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. 0 hours after the latest wipe, the crowd reached its peak. Half the peak was held until the next wipe in 0% of its recent wipes. In the other cases it dropped under half by day 2.
Test Server wipes with no fixed pattern, so there is nothing to predict. Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next monthly force wipe, and no Rust server is spared it. 4 days 1 hours have passed since this world was generated.
