Overview

l2nx.top is a Lineage 2 server rating and opening calendar. Players vote for projects there, and you can reward them for it: every vote can carry your own player identifier and is delivered back to you.

Projects and servers

A project is your whole game server brand: one site, one slug (https://l2nx.top/{tenantSlug}), one or more game servers. Voting is per project. A vote may name one of your servers, but it always counts for the project.

Votes are accepted only while the project is listed on l2nx.top. A closed or hidden project, or a server that is not listed, cannot receive votes.

How a vote works

1. You send the player to your vote link: https://l2nx.top/{tenantSlug}/vote, usually with a ref that identifies the player on your side.
2. The player passes a Cloudflare Turnstile check and votes. Players do not need an account on l2nx.top.
3. The vote is recorded with your ref returned exactly as you sent it, and delivered to you:
   • pushed to your endpoint as the vote.created webhook, and
   • available in the vote feed of the Integration API under your API key.
4. You match ref to the player and grant the reward.

Note

l2nx.top does not interpret ref. It does not know your players and cannot check that the voter is the player the ref points to. Decide on your side which votes earn a reward.

Cooldown

One vote per project every 24 hours from the same voter. A voter is matched by:

• network address: the IPv4 address, or the /64 network for IPv6;
• browser: a long-lived cookie set by l2nx.top.

A vote is rejected if a vote for the same project was cast in the last 24 hours from the same address or from the same browser. The server chosen in the vote does not matter: one vote per project, not per server. The vote page shows the player when the next vote becomes available.

Cooldowns are independent between projects: voting for another project does not affect yours.

Caution

Players behind one public address (shared flat, internet café, mobile carrier NAT) share one cooldown. Do not promise rewards to every account a person owns.

Rating

The l2nx.top rating is curated by published principles, not a raw vote count:

• votes on l2nx.top in the current calendar month (UTC);
• the project’s presence and position on other Lineage 2 top sites;
• recent and upcoming server openings.

Weights are not published, and vote counts and scores are not shown to anyone. The rating is recalculated every hour and the monthly vote count starts over at the beginning of each UTC month. An extra vote never counts against a project.

Paid placements are shown in a separate block marked as sponsored. They buy visibility, not position: a promoted project keeps its honest place in the rating.

Only you see your votes: the vote feed returns the votes of the project the API key belongs to.
