Voting for Aurenfall (and getting paid for it)
Two server lists carry Aurenfall. A vote takes about ten seconds, it is the main way new players find us at all -- and every counted vote pays Conquer Points to your character.
Where to vote
Log in on the website and open Vote (it is also a card in your account panel). There is a button per list:
- Nostalgic.gg -- the classic-MMO list. Counts a vote every 2 hours 10 minutes.
- XtremeTop100 -- the big private-server list. Counts a vote every 12 hours.
Each list has its own clock, so when one is on cooldown the other is usually ready.
What you get
20 Conquer Points per counted vote, up to 4 rewarded votes a day on Nostalgic.gg and 2 on XtremeTop100 -- 120 CPs a day for about two minutes of clicking, and it does not touch anything you farm in game, so it is pure extra.
You may vote more often than that on Nostalgic if you like; past the daily limit it simply stops paying, and it still pushes us up the list, which is the part that brings new players.
The points go to the character on your account. You do not have to be online: vote from a phone at work and the CPs are on your character when you log in.
How the reward finds you
On Nostalgic.gg you type your character name into their form before submitting the vote -- that name is the only thing that tells us who to pay, so type it exactly as it is in game. Get it wrong and the vote still counts for the server's rank, but the points have nowhere to go. (If you start from our Vote page, the field usually arrives pre-filled.) When their site registers the vote it tells us within seconds and the points are paid on their own -- you do not need to come back to the website at all.
XtremeTop100 cannot confirm votes to us for free, so it works on trust: the button sends you off carrying a one-time ticket, and when you come back the button has changed to Collect.
Things worth knowing
- The lists count one vote per network per cooldown. If somebody sharing your connection just voted for the same list, your vote will not count until their cooldown is up -- and an uncounted vote earns nothing here either.
- A vote is never lost to a server restart. If the world happens to be restarting when your vote is confirmed, the reward waits for you: open the Vote page afterwards and collect it.
- Your character must be level 20. Below that the vote still counts for the server's rank, and the reward waits for you: reach level 20 and collect it from the Vote page.
- One reward per household per cooldown. The lists count one vote per network anyway, so a second character in the same house cannot double it -- their vote would not have counted either.
- One account, one reward per list per cooldown. Voting from five browsers does not multiply it.
Why it matters
Server lists rank by votes, and rank is where new players come from. A dozen players voting twice a day moves Aurenfall further up those lists than any advertisement we could buy -- and a busier world is worth more to you than the CPs.
