How the ranking works

Every server is checked every 5 minutes over the Tibia status protocol (the same protocol other lists use) or, if the owner configures it, a JSON status endpoint.

Each day a server earns points = 100 × log10(1 + average real players) × uptime², plus up to 25 points for players who return on at least 3 of the last 7 days, plus up to 20 points from votes.

"Real players" are unique IP addresses when the server reports them, so multi-client farms do not inflate the score. The logarithm means a server with 10× the players earns 100 more points, not 10× more.

Your position is the average of the last 7 days of points (missing days count as zero).

Suspicious numbers — online far above unique players, a perfectly flat or round count, a padded player list — halve the day's points and are shown publicly on the server page. Repeated faking freezes the score at zero until an appeal.

Every server is listed regardless of size. Paid promotion buys a clearly labelled slot and never adds a single point.
