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

|---|---|---|---|---|

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.
