Do official Rust servers run vanilla settings?

Nearly all of them do. They carry Rust's vanilla tag and leave gather rates at 1x, so the numbers in the Rates column read as vanilla. A few list themselves as modded, and that shows in the Tags column. Official means run by Facepunch or a partner, not that every setting is untouched.

When do official Rust servers wipe?

Facepunch's force wipe hits every map on the first Thursday of the month, and that affects official servers too. Beyond that, each server or network sets its own rhythm. Most wipe on the same weekday every week or two, with Thursday, Monday and Friday the common choices, and a few go monthly. The Next wipe estimate in the table tracks what each server has been doing.

Why are official servers often full with a queue?

They sit in the game's own Official tab, which is the first place many players look. Regulars also know the wipe times, so a fresh wipe pulls a crowd within minutes. That means the busiest servers can run several hundred slots and still show a queue. If you want to skip the wait, pick a partner server with the same wipe day and a shorter queue.

What is the difference between official and community Rust servers?

Official servers are run by Facepunch or an approved partner network, usually with vanilla settings and regular wipe schedules. Community servers are run by anyone else and can be modded or vanilla, with their own rules and wipes. On this table, official servers tend to be the busier ones, which is why queues are more common here. Community servers often have lower populations and different admin setups.
