Evolution of Rust - From 2013 to 2021

[@Neckromorph]

2013/2014 legacy Rust was so much fun. Just running around with friends and getting into fights zombies, bears, and players was great. I haven't really played it since then. It definitely looks likes its added a lot.

[@DIXIEUK1811]

as an old school player myself you’ve missed some vital information out. Like the old blueprint method, the time when they took blueprints out the game entirely, and when they decided to bring the blueprints back. You also didn’t mention the time when the tool cupboard upkeep didn’t exist

[@polarbearchimney]

I remember when they added the possibility to put ladders on walls and that I thought it was a terrible thing to do xD I remember i didnt like allot of the things they did early game, things that I just take for granted now and cant see it beeing done any other way.

[@AndyRobertooie]

@@Apollo5752353 The thing i really liked about rust was how free and different from other games it felt though... It isn't scared of nudity, wasn't scared of having a hard learning curve and it also doesn't care if someone has to get off. The game nowadays feels like it is catering to a more softer, younger audience. Also, don't get me started on "Pick up and play" Go pick yourself up a controller and play some console rust for all i care.

[@wethegamers870]

I first played rust practically when it originally released in 2014. Before not able to build on roads, little to no types of comps, zombies were in game and a good base was considered a standard stone 2x2. Especially remember when the animals looked heavily mutated and they HEAVILY wanted to give stalker like vibes and everything gave you rads.

Such great memories with this game! Before Rust released on early access, it was sold on their website. But instead of selling the game normally (pay $20 get key) they did it Dutch Auction style. The price would reset every hour or so I think. I only paid $16 for this Gem of a game back in the day!

[@CooJoe05]

I think I paid like 9$ but now it's $40..It's worth it but glad I got in while it was a Gem

[@OrdinaryApprentice99]

Under the rust community you will ALWAYS hear about its legacy version time. Graphics were decent for 2013 and especially good for toaster pc players like myself back then. Gunfights were super action packed with the famous phrase „high ground“ coming for the first time in my gaming life. Charging for the airdrops where you knew EVERYONE would run to. It was just such a sick experience man. What I absolutely love to remember about it especially was this sick radiation noise giving you anxiety while bears were actual threats. The dark brown walls which you crafted your first shelter with. The first axe you looted wood with etc. LEGENDARY.

[@ArkayeCh]

Early 2013 Rust was such a unique creation. It was sandwiched between games like ARMA, 7 Days to Die and Minecraft. It was born from the days of horror survival crafting multiplayer before battle royales took over the entire industry.

[@SpontaneouCombustion]

Oh boy it was the worst, it was also so bad lol. You spawned in with a bolty and a couple other things and a lot of crap like base building things didn't even have textures and were just an off blue.

I played rust when it first came out on steam. I played with friends and family. Game was amazing, banditry was rampant, the zombies and the rad bears were horrifying.

been playing rust for 9 years you did an amazing job recapping everything that has happened in the game over the years bravo!👏

[@im_cart8656]

man legacy rust was wild.. random spray patterns so all fights were tap firing.. the INSANE amount of greifing that went on since there was no build privs.. so dudes with a rock would just hop on the server .. knock down a few trees and greif bases by putting barricades in front of their door. this is what started the meta where people would build a tower base with a 3x3 on top and have the whole surrounding area be spikes since they had more HP similar to a modern armored wall. also people were FAR more social and often neighbors would look out for each other and basically in game chat was used far more commonly. always nice to run around your "neighborhood" checking up on people. it truly gave a sense of community. i like modern rust far more now.. but legacy has many great memories for me
