Which Rust server is best for a first wipe?

One that wipes soon, holds a steady population, and caps group size low. A server due to wipe within a day or two gives you a fresh map where nobody has a head start. Look at the Last wipe column first: a server wiped minutes ago is busy and lawless, which suits some players and ruins others.

Does a higher gather rate make Rust easier to learn?

It cuts the time spent farming, but it also speeds up everyone else on the map. A 2x server is the usual compromise for new players because it shortens the early grind without reshaping the game the way 5x and 10x do. If a server name mentions a rate but the server is not listed under Modded, treat the claim with caution.

What do the server names in this list actually mean?

They mean the owner has chosen to advertise the server towards new players. This table is built only from those names, so a listing is not a sign that the server has been checked or approved. Any rules about spawn protection, lower upkeep or no kill-on-sight come from the server itself, so read its own page before relying on them.

Should I pick a server in my own region?

Yes, where you can. Ping affects every fight, and a server far from you makes early combat harder than it needs to be. The Region column is not filterable on this page, so type EU, US or AU into the search box to narrow the table.
