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 Paul's Test 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. This world dates from 31 days 19 hours.
