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 weather: fair when the crowd held, showers when it halved within two days, a storm for the force wipe.
