The timeline
Wipes
Every wipe on record as a dated marker, the force wipes among them, and the wipes expected next. Newest first in the record below.
The record of each wipe
No wipe seen yet.
Peak: the most players in the first 48 hours. Crowd: whether every day of the wipe kept at least half that peak, or the day it fell below. A new world less than six hours after a wipe is a restart, not a wipe of its own.
The rhythm
Wipe schedule
Not enough wipes seen yet to tell when the next one is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.
The record
Population, performance and rank
Kept in folders: players every five minutes, every hour and every day; the server answering for itself; its rank among every server ranked.
Players
Every five minutes, from the Steam server list.
Hourly average and peak, UTC.
Daily average and peak, UTC.
Server performance
48 hours: hourly readings. 30 to 90 days: one point a day, with the day's average and lowest fps, most entities and most memory. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.
Rank
Top 69% of all ranked servers. Ranked on player hours over the last seven days.
