🚀 New Persistent Ranking System – Beta Test Tonight
We’re rolling out a brand new ranking system on L!VE tonight, and it’s a big upgrade from the old setup.
This system works more like modern games such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Apex — your progress persists over time, not just per map.
📈 How It Works
Ranks go from 0 → 100
You earn points by playing and scoring across matches
Your progress is saved on the server
So for example:
👉 If you hit Rank 10 on Wednesday, you’ll still be Rank 10 when you come back on Friday.
As you climb higher, ranking up becomes progressively harder, so higher ranks will actually mean something. Reaching Rank 100 should take weeks or even months.
🧠 Behind the Scenes
When you connect:
Your GUID (CDKEY) is logged
Your name is stored
You are assigned a unique Ranking ID
Each time you join or a new map loads:
The server matches you to your saved data
Your rank, points, and name are restored
🎮 New Commands
/rank
→ Shows your current rank, total points, and how many points you need for the next level
/ranktop
→ Displays the Top 100 players on the server
⚠️ Anti-Abuse System (Important)
To keep things fair, there are protections in place:
Duplicate CDKEY Protection
If multiple players are using the same CDKEY at the same time:
The ranking system is temporarily disabled
You’ll see a message showing who is sharing your CDKEY
No points or ranks will be counted
IP Check
Only one active ranking session per IP
Prevents boosting or farming ranks unfairly
🔧 Fixing CDKEY Issues
If you are sharing a CDKEY:
The system will alert you and admins
You’ll need to replace it with your own unique CDKEY
Once you’ve done that, admins can use a new command to:
👉 Transfer your existing rank + points to your new CDKEY
👉 So you don’t lose your progress
🧪 Beta Testing
This is a live beta test, so while most scenarios have been accounted for, real player testing is key.
We’ll be watching closely and making adjustments as needed.
💬 Final Thoughts
This should be a massive improvement to progression and give players something meaningful to work towards over time.
Jump on tonight, try it out, and let’s see how it performs in the wild 👊
