Daily average and peak, UTC.
Server performance
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, measured since 17 Sep. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.
Rank

Wipe schedule
Its wipes keep no rhythm, so there is no next wipe to predict. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.
The first 48 hours of its last wipes
Players each hour, from the hour of the wipe. The latest peaked at 1, 28 hours in.
