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 49% 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.
5Wipes
5.1Schedule: no rhythm it keeps
Its wipes keep no rhythm, so there is no next wipe to predict. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.
| Measure | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Usual gap | 2.2 days | between real wipes |
| On rhythm | 100% | of its recent wipes |
| Wipe-day peak | 5 | players, last three wipes |
| Crowd held | 100% | of its cycles kept half the crowd |

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.
