Goon Playground was a Goon hosted Rust server co-owned by Bishyaler and Shadowgate after the latter agreed to fold his own server into the formers. The server served as the stage for the Playground Wars and directly contributed to the creation of BMW.

History

Goon Playground was started on April 25th 2015 by Shadowgate as Goon interest in New Rust began climbing.

By May 1st, many of the big names were on the server setting up clans. It was around this time as well that Shadowgate began experiencing problems with his host, forcing him and Bishyaler, who was running a smaller server at the time, to merge the two together, retaining the Goon Playground branding. The server was also upgraded with several mods, including the much abused Sign Image Artist, the very first image uploaded being a hentai image by Succ.

Post-BMW

After the formation of BMW, the servers population dropped to near zero, with only Method Man and a few random pubbies and Goons hanging around. The server would languish in this state for months until the Fall 2015 Hiatus.
