Each category below holds 26 lists at the moment. Every list ranks servers by the players online when you load it, refreshed every five minutes; nothing on this page is paid for, and if a placement is ever sold it will be marked sponsored. The three busiest servers shown under a list name are a live snapshot, not a fixed podium.

Use the gather-rate lists for pace, from 2x through 10x; the group-size lists for team limits; the regional lists for timezone; the mode lists for vanilla, modded, PvE, roleplay, build and others. For the complete spread, scan the browser or see what wiped today.

Questions

Q01Where does each server list get its order?

The order follows live player counts from Steam's public server list, read every five minutes. No votes, reviews or payments change a position. If a slot is ever sold it will be labelled sponsored and kept out of the ranking.

Q02How many servers are counted in these lists?

The figure changes with the data and is shown live on this page; 26 is the current total for this hub. Each list page carries its own total in the header. New servers appear as soon as Steam reports them.

Q03Can the same server appear on different lists?

Yes, if it fits more than one rule. A 2x EU server with a trio limit belongs on the 2x, EU and trio lists. Each list is built separately from live settings, tags and names, so overlap is expected.

Q04Should I join the three busiest servers shown here?

They are the busiest at the moment you load the page, not a recommendation. A high count means competition as well as activity. Check the wipe timer and group limit on the server page before you connect, because a quieter server can suit you better.
