Unlike single-game sites, we bring together communities from multiple survival and sandbox games into one easy-to-use platform.</p><h2>How It Works</h2><p>Server owners can list their servers for free. Players can browse, vote for their favorites, and discover new communities. Each game has its own dedicated section with tailored filters and tags.</p><h2>Supported Games</h2><p>We currently support Rust, ARK: Survival Evolved, DayZ, and Valheim, with more games coming soon.</p>]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2026 19:57:41 +0000</pubDate><author>ServerCharts Team</author></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Server Voting Works on ServerCharts]]></title><link>https://server-charts.com/news/how-server-voting-works</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://server-charts.com/news/how-server-voting-works</guid><description><![CDATA[Learn how the ServerCharts voting system works, including vote limits, per-game voting, and how votes help server rankings.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Voting Basics</h2><p>Every registered user can vote for their favorite servers. Votes help servers climb the rankings and gain visibility.</p><h2>Per-Game Limits</h2><p>You get 2 votes per day per game. This means you can vote for 2 Rust servers, 2 ARK servers, 2 DayZ servers, and 2 Valheim servers all in the same day.</p><h2>Daily Reset</h2><p>Votes reset at midnight UTC each day. Make sure to use your votes before they expire!</p><h2>Rankings</h2><p>Servers are ranked by total vote count by default, but you can also sort by player count, newest, or alphabetically.</p>]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2026 19:57:41 +0000</pubDate><author>ServerCharts Team</author></item><item><title><![CDATA[Top 5 Tips for Finding the Perfect Rust Server]]></title><link>https://server-charts.com/news/top-5-tips-finding-perfect-rust-server</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://server-charts.com/news/top-5-tips-finding-perfect-rust-server</guid><description><![CDATA[Tired of joining Rust servers that die after a week? Here are our top tips for finding a server that matches your playstyle and keeps you coming back.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>1. Check the Wipe Schedule</h2><p>Different servers wipe at different intervals. Monthly wipes suit builders, while weekly wipes favor PvP-focused players.</p><h2>2. Look at Player Count History</h2><p>A server that maintains 100+ players throughout the wipe is more likely to survive than one that peaks at 200 but drops to 10 within days.</p><h2>3. Read the Rules</h2><p>Make sure the server rules align with your playstyle. Some servers ban raiding during certain hours, while others are full anarchy.</p><h2>4. Check Admin Activity</h2><p>Active admins mean fewer hackers and a better experience overall.</p><h2>5. Join the Discord</h2><p>A healthy Discord community is the best indicator of a thriving server.</p>]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Sat, 21 Feb 2026 19:57:41 +0000</pubDate><author>ServerCharts Team</author></item><item><title><![CDATA[ARK Server Guide: Boosted vs Vanilla - Which Is Right for You?]]></title><link>https://server-charts.com/news/ark-boosted-vs-vanilla-guide</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://server-charts.com/news/ark-boosted-vs-vanilla-guide</guid><description><![CDATA[Choosing between vanilla and boosted ARK servers can dramatically change your gameplay experience. We break down the pros and cons of each.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Vanilla Servers</h2><p>Vanilla ARK servers use official rates. Taming takes hours, breeding takes days, and resources are scarce. This is the authentic ARK experience but demands significant time investment.</p><h2>Boosted Servers</h2><p>Boosted servers multiply gather rates, taming speed, and breeding times. Popular multipliers range from 5x to 25x. Great for players with limited time who still want to experience endgame content.</p><h2>Our Recommendation</h2><p>If you can play 4+ hours daily, vanilla offers the most rewarding progression. Otherwise, a moderately boosted (5-10x) server gives the best balance.</p>]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2026 19:57:41 +0000</pubDate><author>ServerCharts Team</author></item><item><title><![CDATA[DayZ Modded Servers: The Best Mods to Look For]]></title><link>https://server-charts.com/news/dayz-best-mods-modded-servers</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://server-charts.com/news/dayz-best-mods-modded-servers</guid><description><![CDATA[The DayZ modding community has transformed the game.

Look for servers with active player counts and recent votes.</p><h2>What to Expect</h2><p>Valheim servers typically support 2-10 players. The game is designed for co-op PvE, so most servers focus on collaborative play rather than PvP.</p><h2>Popular Mods</h2><p>Valheim Plus is the most popular mod, adding quality-of-life improvements like shared map exploration, advanced building controls, and stamina adjustments.</p>]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Sat, 14 Feb 2026 19:57:41 +0000</pubDate><author>ServerCharts Team</author></item></channel></rss>
