I can realate.
Sadly, I had to quit the US Pure too, due to the increase in population. After 6 wipes, where I learned a lot and met so many nice people. Always loved the attention and care of the Admins. Specially @amsullivan, @Northstarz and @Granny.
Great community, that teaches me that even in RUST, people can be nice to each other. (to a certain point lol)
I quit because I'm a loner and I like to keep distance from people. Wich is impossible in a server with 200+ people.
I am a solo, and I'll always be. I like to talk with people in chat about random things with my broken english and that's it. Enough interaction for me.
Also, the hoarders are a problem, specially with Cars. And with that many people online, resources will scarce. And being a pve server, where you can't kill or steal...it's a problem.
I migrated to the AU Pure. Where people are really nice too. And I found my peace to chill in Rust there. 🙂
I hope to return someday. See ya!
