Voting has been a core part of the RSPS community for more than a decade. Almost every server encourages players to vote daily, and toplists use those votes to determine which servers appear at the top of the rankings. But many players and even new server owners don’t fully understand how RSPS voting works or why it matters so much. This guide explains the full system in simple terms.
What RSPS voting actually is
Voting is a way for players to support their favourite servers by boosting their visibility on community ranking platforms. Each vote counts as a signal of activity and popularity, helping new players discover servers that are actively played and trusted.
Servers with more votes naturally rise on the RSPS ranking page, getting more traffic and attracting more players. This creates a feedback loop: more votes → more visibility → more players → more votes.
How the voting process works
Although every toplist uses its own system, the general process is the same:
- The player clicks a “Vote” button on the server’s website.
- They are redirected to a ranking page with a vote confirmation form.
- The vote is recorded and added to the server’s total.
To prevent abuse, ranking platforms usually limit players to one vote per 12 or 24 hours.
Why servers reward players for voting
Most RSPS incentivize voting by offering in-game rewards such as:
- vote points
- mystery boxes
- cosmetic items
- bonus experience
- weekly or monthly raffles
These rewards help servers maintain consistent ranking positions and keep the community engaged. When a server offers fair and balanced rewards for voting, players are far more likely to do it daily.
Why voting matters for server owners
From a server owner’s perspective, voting is one of the most important parts of growth. Here’s why:
- Organic visibility: appearing higher in rankings attracts new players without paid advertising.
- Community trust: players tend to choose servers that appear consistently active.
- Long-term stability: steady voting keeps a server relevant even during quieter periods.
- Competitive advantage: top positions often lead to long streaks of player growth.
A strong position on a toplist often has a bigger impact on player count than any promotional campaign.
How toplists prevent vote abuse
To ensure fairness, the RULOCUS toplist uses several verification methods:
- IP-based cooldowns
- browser fingerprinting
- CAPTCHAs to stop automated bots
- session validation and tracking
These measures help keep the rankings fair so that votes reflect real community support.
The impact of voting on new servers
New RSPS projects rely heavily on early votes to gain momentum. In the first days of launch, even a small stream of votes can help a server appear on the radar of interested players. That’s why new projects often appear quickly on the new RSPS listings—they gather early votes, which sparks growth.
How to increase player voting participation
Server owners who want more consistent votes often focus on:
- meaningful rewards that don’t break the economy
- clear instructions on how to vote
- reminders in Discord and in-game
- leaderboards showing top voters
- daily streak rewards for consistent participation
These strategies build habits and make voting feel like a valuable part of gameplay.
Final thoughts
Voting remains one of the most important systems in the RSPS world. It supports servers, fuels community growth and helps players find active and trustworthy projects.
