I dont like it...I used to like being a platinum member now it goes back to ruby?
This only benefits those with 10000+ post counts for the rest of us its just more posting to get back to platinum...

Looks ugly, quite pointless doing this, most people liked having platinum but wan't something higher to reach (a rank aboce platinum) but doing this just makes it feel like we've gone backwards in the ranks just like you stated.

why didn't you just change ruby member with sapphire, and remove ruby? :D

The only problem I have is that they must of changed the features you get for ranking up although thinking over it now, was there really a need to change the ranks? If anything something above Platinum which is at like 20,000 posts with a snazzy name that ISN'T to do with a precious material would of been cool. Something made up and Habbox like :P

06-10-2008, 03:12 PM
Hmmm, there's no way you could edit the usergroups to keep it realistic, without puting some stones forward than others, which kinda destroys the whole "precious stone/materials" theme :P Only way to really do it would be to either get rid of either Sapphire, Ruby or Emerald to free up space so members can be where they were (afterall, the norm for ranking changes is that they either stay put or go up a tiny bit, not backwards) and to make it realistic when it comes to adding stars. The other option would be to heavily edit anything pre-sapphire so that new members have more usergroups to go through while us oldies can still be where we were, although platinum is the only material that makes sense, unless someone with a creative mind comes up with a new usergroup to come after platinum which isn't a material, something to do with power, legendary status etc (obviously not to say you have lots of power etc :P)

I think get rid of it, if loads of people hate it that much. I don't even like it, and I can't remember if I ever had that! :P

The idea behind this rating update seems to be "post, because YOU enjoy it," judging by the way the update thread says "This will keep you occupied" etc etc. It was fine before hand, it just needed something to expand it a little, not alot like it seems to of done, especially when it's effected member features like avatars and PMs. Updates are meant to not effect members in that way, they're either meant to keep members where they are or upgrade them a little. Going backwards wasn't what people had in mind :P

Nope, people asked for a rank above Platinum as a few members had already reached 10k posts, no one wanted some new stupidly high requirements to reach the rank they previously was at ;).
I don't see anyone reaching 40k posts any time soon, will take atleast another 4 or 5 years with alot of posting.

That would be a mess though, platinum looks better than green :/ The concept was good, but they implemented it wrong, by forcing people to lose parts of their features and having the majority of the forum having to work towards their old rank, which they shouldn't be.

It's not just about the stars, it's the fact that some of us have lost alot of features which we shouldn't of, like PM storage. Loads of members may possibly be breaking the rules with avatar sizes too.

07-10-2008, 05:51 AM
The point behind this update was to create a system where we don't, as you say, have to keep adding new ranks and new ranks. This usersystem will stay in place for years, if not more.

The usersystem is designer to reward all members, but to provide the best rewards to the top members. Platinum membership is supposed to be something very difficult to achieve. Bear in mind - platinum members almost share the features of VIPs. They have the same avatar and profile picture size, they can both go invisible, same sized signature. The VIP pays the money for a colored name, name changes, user titles, seeing who repped you and 15 rep a month as well as other side features like the VIP Lounge and closing your own threads. So if you're going to get a lot of the features for VIP then we want to give it to loyal members.

At this point, I realize this is not quite attainable. But this system is geared towards the future. In 2005 I doubt people would expect multiple users to be over 10,000 posts. Actually I know that's true because having a few thousand posts was really something, golly gee. And of course nobody would stay around long enough to make that many posts! Hey wait a minute...

As time goes on people will achieve the rank. Not many people will, and not everyone is supposed to. When you consider it, ANY rank in the promotion system is better than what a normal user got prior to the system. However to have the top rank as easily accessible defeats the purpose of the rank system.

We were asked to implement new ranks to make the goals of the system higher. However features had to go down as we were not going to simply increase the maximums allowed so we could tack on another UG, 150x150 and 700x300 will most probably remain the top sizes for a long time. I say most probably because I can't say that for certain. But regardless, to add in a new rank the features of all the others had to go down.

People are complaining that they lost features, well yes and I know that its a little annoying, but the reason we are doing this now is to prevent from doing it repeatedly in the future. Like I said, you can expect this to hold constant for at least two years, probably closer to four, if not more. Thus our aim was forward-reaching. If you're really that bothered about the color of the stars under your name, buy VIP, though I really don't think it matters that much the color of the stars under your name. Also, when you look at it, members lost, at maximum, about 20x20 off of their avatar for those who dropped from platinum to ruby. Members lost about 50 PMs (I believe...) however you really don't lose that much, yes you may keep 250-300 PMs, but that's just because you're too lazy to delete it (I'm coming up on my 10,000th PM as I really couldn't be assed to delete them but I have to eventually, I however do need to keep my PMs as often I need to keep things from previous days/months for reference, and downloading them to a CSS file wouldn't make sense. Ok, being the GM I get *some* perks, but honestly I don't think the average member wil suffer immensely from the loss of 50 PMs. I understand its annoying but that's why we're trying to do this right, once.

