The community points system was implemented as a way to reward players who are consistently active within the community.
Think of it as an out-of-game scoring system which is used to earn higher status and gain levels.

To help gauge how active you (and others) have been in the community, refer to the community levels2 below:

In the course of testing and retesting the game, our team has played hundreds of games. I know for us, reaching the mark of playing a 100 games was a nice achievement. I know because we all celebrated that special 100th game moment!!! Now it's your turn: Reach a mark of 100 games played during the beta service and we'll hook you up with the following rewards: * A Special badge to show off to the GONG! community * A Special ingame item, (to be determined) * Recognition on the website It's a lot of effort. Think you have what it takes? Edit: You will recieve your rewards upon commercial launch. Sorry for the confusion! Thanks!! |
