Player site ​

Player site (Community group) controls how your community's website looks to players: colours, logo, banner, text, which sections exist, the website address and whether you are listed in the RustyThrones directory. Needs the site.manage permission (Admin); domains need site.domains (Admin).

Players then see the result at your community website. What each section contains is described in the Player guide.

AddressDetail
Your site address<your-address>.<platform domain>, with a Copy button. Free, and available now: for example my-clan.rustythrones.com.
Custom domainsYour own domain such as play.yourclan.com. Up to 2. A Pro-plan feature ("Pro" tag and See plans otherwise).

Add a custom domain ​

Full step-by-step guide, with where to click at OVH, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap and others: Use your own domain. In short:

  1. Type the host and click Add domain.
  2. Create the records the panel shows: a TXT record (proves ownership) and either a CNAME to sites.rustythrones.com (subdomain like play.yourclan.com) or A records to the shown IPs (root domain like yourclan.com, which cannot use a CNAME). On Cloudflare set it to DNS only.
  3. Click Check now. Statuses: Pending, Verified, not pointing at RustyThrones yet (ownership OK, CNAME/A missing or wrong), Verified, Failing. Once verified and pointing, HTTPS is issued automatically on the first visit.

A verified domain is re-checked daily (TXT and where it points); if the TXT fails for 7 days it becomes unverified. A domain can belong to one community only; up to 2 per community. The trash icon removes it.

Sign-in on a custom domain uses a one-time hand-off so players stay signed in there.

Pages (Home and About) ​

The Pages card edits the text of your site's Home and About pages. Until you change something it shows the default text (your tagline and description for Home and About); the first change makes the page yours, Reset to default goes back.

PageWhat you can edit
HomeTagline, introduction, feature cards (icon, title, text, optional link to Servers, Store, Leaderboard, Quests, Maps or your Discord; up to 8), call-to-action title and text
AboutTitle, subtitle, your story, cards (up to 8), highlights list (up to 10), server rules (up to 20), closing line

Empty lists are hidden on the site. Start from the standard cards / rules fills a list with ready-made text to adapt. Cards linking to a section you switched off are hidden. Save with the page's Save button like the rest of the Player site settings.
