Frequently asked questions

Rank-Serv is a ranking of game servers. Owners list their server, players vote for their favourites, and the most voted servers of the month rise to the top of their game's ranking.

Yes. Browsing the rankings, voting and listing a server are completely free.

The list of available games is shown on the home page. Each game has its own ranking, tags and filters. If your game is missing, write to us to suggest it.

Not to browse the rankings or to vote. An account is only required to list, claim or manage a server.

Open the server's page, click Vote, enter your in-game username and complete the anti-bot check. No account is needed.

You can vote for the same server once every 2 hours. The time left before your next vote is shown if you try again too early. You can vote for several different servers.

There are three possible reasons: you already voted for this server less than 2 hours ago (with this username or from this connection), the anti-bot check failed, or the server has not yet been claimed by its owner.

Some servers are listed automatically without having an owner on the site. Voting only opens once the server has been claimed by its owner.

No. Bots, scripts and any process intended to generate artificial votes are forbidden. Fraudulent votes are removed and the owner's account may be suspended.

A game's servers are ranked by the number of votes received during the current month. The more votes a server gets, the higher it climbs.

All counters are reset on the 1st of each month. Every server starts again on an equal footing, however long it has been listed. The countdown to the next reset is shown on the home page.

Individual votes are deleted. Only the totals per server and per day are kept for statistics, with no personal data.

Each vote tier reached during the month earns your server a reward: Premium time, or a highlight on the ranking page or on the home page. The tiers are detailed on the home page.

Create an account, verify your email address, then click Add my server. Choose the game, enter the IP address and port, then complete the listing: description, tags, banner, logo and community links.

On the server's page, click Claim the server. You are given a code: add it temporarily to the name or description of your game server, then click Verify. The code is valid for 24 hours and can be removed once the verification has succeeded.

The site queries your server directly to find out its status. Check that the saved IP address and port are correct, that the query port is open in your firewall or with your hosting provider, and that your server answers external queries.

Some servers hide their players' names. In that case, only the number of connected players is shown. This depends on your game server's configuration, not on the site.
