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.
Recent wipes on this server averaged a peak of 1 players at their busiest. Peak population on the latest wipe came 0 hours after it.
Too few wipes are recorded for The Sandbox to establish a pattern. On Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC the monthly force wipe arrives, and every Rust server wipes with it. This world dates from 42 days 4 hours.
