Global Ranking System

Players establish their own squads, so no, I don't think some total stranger could come in and just take over because he spends more time playing.

Just a question but could you make your mod so that only "Reality" servers report to a specific ranking system server?

A "Pure" Reality ranking server that hosts stats and such? Do you know any of the net code so far? How is this set up. This interests me and I would love to set up a dedicated server or webpage that tracks all the Mods players and stats. This would be a fun project if possible.

from what i can gather so far...only official servers will track ranks...exactly the same as in AA...

I guess the rest of the servers have to settle down with something like AAO tracker http://www.aaotracker.com

It was in one of the interview, n no, i can't be bothered trying to find it, I guess their thinking is that the player with more rank is going to be better experienced, but that isn't nessicarily right, and even if he is, he might not be a good leader. So yeh, I agree it's a stupid idea, but I think u'll find it has been implemented.

u START a squad, then others can come and join it, and if someone of higher rank joins, and opts to take command of the squad, he takes squad leader position. Yes, it's stupid, n yes, hopefully PR can change it, but it might also be a server option to turn that sought of thing off, hoepfully it will be.

my whole point of the post is that:

Has anyone played AA...? if yes..then i don't think that any of you will be happy to stay with honor 10..and play in non honor servers for ever...everyone is going for honor servers...most of public-private-non honors are empty....

therefore...BF2 is heading similar way...therefore...they gonna kill the private server section...having the monopoly in one company..making shed loads of money...

for example..they might say, like nova did with JO, that jolt will be able only to host official servers that track honor...and we all know how expensive Jolt is...

which is absolutely ****, we need to find a way to setup our own rank tracking servers.
