thanks in advance.
-
Right now there is only the "History" list i can use to find the right server again. Every time I join a server my history gets bigger and bigger so it takes longer to find the 1 or 2 server I realy like to play on. I would like to save my favourite servers so i can find them quickly. I asked some of my friends what they think about it and they agree with me. I hope now its a little clearer what i mean.
-
Ah, we aren't the developers of Rust, we just run a project for Rust that helps people find better servers (since there are so many).
-
Couple things I think would improve your site dramatically:
1) As others have mentioned, ability to sort on number of players, rank, name
2) Change your ranking system to something more than just votes. There seems to be some shady behavior around this and it's telling that your top servers have very few players playing on them. Maybe blend votes with active players? Something.
Edited:
Or just add a column for votes and let players sort on either votes or active players.
-
Cant u add something like that? A mod with a file which includes the ips of these servers? I think that would be like your "search by ip" box.
-
Thanks for the feedback. A lot to think about, but nevertheless, definitely something to look into.
Edited:
It's very possible. :) Will look into it soon :)
-
Jwerd, you sexy beast. Can't wait to see this come to fruition.
-
Aww <3 Can't wait either!
-
Hey jwerd, I love your Site, however I've seen something what bothered me.
If a User enters a wrong E-Mail: "Email is incorrect."
If a User enters the right E-Mail, but wrong password: "Password is incorrect."
While both cases are right and it does make sense. I dont think that it should be displayed.
I would rather add a more general Error Message, like: "Wrong Username or Password", its just a security thing.
-
Agreed. We'll get that fixed. Thank you! :)
-
Me again. Ive seen your spronsored bidding yesterday, I think its a good way to let them decide what they want to pay. All good so far.
Now how about you make 3 more pages?
You have your global list displayed. Where you have your 5 bidding slots.
You could additionaly set up 3 more pages.
Americas, Asia, Europe
Where each has 5 more Sponsored Slots, this way, people could bid on that what they really want. Be on top for their Region. Not fighting globaly.
Also, following the bidding yesterday, I dont think they were legit.
I think Sponsors should have funds in their account for this, otherwise its just a fight against trolls.
-
Wow man, lots of things to think about here. Thanks again for the feedback.
I don't want to force people to load an account with money, we will just have to be smarter about sponsored bidding. Even if that means less people can participate, it's better than trying to chase them down for what they committed to pay.
-
Well yes, thats what you need, more input or?
However, with the force thing you just mentioned. Ive got an email saying that some bids droped out. And that now I can use my bid which I have placed.
First though was, hey this is great! But then...
#1 randomfake1 200$
#2 randomfake2 198$
#3 randomfake3 195$
#4 legitguy5 192$
#5 randomfake6 190$
#6 randomfake7 188$
#7 legitguy8 182$
#8 randomfake9 179$
#9 legitguy10 90$
#10 legitguy11 85$
Now when you sort them out -
#1 192$
#2 182$
#3 90$
#4 85$
seems a bit unfair or? Maybe the gap isnt that high as I wrote here. But there is a gap for sure.
In this case, you should thing about making a new bid :/
just my 2 cents

Big Update
The Filter tool has been rebuilt to take advantage of all the tags we have asked people to put in their listings (where applicable). Here's the result of that.
Edited:
Since you have my email, let's discuss this there :) This thread is exclusive for updates to the filter tool/search.
-
awesome! ty jwerd
keep up your work :)
-
thanks chester! Glad you find it useful! and anything missing, just comment below and I'll look into it!
Keeping a watchful eye on this thread today, so I can iron out any issues.
-
Update: We're aware of an issue where certain filters are being ignored over others. The short answer is: we are investigating it. Long answer: We may need to rewrite the entire query system.
-
I don't see any "NoC4 Crafting" tag. That seems a lot more common than "rare military items" and they are far from the same.
-
Rare military items, count: 31
No Craftable C4: 6
With that said, we'll add NC4 to the filter, because it should be there. Thank you for your feedback. :)
Edited:
We've also bumped the default 6 maximum tags to 10, so tag more!
-
Thank you for adding the ability to filter for Vanilla servers!
-
Oh wow, that's surprising. I still think it's important because they give quite different types of games. Thanks for listening. :)
