1Summary statistics
2Population
Figure 1 follows the players on the server at three scales: every five minutes over two hours, the hourly mean and peak over 48 hours, and the daily mean and peak over 90 days. Dashed uprights mark its wipes.
3Performance
We query the server directly for its frame rate, entity count and memory4. Low frames per second and a climbing entity count are what players feel as lag (Figure 2).
4Rank
The server stands in the top 29% of all ranked servers. Rank is on player hours over the last seven days, and 1 is best; Figure 3 draws it day by day.

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. Before: players just before it wiped. A new world less than six hours after a wipe is a restart, not a wipe of its own.
