Editorial Policy & Ranking Rules (MU Online)
This page explains how we rank MU Online servers on MU Top 100. For technical details, see our Methodology.
Bonus votes: Shown as “Bonus”. Counted only on lists that include bonus. Not part of Organic rank.
How ranking works
- Organic Rank: Based only on real-user votes after integrity checks and monthly resets.
- Total lists: Some pages show Total (Organic + Bonus). These include clearly labeled Bonus votes and can differ from Organic.
- Fairness: We do not sell Organic Rank. Paid features do not change Organic order.
- Integrity: We filter suspicious activity and may remove invalid votes. See Integrity.
Gold (Premium) explained
- What you get: Extra visibility (banners, highlights) and up to 400 Bonus votes per calendar month.
- Where it counts: Bonus is included only on lists that say Total (Organic + Bonus). It is not added to Organic Rank.
- Can it change position? Yes, on lists that include bonus your server can appear higher or lower compared to Organic.
- No guarantees: We do not guarantee rankings, traffic, or votes. Results vary by player interest.
- Clear labels: We label “Votes (Organic)” and show a small “Bonus +X” pill where applicable.
Simple example
- Organic list: Server A = 1,000 organic. Server B = 900 organic. Result: A ranks above B.
- Total list: A = 1,000 + 0 bonus = 1,000. B = 900 + 400 bonus = 1300. Result: B appears above A on Total.
- Takeaway: Organic and Total can differ. Labels make it clear which is which.
