Joining a community
Use the Community browser, search by name and verify the server’s complete ID with its operator. Check rules before spending time on a server. The browser guide covers filters and the distinction from Official servers.
This site does not operate a server list, verify individual administrators or recommend a paid host. A name in the browser is not an endorsement by this wiki.
Local moderation versus BULKHEAD enforcement
The official policy says community administrators may kick or ban players from their own server. Those decisions affect that server and are handled by its operators. BULKHEAD does not review or overturn them.
Game-wide suspensions, permanent bans and hardware bans work differently: official enforcement can prevent online play across community servers too. Community hosting is not an anti-cheat exemption.
The cash bonus was time-limited
The September 12 patch notice offered a one-week 5% end-of-match cash bonus on community servers. It should not be advertised as a permanent advantage. Check a fresh official notice for any extension before planning around it.
Avoid servers or instructions designed around XP farming. The same patch notice explicitly warns about enforcement against that behavior.
Announced features are not automatically available
The notice lists favorites, tiered priority queues and several server-management features as work still in progress. We do not claim those shipped merely because they appear in a roadmap table.
What changed
The current guide reflects the 0.11 discovery improvements and the official moderation boundary. It does not infer server uptime, capacity or administrator trustworthiness.
