ONE PERSON.
ONE HOSTING BILL.

No pay-to-win. No VIP tiers. No donor perks. Nothing you contribute changes anything in game for you or against anyone else — that's a promise, and it's also the only way I'm willing to run it.

[NO]
Pay-to-win
No items, no RP, no rates.
[NO]
VIP tiers
No queue skip, no reserved slots.
[NO]
Donor perks
Nothing you can't earn by playing.
[YES]
Hosting and bandwidth
That's the whole list. If it's been worth your time, the jar is below. If not, play anyway. That's the point.
HOSTING AND BANDWIDTH ONLY
Chip in if it's
been worth it.

No pay-to-win, no VIP tiers, no donor perks. Nothing you contribute changes anything in game for you or against anyone else. If you'd rather not, play anyway — that's the point.

WHAT YOU'RE
ACTUALLY PAYING FOR.

Server hosting
The monthly bill that keeps 100 slots online. 90 days at 100% uptime so far.
Bandwidth
2,785 registered players and a 96 MB sign-and-image store move real traffic.
Nothing else
That's the whole list. No salary, no marketing, no in-game anything.
HYBRID PVX is a hobby project run by one person. Contributions go toward server hosting and bandwidth only. We are not a registered nonprofit and contributions are not tax-deductible. Nothing is granted in game in exchange for a contribution.

ANSWERS.

Does contributing get me anything in game?
No. Not items, not RP, not gather rates, not a queue skip, not a reserved slot. Nothing. The only thing on offer is your name on a supporters list, and that's recognition with no mechanical effect — which is also what keeps it clean under Facepunch's server rules.
Where does the money actually go?
Server hosting and bandwidth. That's the entire list. This is a hobby project run by one person, not a registered nonprofit, and contributions are not tax-deductible.
What happens if I don't contribute?
You play exactly the same server as everyone else, with exactly the same access to every skill, every raid tier, every event and every shop item. That's the point of the whole design.
How do I join?
Connect directly from the Rust client using the server address on the home page, or come through Discord first if you'd rather ask questions before you spawn in. US East, 100 slots, monthly wipes.
Is the PvE zone genuinely safe?
Players cannot damage players there, and locked doors and boxes are immortal, so there is no raiding of any kind outside the PvP zone. What can still hurt you is the environment — Bradley, NPCs and animals all have explicit permission to fight back. PvE means no other player can ruin your day, not that nothing can.
How often does the map change?
Monthly. The PvE/PvP split also moves between wipes — which half is hostile and which way the dividing line runs both change, so check the server page at the start of each cycle rather than assuming last month's layout.
