HWS Frontier

Hello, HWS Community! @everyone.

I've really been looking forward to making this announcement, and I really hope you'll share my excitement!

On June 4th, HWS is expanding into Rust.

We are launching two brand-new servers, built on the same principles that have made HWS Empyrion what it is today. A place where everyone can have fun, including both new players and veterans.

I will personally be running and administrating these servers. You can check out the details and watch the launch countdown right now on our new website: https://rust-homeworld.net.

The goal with these servers is to create a space that's actually playable. Active moderation, no cheaters, and no griefers, still while making plenty of room for high-stakes PvP. There will both be new custom-made features, as well as features that you already know, like:

Custom quests and daily events
The Orbital Cargo Drone
HWS Marketplace
A free veteran bonus for those who played on HWS in Empyrion (And the opposite as well) 😏
And much more!

I've been a part of HWS for around 9 years by now, starting out as a player in a small faction, and another 5-6 years as staff solving thousands of your tickets. Whenever Empyrion has been broken, or you made a mistake, I've been by your side. Now, I'm using everything I've learnt about what it means to play on HWS to recreate the experience in Rust, focusing on long-term progression and community.

Now you may be thinking: what about Empyrion?
Don't worry. @RexXxuS will continue working on the Empyrion servers. I will be running the Rust servers, while he continues working on the Empyrion servers as he has for the last 10+ years.
We will be working together in order to grow HWS as a whole, ensuring that both games benefit from a larger, more active community.

I hope to see as many of you as possible in-game for a legendary launch and a new chapter on HWS!
