Server performance

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

48 hours: hourly readings. 30 to 90 days: one point a day, with the day's average and lowest fps, most entities and most memory. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.

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. A new world less than six hours after a wipe is a restart, not a wipe of its own.

The name tells you nothing about gather rates: TEST states none. Eight players per group is the default, and it applies here. You get survival here, gather, build and raid, as in the standard game. You can raid and fight other players here. You will find it under Community: it is a community server. The anti-cheat VAC from Valve is enabled.
