Well, that's what I'm saying, just a project for milking money. I just don't understand how the hell they break even, since they have more than 10 servers, and the total live online is 200 people... Renting 1 server is about 4-5k rub per month. I don't think 200 people donate more than 50k rub per month to this dump, because I used to admin projects with 100-200 online, and they barely manage to get 7-10k in donations per month.
No point writing to the monitor. Write to server support (usually need to submit a ticket on discord).
Can't download the map. That happens often on Magic, especially if you're not from Russia. Magic themselves post maps for download on Discord for that. As for the gorilla, I dunno. If they don't post maps on social media, then either ask admins or friends to send the map.
Also clear the map cache. Located at path Steam\steamapps\common\Rust\maps. Or simply in Steam "Browse local files", there will be a maps folder. Delete all files in it. Try to join after that. If it doesn't work, then delete the map again and ask someone to send you the server map. Then put it in the maps folder and calmly join the server.
Awesome server from players (streamers) for players! Just opened and already has online players and a sea of positive emotions! Played the first wipe on it, won prizes. Positive and professional server admin team! I recommend!
1. "there was no software as such" how is that to be understood?
2. You should not write here, as this is just ordinary server monitoring in Rust. You need to write to the developers of the Karma Rust project directly, depending on where they have tech support. Often, on RU and CIS projects, it's a group in VK or a Discord server.
Dude, you shouldn't be writing here, this is just a regular server monitoring service. You need to contact the Rusty Moose devs directly. Often there's a ticket system in their Discord server for that. Submit a request there in English, since the project is foreign.
Writing about it here won't achieve anything.

RuRust or a server with offended school-admins.
Decided to go global with friends to play on some server. Found on GameMonitoring the server RuRust, specifically RUSSIAN | LUCKY | For beginners.
After a few hours of playing we realized something was fishy, because the online was 500+, but in the T3 zone, where there should have been many people, there was almost nobody except a couple of small groups of neighbors. In the end we decided to discuss the issue with the alliance in the TEAM chat and got banned. After writing a question to support, they didn't answer us, just banned us everywhere...
I don't recommend playing on such projects.
Also here's the impression we ended up with:
A donation-based school-project, faking online. Of real players, at most 100 people play, everything else is fake. Even when you bring up this topic in the team chat, the admin-whiners immediately give a ban without warning, despite the fact that they already have almost no real players. The project's social networks are also AFK and faked, the latest news in Discord was back in '25, and the general chat is completely closed. There is no actual support where you can ask for help. Only an abandoned VK group. And even if you write there about the ban, nobody will reply. They'll read it and block you in the group. If I could send videos and screenshots here, I would confirm everything.
The project is so poor that the fake boost only works on the 1st-2nd day of wipe, after which it sharply drops to 50 people, and for most of the wipe it doesn't even rise above 20. I don't recommend playing there because of the fake online, the inadequacy of the administration, who are apparently about 12 years old, and overall because the project is essentially a НН where everything is created only for donations and there isn't even a wipe block and people can start with T2 guns with a promo code.
In general, I suggest boycoting, shaming and blocking such servers on monitoring sites, because they mislead players and also waste the time of ordinary users, which causes trust to be lost even in the monitoring sites themselves, because possibly players will get the impression that the monitoring sites are somehow involved in such projects, throwing them into the tops, since when searching for RUSSIAN, this project appears in the tops.
What auto farm are you talking about? What are you even talking about?

Donate-based school project, running online. Out of real players, max 100 people are playing, the rest is inflated numbers. Even when you bring up this topic in the team chat, the butthurt admins immediately give a ban without warning, despite the fact that they already have almost no real players. The project's social media are also AFK and inflated, the last news in Discord were back in '25, and the general chat is completely closed. There is no support to contact for help. Only an abandoned VK group. And even if you write there about a ban, nobody will answer you. They'll read it and block you from the group. If it were possible to send videos and screenshots here, I'd confirm everything. The project is so broke that the fake numbers only work on day 1-2 of the wipe, after which it sharply drops to 50 people, and for most of the wipe it doesn't even go above 20. I don't recommend playing there because of the inflated player count, the inadequacy of the administration, who are apparently about 12 years old, and overall because the project is basically an NN where everything is created only for donations and there isn't even a wipe block and people with a promo code can start with t2 guns.
