ROB RUN servers, wipes and regions

When do new ROB RUN servers open?

Kefir plans "at least one fresh server per day in each region"; more open automatically when load needs them, including outside these times. More regions will be added "when we can" (posted 4 November). Players have asked for Oceania and South America; neither is announced.

How often do ROB RUN servers wipe, and what do you keep?

Every seven days for now; Kefir says wipe length "could adjust down the road". The idea is a level playing field: a week to go from thug to boss, then start again. Players call the wipe the federal raid.

Kefir ties it to prison: the more wealth you hold when the wipe hits, the longer your prison sentence. Forum threads asking for monthly wipes appeared on day one; Kefir has not changed the schedule.

How do you change server?

Players report two routes: turn yourself in to the feds (Settings, then Other) or go to the prison on the map. Either way you start over on the new server, because progress belongs to the server you played on. If friends are spread across full servers, pick one fresh server together at the daily opening.

How big can a party be?

Up to three players (Kefir, September). A four-player party is not possible, even though cars have four seats; a 27-reply forum thread asks for it. Bigger groups play as a clan.

Can you play ROB RUN solo?

Yes, but there are no solo, duo or PvE servers. Kefir's FAQ: solo players "will struggle in direct clashes against full parties", but the mix of activities, cars and cops gives other ways to earn, and going solo has its own advantages. Solo players lean on quiet robberies with lockpicks, houses, and cop shifts. Start with the beginner guide.

How many players are on a server?

The store page talks of 5,000 players around you. In the city it is far fewer: one player counts about 20 in Looty Bay and 10 per settlement instance, and several report four cop slots. Kefir has not published instance sizes.

Are the servers down?

Launch week had long maintenance windows; on 5 November a 97-reply thread tracked servers going offline. Kefir did not post maintenance notices on its Steam news page, so the forum and the official Discord are where outages are discussed. One player warns that kit you have not stored can be lost when a server goes down mid-run. If the servers are up but you cannot log in, see login errors.
