FAQ for the BestGames.to Rating Site

1. What is the "Votes" system on our site?
Answer: The "Votes" system is a mechanism that allows registered users of our site to vote for their favorite MMO servers or projects. The more votes a server has, the higher it will be in the ranking after servers with paid points.

2. How often can I vote for my favorite project?
Answer: You can vote for the same project or server once a day. This means that after you vote, your next vote for this or another project will be available only after 24 hours.

3. Do I need to register on the site to vote?
Answer: Yes, you need to be a registered user to vote. This helps us ensure fairness and transparency in the voting process and prevents multiple voting.

3.1. What should I do if I see the message: "We support fair voting | Disable Proxy/VPN" when voting?

This message means that the anti-cheat protection has been triggered. The system has detected that the IP address from which you are trying to vote is a proxy or VPN, or is currently being used as a proxy or VPN.

What to do in this situation:

Disable proxy or VPN
Reconnect to the internet
Try voting from another device
Use incognito mode in your browser
Try voting from a mobile phone

These measures are in place to limit vote manipulation and ensure fair voting.

4. How often is the server rating based on votes updated?
Answer: The server rating based on votes is updated every hour. This means that when you vote for a specific server, your vote adds +1 to its overall project rating. However, please note that on the site, this vote will be displayed after an hour. At the same time, on the main page of the site, the rating is updated in real-time, showing the current position of the servers.

5. What happens to the rating at the end of the month?
Answer: It is important to know that on the first day of each month, from 00:00 to 01:00 local time, all votes are reset. This means that all servers and projects on the site will have a score of 0 votes, and the rating will start forming anew from the beginning of the month. This system ensures equal conditions for all servers and gives new projects a chance to shine.

6. How can I ensure my vote is counted?
Answer: To monitor your votes, you can check them at any time in the "Votes" section of your account. Simply go to the "My Votes" section in your personal account. If your vote is listed, it guarantees that it has been counted and sent for review to the administration of your chosen server. Note: our system updates the vote list every hour.

7. From which countries and IPs are the servers monitored?
Answer: The availability of the server site, as well as the servers themselves, is checked by the service check-host.net, and there may also be additional verification by the userAgent "BestGames_bot".

How to attract attention to your server for free?

To attract attention to your game project and increase its popularity, it is important to follow these recommendations for adding the project to the rating:

Project name: Choose a meaningful name that gives players an idea of your project.
- Good example: "BestGames L2 Classic x1 - Start Bonuses!" - indicates the game (L2), version ("Classic"), rate ("x1"), and attracts attention ("Bonuses").
- Bad example: "BestGames.to x100" - unclear description and type of project, not very informative.
Project description: Describe your project in English and Russian, provide detailed information. The more information you provide, the more likely you are to attract players.
Social media links: Provide links to social media, as players often look for information there and may not want to register on the site.
Project screenshots: Upload 3 to 13 screenshots to the site. Projects with interesting and high-quality screenshots attract more attention.
Link to promo trailer on YouTube: A video about the project significantly increases interest and helps attract an audience faster.
Adding the server: After registration, add the server to your project, allowing players to vote for your project and increase its popularity.
Project reviews: Encourage players to leave reviews and vote for your project to boost its rating and attractiveness.

Following these instructions will help you attract players and increase the popularity of the project without significant investments and costs.