As far as Ruby and Sapphire go, I actually don't think it would be a big deal to simply switch them. However, to do so, the forum would have to submit unconditionally to my Pokemon interpretation of userranks, and for our purposes we will consider bronze a mixture of Red, Blue, and Yellow (when you mix enough colors together you get brown anyway :eusa_whis). But yeah the Ruby and Sapphire versions were the same release, so technically they're interchangeable, but the emerald is like second tier if you know what I mean. Here, I'll try and explain.

[Center]Generation 1 (Johto?)
Red and Blue
Yellow

Generation 2 (Kanto?)
Gold and Silver
Crystal

Generation 3 (Idkto?)
Ruby and Sapphire
Emerald

Generation 4 (Stilldkto?)
Pearl and Diamond (future userranks if we ever need em tbh)
Platinum[/Quote]

So yeah, basically I am cool.


EDIT: As far as avatar rulebreaking goes, we will obviously be lenient for a little bit for people to get adjusted, we may go down the list of ruby sapphire emerald and platinum members to see individually.

I guess the reason a lot of us want Ruby and Sapphire to be switched around is because Ruby has been around for ages and lot of people have already passed that rank and don't want to have to go through it all again.

Why cant you just listen to evryone...not alot of people like this new update. Make a poll and I predict that around 3/4 of members will agree that its not a good update

A lot of people will have to change their avatars, profile pictures and signatures because the limits have changed (see here (http://www.habboxforum.com/faq.php?faq=new_faq_item1#faq_new_faq_item_userpos tranks)). Members have also lost PM space and anyone who was using the invisible setting as a platinum member before can no longer do so.

We shouldnt of gone down in ranks at all, we should of had ranks AFTER the platinmun, not before.
As long as you don't lose features, I don't think the name matters much. The only problem here is it seems general management have forgotten how hard it is to even get to 5000 posts let alone 20,000.



A lot of people will have to change their avatars, profile pictures and signatures because the limits have changed (see here (http://www.habboxforum.com/faq.php?faq=new_faq_item1#faq_new_faq_item_userpos tranks)). Members have also lost PM space and anyone who was using the invisible setting as a platinum member before can no longer do so.

Yeah I noticed that. I pmed nvrspk4 about it - it clearly hasn't been thought out fully.

The main thing that annoyed me after the new changes were implimented is that I noticed that myself and a fair few other members will have to go through the rank of Ruby all over again which just seems pretty pointless. Surely, since Sapphire is a new colour and rank, that should take Ruby's place then no-one has to repeat a rank.

As long as the new ruby offers something new then it's fine, not ideal though but we will survive I am sure ;).

;5170259']Yes but thats nearly double that, we are tallking more then 10 years to reach that for the avrage poster like me.
Why cant you just listen to evryone...not alot of people like this new update. Make a poll and I predict that around 3/4 of members will agree that its not a good update
Why is managment so convinced that thier ideas are right for the forum and never listen to the members.
Dont really see the point in having forum feedback.

You may have liked having platinum but clearly you will not have it anymore ;) :D


Hmm, if it's true people lost features because of the ranking expansion then that clearly needs sorting out. People shouldn't be losing any features because of this change, instead able to gain more by going up ranks especially for those who were at 5 platinum stars and gaining nothing out of posting more.


It is true. I lost FIFTY PM's coz of it, but we lose other stuff :(

Yeh that will be good if we could still keep our features and lowered the posts a bit. Im glad to see you understand.
Thankyou
Dj-dominator, it wasent that much about having platinum, i wasent even aware that you had extra features for being platinum lol. I was just saying that it is extremly hard to achive the post counts they have set. And it was a bit unfair that we had to achive a rank which we had alredy achived again.

Basically... Mad is right.

All users should be the same as they were before, but then Platinum should practically BE VIP.

Hmmm, good point. That means they are focusing on making sure this current system works for 4 or so more years... That won't work :/

4years, 11people have over 10k posts(say they all had 10k posts), to reach 36k posts would take around about 16years? thus meaning it would take even longer for other people to get it.

Because you're meant to update the rating system as you go along, not plan ahead as that shows lazyness, and causes issues along the way :P And as Wootzeh said, it'll take years for people to reach that, it's a level not many will reach when you want them to reach it, otherwise, what was the point in updating it :P
