Player help

How to use rankplay.ru: find servers, Steam login, voting, and spending points.

Related pages: server owner help, about the project.

Catalog and server page

On the home page and in per-game sections you see server lists with filters and landing pages (when enabled). Open a server card — description, server owner news, a forum link when enabled, contacts, status, and other data from monitoring.

The per-game Top page leads to that game’s server ranking.
Each server has an address like /servers/{id} — share it with friends.

Steam sign-in

help_players.steam_p1_beforehelp_players.login_link_texthelp_players.steam_p1_after_login

Donation payments (when enabled) are separate and do not replace Steam login for voting.

Favorites

After signing in you can favorite a server from its page. The favorites list works like bookmarks for projects you follow.

Voting and points

Each server page has a voting form. You earn points on that server only — they do not move automatically to others.

You can vote again for the same server at most once every 20 hours (platform staff may change this).
Rate limits and antifraud apply; on flaky mobile networks try again later or another network.

Point shop and donations

A server page may offer two different flows:

Vote shop items — spend points earned on that server. Delivery is often automated on the game server (e.g. RCON); the server owner sees queue status in the panel.
Paid donations — separate prices in rubles (or other currency) via the connected provider. This is not the same as vote points.

Check product names and terms on the server page. Legal aspects are covered in the terms of use and privacy policy.

Server forum

If the server owner enables the forum, a “Forum” block appears on the server page. Anyone can read topics and posts; creating topics and replying requires Steam sign-in unless you are banned on that server’s forum. Moderation (edit/delete any posts, pin, lock, bans) is done by the attached game server’s team.

Automation is limited to public read-only JSON catalog endpoints (server search and per-game lists) — see the API section in the project README.
Server-specific issues (rules, refunds, bans) go to that server’s staff — rankplay.ru provides monitoring and tools.
