Sextant is a ranking of private MMO servers built on measurement. Monitoring nodes will reach every listed server twelve times an hour, read the real player count from the game protocol, and publish the gap when a server's claim disagrees.

What happens next

Rankings appear once servers have seven days of history

  1. Every monitoring node gets reverse DNS under sextant.gg and a public entry on the nodes page before it sends its first packet.
  2. The first adapter is Lineage 2. Sightings land twelve times an hour for every listed server: online state, player count, latency.
  3. After seven days of sightings the first rankings render here, each server carrying its position class and the age of its last measurement.
