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 0 players. Peak population on the latest wipe came 0 hours after it.
Empire's wipe history is too thin on record to show a rhythm. Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next monthly force wipe, and no Rust server is spared it. The world you are playing on was built 23 days 2 hours.
