Ranking reset and reward handout

On the day rankings are reset, all ranking information is reset between 04:00 and 05:00 UTC+9(4 AM to 5 AM Korean time), and rewards are sent to users via mail.

  • As the ranking reset process is sequentially executed for all projects that exist in BACKND, rankings are not reset immediately at 04:00 UTC+9 but any time between 04:00 and 05:00 UTC+9.
  • When rankings are reset, the data of the column used for rankings can be reset to 0.(You can set this in the console.)
  • Columns specified as additional fields cannot be reset.

    If the column data is set to reset to 0 when rankings are reset, DB usage may occur for the number of users who have participated in the rankings.

Daily/weekly/monthly ranking

Ranking is reset every day/every Monday/1st of every month at the time of reset.

  • As soon as the ranking is reset, the ranking rewards are sent to users via mail.
  • Ranking information is deleted as soon as the rankings are reset and is not stored separately.

Accumulative ranking

In the case of indefinite ranking, the ranks are not reset and rewards cannot be handed out.

One-time ranking

In the case of one-time ranking, the ranking resets at the same time when the ranking operation period ends.

  • As soon as the ranking is reset, the ranking rewards are sent out to users via mail.
  • Ranking information is stored on the server and is retained for one day after the reset. The data is deleted after one day has passed from the time of reset.

Remove users from rankings

You can remove users/guilds from the rankings via the BACKND Console > Ranking menu.
Ranked users will not be removed from the rankings unless the rankings are reset or they are manually removed.

Even if a specific user gets banned, withdraws from the game, or their guild is disbanded, the user/guild will not be removed from the rankings.
