What are Newbie Servers? Why has my server disappeared?

Newbie Servers are available for a limited time. They help new players get used to the game in a less competitive environment.

You get a Tasks list on screen — a step-by-step guide from your first shelter to your first pistol.

Newbie protection works against other players only. Bots, zombies, animals and traps can still kill you.

The game warns you in the lobby one day before your newbie period ends. After that, these servers disappear from your list and can't be brought back.
