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 3 players. The crowd on the latest wipe peaked 2 hours in.
Too few wipes are recorded for Staging Server to establish a pattern. On Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC the monthly force wipe arrives, and every Rust server wipes with it. The world you are playing on was built 27 days 21 hours.
