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).

This server has not answered a direct query in the last 48 hours.

The server stands in the top 59% 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

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

5.2History

Table 2: Every wipe recorded, newest first.

Wiped (UTC)	Peak	Crowd	Lasted	Before
No wipe seen yet.

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.
