Wipe cycle

How fast servers empty after a wipe

84% lower: the typical server's peak on day 3 after a wipe, against its wipe day peak

Each server's peak players on each day after a wipe, as a share of its own wipe day peak (the first 24 hours after the wipe). The line follows the typical server (the median) day by day from the wipe and stops at the first day with fewer than 25 servers to compare. An hour with nobody online counts as empty.

  • Day 0: the typical server's peak was 100% of its wipe day peak
  • Day 1: the typical server's peak was 80% of its wipe day peak
  • Day 2: the typical server's peak was 56.4% of its wipe day peak
  • Day 3: the typical server's peak was 16.4% of its wipe day peak
  • Day 4: the typical server's peak was 6% of its wipe day peak
  • Day 5: the typical server's peak was 4.7% of its wipe day peak
  • Day 6: the typical server's peak was 5.9% of its wipe day peak
