Thanks for participating in the ENWorld "experience points" system.

Each poster has a limited number of XP they can award to other posters per day.

As someone gets XP, they level up over time with enough XP. XP ranges currently unknown.

To give XP you click on this icon in the name section of a post. It can be found directly between the online indicator and the report post buttons.

Several members are already level 3 something, but I don't recall exactly who.

You may also disable the XP system in your profile. Sorry, I don't exactly know where that is.

When you get XP you will get a notification where the PM notices come just under the login section of the screen.
.........

Its just another forum ranking system, but a cute one based on the RPG genre.

There might be hacks for it to have some game attached other than ranking, but I am not very well versed on vBeulltin hacks and mods.

It means that nobody likes us very much. You can vote up a person's post by clicking on the balance scales in the lower left corner of a person's post. I was going to do that once, but then I had to leave a comment justifying my vote. I cracked under the pressure and abandoned my effort.

Give me Experience! When I attain GODHOOD I promise everyone Wish Spell fulfillment I addition to Wish/Miracle fulfillment, once I receive enough experience for Godhood, I promise all 20's on all your die rolls (even 4-siders), I will make all your gear Epic, and I will surround you with hot chainmail bikini-wearing women who will service your every need.

I even promise Demi-Godhood to my top supporters in this noble endeavor.

In eager anticipation of my Ultimate Ascension, you have my humble thanks...

It means we all tap to deal 1 damage to target creature or player, but don't untap during our upkeep. However if anyone goes to the graveyard, we all untap.

What I find even more interesting is that there is at least one poster with a tiny red box. The popup says something like 'can only hope to improve'. Is there a way to lose xp?!
