Legacy Rank

[ChibiGoose]

Vip is for Very Important People, players in the top 10 haven't contributed anything meaningful to the community. And friend rank was for retired mods who contributed to the server.

I've seen people get friend for other reasons, and I think someone who has played on the server that long and has got that far should be considered a friend of the server.

This is, actually, one of the reasons the friend rank was removed. Mainly because there were no specific boundaries toward who received it and it was somewhat unorganized. Also, to be a "friend of staff" you must be on good terms with the administration, and a few of these top players have had a rocky history with staff, or most just have a neutral opinion.

True, it would probably be better if those players get a Legacy rank, but I don't think giving them nothing is a good idea xD

Unfortunately the ranking structure for our ranks prevents us from adding any more ranks frivolously. It's not a matter of, "Hey, just slap a new rank on the pile and it's done!" Minecraft's ranking system is a lot more screwy than that, and limits us in a lot of ways. If we were to add any other new rank, we'd need to redo the entire network to make sure the rank properly integrates and functions with the system (and debugging is a serious pain). I am honestly surprised that Quantum managed to work as well as it did; thankfully that was a Premium rank whose perks were primarily outside the game.

So from a development standpoint, it's not worth it for us to do, especially if there are opportunities for alternative options out there. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Well here's the thing. I'd say maybe about 3 or 4 (More or less) people in the top 100 don't play anymore. So that's not fair to #'s 101-105

So...you don't have to play a lot to get a lot of wins?
Not sure that makes much sense...

I don't mean games played, but the time you were here. Sorry for the confusion

Get rid of diamond donor, and theres your rank. You could rename it, and call it the legacy rank for all players rank 159 and under.

 

[Aldxelm]
