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).

5.1Schedule: too few wipes seen yet

Not enough wipes seen yet to tell when the next one is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.

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.
