Hey everyone,

We have some exciting news to share.

PlaySafe protected servers are now available in Rust, with DayZ coming soon - in partnership with some of the largest community servers.

* **Pickle** **Servers**: Rust community known for fighting cheaters > Available now
* **Salty Zombies**: One of the largest Rust PvE community server groups > Available now
* **OrigemZ**: One of the largest DayZ community server groups > Coming soon

Community server partnerships are an exciting new chapter for us, and Rust and DayZ are a great place to start. The teams behind these servers are not only passionate about their communities, but they also share our commitment to keeping cheaters out for better gaming. We're proud to welcome them to the PlaySafe ID family.

Whilst this isn't an official integration with Facepunch or Bohemia Interactive, it's a great first step and official integrations are still very much on our radar.

**< SERVER INFORMATION >**

The Rust servers are now live and you can find them by searching "playsafe" in the community server list. Alternatively you can use the direct connect info below:  


* **Pickle Servers:**
   * NA: connect [64.40.8.87](http://64.40.8.87)
* **Salty Zombies:**
   * NA: connect [91.229.114.64:28023](http://91.229.114.64:28023)
   * EU: connect [208.115.206.66:28615](http://208.115.206.66:28615)



The available servers will depend entirely on demand. For example, with SCUM we started with 2 official servers and Gamepires had to scale that number up significantly to meet demand.  


**< IMPORTANT NOTICE >**

Due to these being community servers and not official integrations, the PlaySafe ID system will work slightly differently here. Key things to note are:

**(1)** A valid PlaySafe ID is still required to join these servers. If a user has an invalid ID, for example, a full network penalty or an unverified account, they will not be able to join.

**(2)** Any ban report submitted to us directly from these community servers will **not** result in a PlaySafe ID **full network** penalty across games. It could however, result in a penalty restricting access to the specific community server network that submitted the report.

Example: A user gets manually / admin banned from the PlaySafe protected Salty Zombies Rust community server > they report this to us > we make a decision on the PlaySafe ID account > if a penalty is applied, it will only affect the Salty Zombies network of PlaySafe protected community servers.

This is to limit the potential for mod abuse we’ve discussed before when talking about community server integrations. PlaySafe ID full network penalties are strictly tied to Anti-cheat detections and reporting from official developers.

**(3)** These community servers are operated by their owners, not us. Any updates or changes, including but not limited to: content updates, wipes, pop limit changes, server rules and moderation are handled entirely by them.

We're genuinely thrilled to now be able to accommodate community servers, and we hope you all have a great time playing knowing cheaters are kept out and these servers will be free of BS.

Thank you all for your continued support. We'll keep working hard to bring PlaySafe ID to as many games as possible.
