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.
Recent wipes on this server averaged a peak of 103 players at their busiest. The crowd on the latest wipe peaked 27 hours in.

(Region code): Region code: none set; ^m (Monthly): A single monthly wipe, set by Facepunch's force wipe; ^v (Vanilla): The rates, kits and rules are unchanged from what Facepunch ships; ^t (Tutorial on): Facepunch's tutorial is available here for new players; sc2 (Custom tag): A plugin or the owner set this tag; it is not standard Rust, which [EU] Facepunch 7 publishes. Also in the tags: players on now, the queue, and when the world was made. You will find them at the top of this page.
