A WARDOGS round only starts at 20 players. On seedmyserver, communities help each other out: real players, no bots, no money.
Sign in with Steam, so your minutes earn points. Communities book this spot with support credits — earned only by seeding other communities' servers.
While their server is below the start threshold, the community admin starts a seed call.
Push or Discord ping, copy the server ID, join in-game. Just play normally.
Verified servers give points and rank, checked directly on the server, plus queue priority where the owner enables it.
Another game? seedmyserver focuses on WARDOGS for now — ask in our Discord: open a ticket.
seedmyserver is built in the open by players, for players. If you want to help or bring in ideas, you are welcome — no matter how much time you have.
Our Discord is the one place to reach us: open a ticket in #support («Help out / volunteer»), or post a feature idea in #ideas where everyone can vote on it.
seedmyserver is a free platform where gaming communities seed each other's servers. Instead of paying players or using bots, members join a seed call, stay until the round starts and earn points, ranks and queue priority in return.
Many multiplayer games only start a round once a minimum number of players is on the server — WARDOGS needs at least 20. Seeding means players join an empty or low-population server so it reaches that threshold and fills up on its own.
Presence is verified on the game server itself via its query API (through Warcon or the WARDOGS RCON API). You earn 1 point per minute you seed while the call is open — even if you are the only one on the server — from 5 minutes up to 15 per call, plus a bonus when the round starts while you are on. Seeding a registered server without a call still earns half. Cooldowns per server and per day keep it fair.
Right now only WARDOGS: verified presence, points and queue priority. Other games can be requested with a Discord ticket; we add one once communities ask for it.
Every community has a give/take balance. Communities that only receive seeds drop in the call priority — there are no bans and no coercion, just a fair queue. Suspicious loops are visible to the site team.
Through Warcon (warcon.app), a free, open-source RCON panel for WARDOGS — hosted at console.warcon.app or self-hosted. Choose «Warcon panel (API key)» when you add the server and paste an API key with only the «View» capability: your RCON password stays in Warcon, we only get read access to the live player list, and seeders earn full Verified points. You can revoke the key any time. For automatic queue priority, also give the key «Reserved slots» — a narrow right that only lets us manage our own entries on the reserved list. Second choice is the direct RCON API, third the Flare tier without any credentials.
No — we recommend connecting through Warcon with a read-only API key, so your RCON password never leaves your panel. Only if you connect the RCON API directly do we store the password: crediting points needs the player list with Steam IDs, which only Warcon or RCON provide. The password is stored encrypted and only ever used to read the player list and, if you enable it, to manage queue priority. Note that most WARDOGS RCON APIs are plain HTTP — restrict the RCON port to our server IP in your hoster firewall.
Yes, two ways. Recommended: connect through Warcon with a read-only API key — seeders earn full Verified points and your RCON password stays in Warcon. Or use the Flare tier: you only enter your WARDOGS server ID and we read the player count from the public server list on wardogservers.com. Flare calls earn seeders no points, are limited to 2 a day and are only listed on the site, after Verified calls (no Discord post, no push). Switch to Verified any time.
Yes: seedmyserver.com/discord. Every Verified seed call is posted there in #seed-calls as soon as it opens.
Yes. Under «Edit community» paste a webhook of one of your channels and tick what to post: the calls of your own servers, the open seed calls of other communities (network feed, filtered by region, optional role ping, at most 3 per hour), or both. Network cards disappear once the round starts. Communities that share the network for at least 24 hours and received at least one card in the last 7 days win ties in the seed call queue.
Up to 4 communities can form a seed pact and seed each other. A pact call is free, needs no slot and only reaches the partners: their Discord channel (with their ping role) and browser push to their owners, admins and callers — at most 2 pact calls per server a day. Seeders earn the same points as on a seed call, and seeds for partners earn support credits. If the server reaches 5 players before the round starts, the pact call becomes a normal public seed call. Create a pact and invite partners from your dashboard. Every pact also gets a private channel with its own role on the seedmyserver Discord.
On the pact board, seed pacts whose founder community opted in introduce themselves with their member communities, languages, region and figures we calculate from counted seeds (members, active seeders, typical play time). Contact them in #pact-board on our Discord. To join a pact, the owner or an admin of your community needs an invite link from the pact's founder community.
Only through our Discord: open a ticket in #support for help, bug reports, game requests, abuse reports or if you want to help out. Feature ideas go to the #ideas forum, where everyone can vote. There is no contact form on the website.
No. seedmyserver is free for players and server owners and has no paid features. Points and credits cannot be bought. Players earn points for every seed (rank, leaderboard); communities earn support credits only when their members seed other communities' servers, and pay manual seed calls (refunded if nobody earns points), promotions and the home-page Spotlight with them.
Register your server in a community on seedmyserver. While it is below its start threshold, start a seed call: players see it on the Seed calls page, via browser push and in #seed-calls on the seedmyserver Discord, and join until the round starts.
No account needed: open Seed calls, copy a server ID and join in WARDOGS (server browser → Community tab). Want points, ranks and queue priority? Sign in with Steam first — your minutes only count while you are signed in. Optionally link Discord on the Connections page to get @Seeder pings for new calls.
No. seedmyserver uses no bots, no automated clients and no payments: real players join real servers with their own Steam accounts and play. The platform only coordinates who seeds where and keeps the score.
