Bring back Rust legacy#19712

Seriously, you don’t have to update it just bring back the legacy rust from when you guys started. I loved that version way more than the new one. I have maybe played the new one for an hour or two whereas I had hundreds of hours in the old version…

The problem is their goal is quite clear to me what they want rust to become. It was fun not to have a map and rely on our memory to find out the places, the map item…

Now a days i play EFT. When i want a more relax time, i go into a PvE server where i can enjoy the game mechanics (not PvP).

Cheers

Rust is for newage spoiled kids now, they dont feel rewarded for hard work, legacy is to hard for kids now and that is majority.

It would be nice to play for max a month than it would get boring. Its the fact that Rust was new and exciting when you started that it feels better. Rust is much better today, even tho my best moments are from the old days.

lucky me who still has the original rust legacy server & client files :)

Legacy was great I played it for years and it honestly seems like a completely different game to this version. I would love to see someone make a game like it or create a legacy map in this version of the game with the new monuments in the wastelands but other than that I’m happy with not having a official one anymore. The devs had to constantly pay for stuff for it and it just wasn’t worth it for them.

when alpha came out you used to be able to convert back to legacy through “opt out of betas” for a short while. wouldnt they just have to reopen that capability?

Unfortunately not. They had to pay a pretty decent amount every year for it apparently. Presumably because of either assists used or some sort of partnership with someone. And since legacy only had about 200 players left lots of them being bots it got the boot.

Even if you could find the files online to play it today I wouldn’t recommend it. Best to keep thinking about how good it was back then instead of playing it today and realizing that it doesn’t hold up to today’s standards.

Sad part is that for many of us, our standards were ditched a long time ago. Features that encouraged survival over pvp would be prime examples. However, it was the community that really made Rust great back then, not necessarily the game itself, though the game itself encouraged that community unlike today. So ultimately, this effort would fail.

Legacy was amazing for what it was and I dream of a universe where it was updated and built on insted of recreated from the ground up.

Tbh though most of the features I miss such as the map and the hit scan gun pvp along with what the recoil that used to be in it isn’t many differences to the current version . At the end of the day Rust is rust and I don’t want to cry about what could have been when I have this version to play.

At the same time with legacy though I felt it was only good on modded severs where they fixed stuff such as the greifing in a sense of literally adding another foundation and a wall to someone’s base. I know in modded you could remove them but in vanilla to my knowledge you couldn’t.

I and many others had some great times and amazing memories on that game. I personally almost reached 2.5k hours in it and I know people who had many more but honestly it wouldn’t hold up today if the same version was released.

I know I’m necroing this post… but I honestly don’t think its the community or the rust game that made rust great back then… well depends on how you define “community” in my humble opinion it was discored, teamspeak, skype and other third party chat software that ruined rust. back then those software were known but arn’t as mainstream as they are today, when people whent online to game they more often then not did so alone, so when they got on rust they were looking for friends they were using the in game voice chat and were open to having a gameplay session that wasn’t just “kicking ass with the boys”…

the problem isn’t singularly rust its all games that were effected by this, the gaming community went from one that was generally open and accepting to closed and group oriented. If you didn’t have a friend already you wont find one in a game. its sad and depressing, but thats where its at now…

You can still play this game
