Updated Oct 30, 2026 · Sword of Justice Operations Team

1. Purpose and Scope

The Sword of Justice operations team is presenting trophies to the 10 Guilds that contributed the most in our first year, at the Đại Yến Sinh Nhật (Anniversary Grand Feast). These rules lay out all the data used, the eligibility conditions, the scoring, and how the ranking is decided.

• Every Guild is scored with the same formula, no exceptions.
• All data is pulled automatically from the system. The operations team does not score anything by hand or adjust any Guild’s points.
• Guilds are identified by their Guild ID. Renaming a Guild or changing its Guild Leader does not affect its results.

2. Data Source

The ranking is based on the in-game Guild Medal Ranking , using all 49 weekly snapshots from Nov 17, 2025 to Oct 19, 2026.

• The ranking is locked at 05:00 every Monday morning (GMT+7). Each snapshot counts as one week. Each week, every server records its top 30 Guilds.
• Ranks are set by the game itself: more gold medals ranks higher; if gold is tied, silver decides; if silver is tied, bronze decides. These rules use those ranks as they are.
• A Guild’s medals come from its members’ results across the week’s game modes.

Two server phases:

Vietnamese members are counted by account in the game’s login data, not by character. One account with several characters still counts as one person.

3. Eligibility Conditions

A Guild must meet all 4 conditions below. Missing even one means the Guild is not ranked, no matter how high its score.

Condition 1 exists because the servers also have players from across Southeast Asia, while this honor is for Guilds of the Vietnamese community. Condition 4 exists because medals are awarded to active Guilds. If most of a Guild’s members have left, its past results no longer represent the Guild as it is today.

An account that switched Guilds several times is only counted for the Guild of its most recent login within the measuring period, so no Guild is counted twice.

4. Step 1: Weekly Points

Each week, a Guild earns points based on its scoring rank that week. The higher the rank, the more points.

Weekly points = (31 − Scoring rank) + Bonus

• Scoring rank: after the server merge, this is the actual rank; before the merge, it is the actual rank multiplied by the server coefficient (section 5). If the scoring rank is above 30.5, or the Guild is not in the top 30, it gets 0 points that week.
• Bonus is based on the scoring rank rounded to the nearest whole number (.5 and above rounds up): rank 1 gets 16 extra points; ranks 2 to 3 get 8 extra points; ranks 4 to 10 get 3 extra points; rank 11 and below get no bonus.

Points table when the scoring rank is a whole number:

The bonus is big at the top to properly reward the effort of taking first place: the gap between rank 1 and rank 2 is 9 points, while the gap between rank 20 and rank 21 is just 1 point.

5. Step 2: Converting Pre-Merge Ranks

During the 37 pre-merge weeks, each server ranked its Guilds separately, with very different player counts. Holding rank 1 on a small server is easier than on a crowded one, so ranks are converted to a common baseline.

Scoring rank = Actual rank × Server coefficient

Server coefficient = (VN accounts logged in on Rising Lotus that month ÷ VN accounts logged in on that server that month)^0.18

• The coefficient multiplies the rank, not the points. A higher scoring rank means fewer weekly points.
• Rising Lotus is the most populated server, so its coefficient is 1. The fewer players a server has, the higher its coefficient.
• The exponent 0.18 keeps the coefficient moderate: a server with 50 times fewer players is only multiplied by about 2. After the merge, Guilds that used to top small servers actually landed around rank 5 to 6 on the combined server, which matches this conversion.
• From Aug 3, 2026, all Guilds compete together, so every Guild uses its actual rank and the coefficient is 1.

Coefficients apply by the month of the snapshot date:

Example: in the week of Nov 17, 2025, a Guild ranked 10th on Ocean Serenade. Its scoring rank is 10 × 1.63 = 16.31, with no bonus since it rounds to rank 16. Its weekly points are 31 − 16.31 = 14.69 points.

6. Step 3: Honor Score

The Honor Score is a Guild’s average score across the whole year, with post-merge weeks weighted more heavily. The 10 eligible Guilds with the highest Honor Scores are honored.

Honor Score = (A + B × 1.5) ÷ 55 × C

• Post-merge weeks are multiplied by 1.5 because all Guilds compete on the same playing field, so the results best reflect current strength.
• The denominator is fixed at 55 for every Guild. Weeks a Guild is absent count as 0 points but still stay in the denominator. A Guild that only flares up for a few weeks cannot overtake one that stays strong all year.
• Coefficient C decreases gradually for Guilds with little post-merge presence, instead of a hard cutoff:

7. When Two Guilds Tie on Honor Score

If two Guilds have the same score (to 2 decimal places), the following are checked in order until the tie is broken:

1. Number of weeks at rank 1 (by rounded scoring rank); more ranks higher.
2. Number of weeks in the top 3.
3. Number of weeks in the top 10.
4. Total gold medals across all 49 weeks.
5. Total silver medals, then total bronze medals.

In the Year 1 results, no two Guilds in the top 10 were tied.

8. Full Calculation Example: ⌂ Quy Gia ⌂

Quy Gia is an example that goes through all 3 steps: the Guild competed on the small server Ocean Serenade, moved to Rising Lotus after the merge, and had 4 weeks in the top 30. Result: 16.06 points, rank 7.

For Guilds with all 12 post-merge weeks, C equals 1. Example HYPER✠Legion: A = 1,474, B = 514, Honor Score = (1,474 + 514 × 1.5) ÷ 55 = 40.82.

9. Results: The 10 Honored Guilds

HYPER✠Legion takes the top spot with 40.82 points. The table below has every number you need to recalculate the scores yourself using the formula in section 6.

A: total points over the 37 pre-merge weeks. B: total points over the 12 post-merge weeks, before multiplying by 1.5. Post-merge weeks: number of weeks in the top 30 from Aug 3, 2026.

10. FAQ

Why doesn’t the Guild with the most medals necessarily come first?
Points are based on rank, not a straight medal count. Before the merge, small servers handed out more medals to their top Guilds, so adding up medals would be unfair to Guilds on crowded servers.

Why multiply by a server coefficient?
Rank 1 on a server with a few thousand players is easier than rank 1 on a server with tens of thousands. The coefficient is calculated from real monthly player counts and applied equally to every Guild on the same server.

Why are post-merge weeks multiplied by 1.5?
After the merge, Guilds compete together, so results are directly comparable and reflect current strength.

My Guild ranks high on the leaderboard, so why isn’t it listed?
The Guild did not meet at least one of the 4 conditions in section 3, usually because it is not a Vietnamese community Guild or has not kept its roster.

If members move to another Guild, do their results go with them?
No. Each week’s results belong to the Guild that held that rank that week.

Is a Guild affected by renaming or changing its Guild Leader?
No. Guilds are identified by their in-game Guild ID.

Are Guilds that got strong later at a disadvantage?
The denominator of 55 is fixed for every Guild, because this honor recognizes a full year of contribution. Guilds that rose later can still make the list thanks to the more heavily weighted 12 post-merge weeks, such as Nhàn Mộng Vô Ưu and Thiên☬Sát.

Is any data adjusted by hand?
No. Ranks come from the game’s own weekly snapshots, member counts come from login data, and everything is calculated exactly by the formula in these rules.

11. General Principles

• These rules apply equally to every Guild. No Guild receives extra points, deductions, or special treatment.
• Data is locked at the milestones stated in these rules. Activity after these milestones does not change the Year 1 results.
• In all cases, the Sword of Justice Operations Team has the final say.
