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 60% 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.
