Top 63% of all ranked servers, and #579 of the quad servers (top 70%). Ranked on player hours over the last seven days.
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.
The record holds too few of Aqua Staging Branch's wipes to reveal its rhythm. 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 12 days 10 hours.
