I think that it would be in the best interest of everyone to make the US pure server Bi-weekly. This would help with a lot of problems currently affecting the server.
It would:
-reduce lag
-maintain a player base later in wipe
-keeps the server more fresh overall
I and a lot of other often enjoy the Pure server, though the general consensus is that the wipes are too long and believe that it would be better if wiper every other week. The server often gets a lot of traffic early wipe, though majority of the player base will leave around 10-14 days into wipe and the server becomes relatively inactive. With a Bi-weekly wipe this would maintain the player base activeness and give more people a reason to come around next wipe. With a monthly wipe, it causes a lot of people (specifically new members) to lose interest in the server and they won't come next wipe.
Lag -- with a Bi-weekly wipe, this would reduce lag, while being implemented with the 7 day rule. with only 2 weeks, a lot of the casual players wont have time to build up and create these lag inducing bases. This would be a lot better overall for the general player base, where most say there largest problem is with the server. The Bi-weekly wipe system would prevent a lot of people from getting to the stage of finishing the wipe so they end up just putting Christmas lights and such all around their base. Which (along side farms) is most definitely the largest lag inducer on the server.
Freshness -- The Bi weekly wipe system would keep the player base entertained and continually moving along, by restarting progress mid way through the normal wipe, this would have a lot of people come back on the server and build once again. The server could benefit from this influx of player traffic as more people would be inclined in buying VIP, and other stuff available in the Rust EZ store.
I hope that my argument can convince you enough to perhaps change the system or even a new server with a bi-weekly schedule.
