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. M: the magnitude of the wipe, log10 of the rise from the players before it to that peak. First 48 h: its players hour by hour from the wipe.
