Notes

IP change killed the BattleMetrics integration for the original server on 12/5. The player list under “Most Time Played” capped out at 133 unique players - most of which played for 10 minutes or less.

A new server was picked up by BattleMetrics and is the current server as of wipe 4.

Wipe 8 “Unique Players” seems to have taken a dive due to BattleMetrics leaderboard rollover, or something. It was a fairly popular wipe, some folks even deciding to team up for next wipe.

Wipe 10 is when I started with the “creative” settings enabled. Most people that joined were confused that there weren’t free build plugins and all blueprints unlocked.

# Place objects without the usual restrictions. Build within building blocked zones, overlap with other objects, and place in TC zones more freely.
