Markdown for Server Descriptions: A Quick Guide

A clear server description helps players quickly understand what makes your realm worth trying. You can use basic Markdown to organise the text and add emphasis. Write Markdown as plain text; do not use HTML. HTML is escaped for safety and will not act as page markup. The full description has a 10,000-character limit.

Basic formatting

  • Bold text: put two asterisks around the words, like **Double EXP weekend**.
  • Italic text: put one asterisk around the words, like *New players welcome*.
  • Headings: start a section with ##, for example ## Events and progression. Use headings to break a long description into readable parts.
  • Lists: start each item with a hyphen. For example:
    • Custom quests
    • Weekly PvP events
    • Active support team
  • Links: use [words to click](https://your-real-link.example). Replace the example address with your actual website, Discord invite, or other destination.
  • Code: put one backtick around a short technical value, such as `Patch 5065`. For several lines, use three backticks before and after the block:
Patch: 5065
Launch: Saturday at 18:00 UTC

A few tips

Keep important details near the top, use short sections and lists, and make sure your links are correct. Preview your description before saving. Stay within 10,000 characters. If you have typed HTML markup, replace it with the Markdown equivalent instead.
