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 average peak across its recent wipes is 2 players. 0 hours after the latest wipe, the crowd reached its peak. In 0% of recent wipes, population held above half the peak right through to the next wipe. In the other cases it dropped under half by day 3.
