The Star System

02/19/2010 22:27 S.A.L.O.M.O.N.#1
Hey e*pvp Community! After I've already been asked by about 50 users today I'll explain the meaning of the new stars-system to you in an all-encompassing statement. ;)

Okay, here's the very brief explanation:

It's a rating system to show you how much your account is currently "worth".

So from here I'll go in more detail on the whole thing.

There's a whole load of different colors and the system is not yet at the point where we'd like it to be. At the end it should give you a more or less comprehensive picture of the user.

The stars are (until now) calculated by the following values:

Quote:
* Postcount
* elite*gold Count
* Bought Elitegold
* Thx Count
* Register Date
* Infractions (=> Less Points)
Of course I'll have to say that the points are not calculated equaly by those values (black market and iTrader ratings will affect the calculation in soon). ;)

Here's the order of the 'values' of the stars:

I hope you like the system as much as I do. :)

Please don't be too surprised if your stars go crazy the next few days, we are currently adjusting the whole system. Please contact us if you think something might be wrong.

02/19/2010 22:53 Noxian#4

Yeah it counts to much.

Thanks and posts should have a more important role.

I think its probably because of your join date.

nice
:D

I like this idea a lot ^^
It's kind of like reputation of the user, before we used post/thanks/iTrader and such, but now we have this to do it for us XD. Well when it's balances out.
Thanks for the system.

In my opinion the date joined shouldn't have much effect because I see people with a join date of 2005 and they have around 50 posts and 2 thanks yet theres people like me who joined late 2009 and have way more thanks and posts than them.

EDIT:
Here's a suggestion:
Code:
* Postcount
* elite*gold Count
* Bought Elitegold
* Thx Count
* Register Date
* Infractions (=> Less Points)
[B]* Rank[/B]
Points for being Guardian,Moderator,Global,Admin, etc.

02/20/2010 06:14 zAPHIRE#13

02/20/2010 06:24 andyd123#14
