Coming up · wipe schedule
Not enough wipes seen yet to tell when the next one is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.
This server has not put up a new map since the desk started watching it.
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.
Too few wipes are recorded for Test Server to establish a pattern. Every server in Rust, this one among them, wipes at the monthly force wipe; Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next. This world dates from 26 days 8 hours.
