Seven days is a cycle, not a global countdown
The October 2 official FAQ says the current wipe cycle lasts seven days and that its length could change later. This is the supported answer to “how often.” The supplied material does not give a verified reset timestamp for every named world. A single countdown across the whole game would imply a synchronized event that our evidence does not establish.
Check the current information for your particular world before planning around a date. We have not confirmed the interface that displays a world’s age or reset notice. The idea that each wipe follows that world’s opening date is a plausible inference in the research, explicitly unverified. We do not turn it into a timetable or calculate a next-wipe date from an assumed creation time.
The November 4 fresh-server schedule
Kefir announced at least one fresh server per day per region: EU at 17:00 UTC and East US at 20:00 ET. More worlds could open automatically when demand required it. That announcement describes fresh-server availability, so it can help a group look for a new start. It should not be copied into a headline that says all EU progress disappears at 17:00 UTC.
Keep the original timezone labels when sharing the schedule. UTC is explicit; ET is the developer’s Eastern Time wording. This guide does not silently replace ET with a fixed UTC offset, because that would require choosing a date and accounting for daylight-saving rules. If you need a local conversion, use the relevant calendar date and first confirm the current announcement has not changed the opening plan.
What is reportedly kept and lost?
The November 7 games.gg guide reports that cosmetics, the player name, tutorial progress, settings and jail time remain. It reports that plots, bases, weapons, cash and bank funds reset. These details are secondary-source guidance, not an independently observed wipe on our account. They explain why laundering and permanent ownership are different questions: money safe from theft can still be part of a reset.
The official FAQ connects accumulated wealth with a longer prison sentence at the end of a cycle. Jail time is part of the broader progression frame, but this source set does not document every reward threshold or redemption step. Do not plan purchases around an invented conversion rate. It is more useful to keep a clear distinction between the current world’s material wealth and the identity or progress that guides say remains.
Cash in hand is not the same as secure progress
The official October 2 FAQ says a base Laundering Desk turns cash into money safe from thieves. That protection is not a promise that funds survive a wipe. The November 7 games.gg guide says bank funds reset alongside cash and bases. Treat laundering as protection during the current cycle, rather than permanent savings across all future servers or updates.
The November 4 official changes also replaced cash with documents for Tier 1 settlement and plot costs. games.gg points players to the Black Market for those documents. This matters when comparing older guides: advice about saving a specific cash amount for your first plot may describe an earlier build. Check the actual item, currency and seller shown in your game before paying for equipment or land. Our prices and routes are dated reference material, not a live shop feed.
How should a new group plan?
Agree on the same region and world, then check its current cycle information. The join-friends guide does not have a verified menu path, and this page does not fill that gap with a fake selection screen. A new daily world may be relevant if your group wants a fresh start, but neither an opening schedule nor a party limit guarantees a place on that world.
Use the latest official announcement over an old guide if the two disagree. The task research was compiled on November 9, so this page states the known cycle and the dated opening plan without pretending to poll the game. There is no automatic reset timer here and no promise of item recovery after a wipe. If you find a newer official schedule, send the source link through Contact for editorial review.
