Regular server wipes are important for maintaining an active player base and preventing progression bottlenecks. These wipes typically involve resetting both the map and player data, offering a fresh gaming experience. In some cases, it might only be a map reset.
It's important to make it clear to players when a server wipe will take place so they are aware of how their in-game progress will be affected.
Assigning a Wipe Date
You can set a wipe date in The Front Server Settings file found in your server's control panel.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to Files > Config Files.
- Click The Front Server Settings.
- Locate the Wipe Date option, and set this to your desired date. As stated, the format required is YYYY-MM-DD. For Example, setting the value to
2023/11/10would set the wipe date as the 10th of November, 2023.
- Save and Start your server.
- You can then see the Wipe Date on the server browser, the duration will be stated by the number of days until wipe.
