What can we answer reliably?
The official September 10 post describes parties of up to three players, while the October 2 FAQ describes clans of up to one hundred. These are not interchangeable group sizes. A hundred-person clan does not mean a hundred-person party, and a party-size statement does not document the invite screen, a server-selection button or whether a full server will accept another friend.
The supplied research found strong demand for joining a friend’s server but no reliable walkthrough of the current interface. We have not played through the flow. It would be misleading to invent a menu path such as a specific button, keyboard shortcut or invite action. The answer here is deliberately limited: agree on the destination first, and treat the exact join controls as an evidence gap until they have been checked in game.
Before you try: compare the same information
As a practical coordination checklist, ask your friend for the region and the exact server name or identifier displayed in their game. Compare that with what your own game displays, if it is available. This is editorial advice for avoiding a mismatch, not a verified ROB RUN menu sequence. We cannot tell you where a server identifier appears or promise that a matching listing guarantees entry.
The November 4 announcement listed EU and East US, with at least one fresh world opening daily in each region. A region is broader than an individual server. Merely agreeing to “play EU” may leave the destination ambiguous when several worlds exist. Record the world your group chooses before building up shared plans. Do not assume an account name, a region label or a clan tag alone identifies the exact world.
If the party or connection fails
Launch-week forum replies reported problems with group play. A November 6 nowgame.eu report, updated November 7, says party-system bugs were being fixed. This is secondary reporting rather than a reproduction of your problem. It does not prove that a present invite failure is fixed, that the same bug remains, or that changing servers will solve it.
Check the official community announcements before repeatedly changing settings. If an error instead says “Waiting for status information,” use the dedicated page: a Steam thread records that symptom, but no client-side fix was confirmed. Keep a screenshot of the exact message and the time when asking for help. Never share Steam login codes or account credentials to let another player “fix” the invitation; those are not needed for comparing a server identifier.
What is at stake on a server?
Kefir’s October 2 FAQ says clans belong to the chosen server and a wipe cycle currently lasts seven days. Those are two separate rules: a clan is server-specific, while the wipe is a progression reset. Neither rule documents a transfer system. Do not treat a server switch as a verified way to move a clan, a house or a bank balance. This guide cannot promise what an untested switch preserves.
According to games.gg’s November 7 beginner guide, plots, bases, weapons, cash and bank funds reset at a wipe; cosmetics, your name, tutorial progress, settings and jail time remain. That distinction is useful when planning with friends, but it is secondary reporting, not a tested migration checklist. Before investing in shared progression, agree which server you intend to use and consult the current in-game information. We do not supply a countdown that assumes all worlds reset together.
What this page does not promise
There is no verified transfer policy, server-capacity bypass, queue shortcut or guaranteed reconnect procedure in the source file. We also do not know the precise current invite flow or whether progression follows a particular join action. Avoid paying a third party for an alleged instant-access service on the strength of this guide; we provide no such service and sell no game items.
Once your group is together, make the first run simple and agree on an exit. That is planning advice, not an assertion about a hidden mechanic. For the documented role risks, read the beginner and masks guides. For world timing, read the wipe schedule. The source links below let you check the official party and clan limits without relying on an unsourced sequence of clicks.
