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. Peak population on the latest wipe came 7 hours after it.
No next wipe can be predicted for RustServer, which wipes at irregular times. Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next monthly force wipe, and no Rust server is spared it. 25 days 17 hours have passed since this world was generated.
