The server stands in the top 30% of all ranked servers, the top 56% in NA. 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.
