FAQ
Quick answers about how HΞXHQ works, where the data comes from and what happens with your account.
About HΞXHQ
What is HΞXHQ?
A fan site for players: rankings, State Ruler matchups and live battles, a prediction game, tools, videos and articles. It starts with Last Z: Survival Shooter and will cover other games of the same kind over time. It is run by HEX, an active player.
Is it official?
No. HΞXHQ is a fan-made site. It is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or sponsored by the developers or publishers of the games featured in it. Game names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Is it free?
Yes. Everything on the site is free to use. If you want to support the project, there is a "Buy me a coffee" link at the bottom of every page.
What does Early Access mean?
HΞXHQ is free and works, but it is still being built. Features and rewards can change, and data can contain errors that we fix as they are found. Donations are voluntary and don't buy perks, so nothing paid can stop being delivered.

Where does the data come from?
From the information the game itself shows to any player. We take screenshots of those in-game screens and interpret them carefully, in a light and respectful way that does not disrupt the game or load its servers. We do not access game servers, player accounts or anything private.
How often is it updated?
Rankings are refreshed as new captures come in, and each one shows the date of the data it uses. During State Ruler, the live battle board updates every few seconds to minutes.
Why isn't my server or group listed?
We can't follow every server group yet. You can help by sharing screenshots from your group so it can be added.
How to contributeWhat if I find a wrong number?
Let us know. Tell us where you saw it and what the right value should be, and we will review it.
Send feedbackState Ruler & predictions
How do predictions and Intel Points work?
Before each State Ruler battle locks, you pick the winner of each matchup and how it ends (invasion or defense). Correct picks earn Intel Points, and the best predictors appear on the leaderboard. The full rules are on the How it works page.
How it worksWhy do I need an account?
Without one you can read rankings, State Ruler, guides and the blog; what the community posts is only visible to members. With a free account you can predict each matchup and earn Intel Points, see the server stats, comment and share videos with the community. Predictions are only for members.
Account & privacy
Why are some parts only visible to members?
Your privacy first. HΞXHQ is free and open to read: rankings, State Ruler, guides, tools, news and the blog are available to everyone. What the community builds is different: comments, profiles, avatars, predictions, contributions and each member's activity are only visible to other signed in members. That is how we look after the people who take part: people without an account can't see what members post. Game data is different: rankings, server profiles and stats show players' in-game names, alliances and stats as the game shows them (never their profile pictures), and anyone can see them. Without an account you can see how many comments and reactions each post has and a sample of HΞX TV. Creating an account is free and opens everything else.
What is visible on my profile?
You choose. In My profile you decide whether to show your name, bio, avatar, activity, State Ruler results and contact details. Anything you hide is not shown to other members.
What do you do with my data?
We only use it to run the site: your account, your predictions, comments and preferences. We don't sell it. The Privacy page explains it in detail.
Read the Privacy policyI'm worried about my privacy. Where do I start?
We put together a short page: what we do with your data, tips to protect it, and private email services.
Privacy tipsHow do I create a private room?
In four simple steps. 1. Join the HΞXHQ Discord server (it is free). 2. Open the #general chat. 3. Type /room in the message box and pick it from the list. 4. Follow the bot: it checks your requirements and walks you through it. To keep a room, boost the server, or link your hexhq.blog account and reach VIP 5.
See the step by stepCan HEX read the conversations in private rooms on Discord?
No. The HΞXHQ Discord server is run by a service account, not HEX's personal account, with the help of automated and AI agents. What gets posted in the server's channels (Shorts, codes, the race, the news) also comes from automated processes. On Discord, HEX is just another member: no admin privileges. Like any player, HEX can have a room with their own group, but has no access to anyone else's room. The bot that creates the rooms doesn't read their messages. AutoMod, Discord's automatic filter, checks every room, and a team member only enters a room if there is a report or a safety problem.
Why doesn't the bot pin my room's welcome message?
Because the bot cannot read your room, on purpose. Discord only lets someone pin a message if they can read the channel history, and we took that permission away from the bot in every private room so your conversations stay yours. The bot posts your welcome message and you pin it yourself: right click the message (long press on mobile) and choose Pin Message.
Can I open my private room to the whole server?
Yes, if you own it. Type /room and tap Make public (read only). Everyone in the HΞXHQ Discord server can then see your room, read its chat and guides and see who is in the voice, while only your room's people write, react and talk. Public rooms appear under Members public rooms, and their content belongs to their owners. To undo it, tap Make private again the same way. Each change is recorded with who made it and when.
How do I let people ask to join my room?
Turn on join requests: type /room and tap Join requests: off (only the owner can). From then on, people can ask with /room and the request action, or with a right click (Apps) on your name or on a message in your room when it is public. You and your moderators get one direct message that groups the new requests, with each person's @username, when their account was created and when they joined the server, and you approve or decline there or with the Requests button in /room. Nobody joins without that OK. Requests expire after 7 days, and after a decline the same person waits 7 days to ask again.
What about hexhq.blog? Can HEX see my private data?
On the site, HEX is an admin: HEX publishes content and develops the platform. The admin panel never shows your email. For moderation, it shows only what's needed: your display name and the ones you used before, your public comments, your level and your sanctions (if you have any). Technical access to the database is used only for maintenance and security. We are moving hexhq.blog to the same setup as Discord: run by a service account with automated and AI agents, with HEX only as content editor and developer.
What happens with the player cards I upload?
We store the screenshots (converted to WebP, without metadata, in private storage only HΞXHQ can access), the values read from them and the ones you confirmed, the server, the date and your account. By default other signed in members see the values with the upload date; turn the switch off and only you see the card. Visitors without an account never see them. You can change who sees each card or remove it in My profile, Account.
Read the Privacy policyWhat do the AI agents do?
They are tools that work for HEX, not in HEX's place. Every piece of HΞXHQ content (Shorts, rankings, the race to 1G, announcements and site improvements) starts from an idea of HEX's. The agents help carry it out: they gather and verify the data, prepare drafts and automate repetitive tasks. HEX reviews every result closely, refines it and decides what gets published and what doesn't. Nothing goes out without HEX's approval, except automated notices about data already published on the site, and the agents never act on their own on your account or your data. We don't send your data to external artificial intelligence services. The avatar photos you upload are first checked by an AI model that runs on our own computers: it approves only the ones that are clearly safe, a person reviews the rest, and only a person can reject a photo.
