Coming up · wipe schedule
Next wipe Thursday 5 November, 19:00 UTC, in 7d 20h. The 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.
