How is a beginner Rust server ranked here?

By its live player count, refreshed every five minutes, and by that count's recent history. A server that holds a steady population across a wipe cycle ranks above one that spikes briefly and empties. No server pays for placement on this page.

What is a good group limit for learning Rust?

Solo and duo servers are the simplest place to learn survival and building without meeting a large clan. A trio or quad cap gives you some help while still limiting team size. Check the Group column before you join.

When should I join a beginner server after a wipe?

Joining within the first hour or two of a wipe puts you on the same footing as everyone else. Joining a server that is due to wipe within the hour rarely gives you time to build anything. The Last wipe and Next wipe columns show both dates.

Are these servers actually new-player friendly?

The list is built from server names, not from a review of rules or behaviour, so no name guarantees protection. Some servers offer spawn protection, lower upkeep or no kill-on-sight rules; others do not. Open a server's page and read its own rules before you rely on them.

Rank is the catalogue number: RS-070 is the 70th server on players over the last seven days. The bar under the players is how full the server is; the light curve its players hour by hour. Next wipe is an estimate (~) unless it is the force wipe (FW); hover a time for the reason.
