None the less if you build a community. I'm running mine for 2 years now.On my server I had my own Arena system (as I didn't really believe in most of plugins what I found here, and I still think that if you want to create something really cool, you'll need to do some coding).
It was working like this - I had 2 arenas build far away from players, and of course secured with my Zone plugin, so nobody could destroy it or build near.
Player was opening game, other was writing "/arena join" and if everything was ok they were teleported to one arena. I don't remember if I ended removing and giving back of inventory, but it was in development for sure. I remember that I was also preparing 2vs2 game.
People loved my server for things like that - many custom plugins, more entertainment.
But guys remember - it will change fast if some cheater will join that match and ruin it. That's why I closed my server - people was mad at me because I couldn't "add proper anticheat", they didn't care about how many plugins I made to make that Rust more cool for them.
Yesterday I was playing on some new polish server and I saw there that unaware admin what I was on first days off my server. He just didn't know how many cheaters are on his server right now. I wonder how many time it will take for him to close it
Virtual storage is possible, but I would limit It or make It possible with iConomy to buy slots. On equinox we have an application thingy and thats how we get "okay" admins and we see in a couple of days if they are fine.I tried. Had website, people even bought vips, they really liked server. But I couldn't sit on server 24h per day to keep eye on what is going on at night. I was half of times playing undercover just to spy all that shit and ban. But at night it's different. I thought that if someone (admin) need to ruin his gameplay just to watch players all the time it have no sense. For 1 player who wanted to stay there was 40 who wanted to go out. In 3 months I've got about 3000-6000 players total even that there was limit up to 25 players at once.
If someone go into rust just to play FPS it may be easy for them to forget about cheaters. But my server was about survival and economics, so one guy was ruining fun of half of server. But there was some cool guys and actions of course. That's why I'm back and hoping to maybe make something cool yet again if I'll have time
But I just wanted to tell anybody, that you need to remember if you don't have proper admins who know what they doing and most of security you can get, and you want to add some cool features like arena / tdm or whatever, you need to prepare that some of players will be really mad when something goes wrong.
For me it was just 2 players who decided to fly into arena while their was game. They didn't even know that admin is online.
I need to think about some plugin what will save player items or something, or give them opportunity to get some back on next login. Some "virtual" storage. But my guy from France don't reply to me on Skype and without him I don't want to start all of that
