Voting for HWS helps the community grow, and **you get daily rewards** for it: **HWS DNA** and **Credits**. The more often you vote in a month, the bigger each reward gets.

👉 [HWS Connect → Dashboard → Vote](https://connect.empyrion-homeworld.net/re/vote) (NA players: `/rn/vote`)

> # ⚠ ATTENTION: the third-party voting website has no Epic Games support. Only Steam users can vote.

## 🗳 How to Vote and Claim

1. **Sign in** to HWS Connect with **Steam** and select the server you play on
2. Open **Dashboard → Vote**
3. Click **Vote for HWS+ RE EU** (or RE NA) and finish the vote on [empyrion-servers.com](http://empyrion-servers.com) in the new tab
4. Go back to HWS Connect. The page checks your vote every 15 seconds (or click **I voted — check again** ) and **claims your reward automatically** as soon as your vote is detected. You can also click **Claim your reward now!**
5. “Vote reward claimed.” The reward arrives in game right away, or the next time you are online on that server

You can also vote directly on the vote site:

- [HWS+ RE EU vote page](https://empyrion-servers.com/server/44894/vote/)
- [HWS+ RE NA vote page](https://empyrion-servers.com/server/53280/vote/)

## 💎 Rewards

| Reward | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| HWS DNA | 1 HWS DNA × the number of your votes this month |
| Credits | 7,000 credits × the number of your votes this month, paid into your [Elemental Bank](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/elemental-bank-eb-market-zone/4395) |

- The system is **cumulative** : your 1st vote of the month gives 1 DNA + 7,000 credits, your 10th vote 10 DNA + 70,000 credits, and so on.
- Your vote count **resets on the 1st of each month**.
- If you vote every day of a 30-day month you earn up to **465 HWS DNA and 3,255,000 credits** per server.

* * *

## ⏰ Rules

- You can claim **once per vote day**. A new vote day starts at **06:00 Berlin time**. The page shows a countdown to your next vote.
- If you vote again before 06:00, your vote counts, but the reward waits until 06:00.
- You **don’t need to be online in game** to claim. If you are offline, the reward is delivered the next time you are online **on that server**.
- Only **HWS+ RE EU** and **HWS+ RE NA** have a vote listing.
- Votes belong to one server. Vote and claim on the server where your character plays.
- During a **Cross Server War** the servers share a vote pool. Vote for the server you actually play on, or the reward lands on the wrong character.
- Make sure to redeem each reward promptly. **Rewards don’t stack.**

## ❓ Common Messages

- **“You must vote first!”** : the vote site hasn’t registered your vote yet. Wait a moment, then click **I voted — check again**.
- **“Your next vote reward unlocks at 06:00 (Berlin time).”**: you already claimed for today, or voted early.
- **“This server has no vote listing, so there is nothing to vote for here.”** : switch the server selector to the server you play on.
- **“The vote site could not be reached.”** : [empyrion-servers.com](http://empyrion-servers.com) didn’t answer. Try again later.
- **Reward didn’t arrive?** It is delivered the next time you are online on that server. The credits go to your Elemental Bank, not your inventory.
