List your server, then let it be measured
Add your server and it appears immediately, using your declared numbers. Uptime sighting starts at once. Install the module — a signed HTTP report that works the same on every server, whatever the game or version — and your real player count is measured from inside.
- Add your server
- Be measured from inside — the same way on every build
- From dead reckoning to Fixed — four rungs
Step 1 · list it · grants 100 ad credits
Sign in to list a server
Listing ties the server to your account and grants 100 ad credits (five days in a homepage slot). Sign in or create an account, then come back here.
Step 2 · install the module
Be measured from inside — the same way on every build
The module is a signed HTTP POST of your online count, sent every five minutes. There is no protocol to reverse-engineer and no game-specific code — one integration covers every build.
POST https://sextant.gg/api/module/report x-sextant-server: <your server id or slug> x-sextant-timestamp: <unix milliseconds> x-sextant-signature: hex( HMAC-SHA256( "<timestamp>.<body>", <apiSecret> ) ) { "players": 212 }
Good news: the outside measurement — uptime, and the count where the login exposes it — works on ANY Lineage 2 server (L2J, L2OFF, Mobius) with no module, because it speaks the game's login protocol, not a fork's internals. The module is only for FIXED, the count confirmed from inside. For the L2J family (L2J, L2jMobius, L2jUnity, aCis…) drop SextantReporter.java into your datapack and fill two values; L2OFF and anything else use the generic signed reporter (a small cron script). Both are downloads below.
What it earns you
From dead reckoning to Fixed — four rungs
A listing without measurement is dead reckoning — the numbers are yours and the interface says so. When our node can reach your server you become Sighted (uptime measured). When our probe can read your real player count from outside — for Lineage 2 that means letting our probe account log in to your login server — you become Ranged.
The probe logs in like an ordinary player and reads the server list — it never gets access to your files, database or machine. You stay in control of whether it can log in at all.
Fixed, the highest automatic class, needs both: the module reporting from inside and that outside count to cross-check it against. The module alone, with no outside read, leaves you at Sighted — so the probe login is the step most owners miss. The module also unlocks verified reviews from your real, measured players. A position in the rankings is never for sale.
