Greetings once again, Skylords, Skyladies and other Skyfolk!
First off, thank you all so much for showing up to the major announcement stream hosted today! We couldn't be more grateful for all your support over the years. For those of you who haven't been able to see it, here's a brief recap and a very important announcement:
You can re-watch the stream to catch up over here! We have released a huge update to live servers! This includes the following: 12-player maps are now a thing! We finally got them to work. 2vs2 Ranked is now also a thing! Lots of QoL changes to the Auction House, like refresh rates, setting up multiple auctions at once, and 48h auctions. The ability to play cards from the marketplace in the forge without actually owning them New faction boosters that will help increase your odds for cards of a faction that you like! All 2-color and pure factions now have their own separate boosters costing respectively 475 and 500 BFP. New BFP system that replaces the 30m free booster quest. This system will allow you to earn BFP over time rather than hitting a wall after 30m of play, and will allow those with jobs or less time on their hands to catch up on others in order to give them a chance at auctioning and partaking in the economy. For more details on the BFP system and how it works, check out its most recent thread here. BFP and quests that are missed can be stored up to 3 days (6 quests max, 550 BFP stored max, 100 per day.) Numerous fixes and improvements Please check out this thread for all the details and full patch notes!  We're going to get a brand new updater in the near future, which gives easy access to things such as server selection, the map editor, social links, and much more! Check it out on-stream! PvP players rejoice! We're planning to introduce several pre-built decks to PvP that will be level 120, fully upgraded and charged to get the full PvP experience of being on the same level as your opponents. In the meantime, you can use your rewards earned through PvP to collect and build other decks or refine your current one. These decks cannot be used in PvE. And last, but certainly not least, we are proud to announce the following: We have finally progressed far enough to announce a release time!
Skylords Reborn 1.0 will be released in Q4 2020! Along with one and only reset.
That's October, November or December, depending on how well we progress and how many bugs and difficulties we still encounter. We are confident we can actually get this done in time, after many years of holding back on release dates. 
Recently, our developers @fiki574, @Aviat0r, but most notably @Ladadoos and @Zyna, have done massive work towards the project, as you can see, and thanks to them we have come very far throughout the past few months despite losing a great help to the project, Kubik. We've made a lot of progress too on design decisions thanks to @MephistoRoss and @Ultrakool and of course we wouldn't be anywhere without your support, be it through helping us by reporting bugs, by supporting us on Patreon, or just for sticking along this long!
Please enjoy the fresh new patch that we released on live servers today, and keep up the positivity! We're ever closer to that sweet gold status and to that final reset, and we're insanely grateful to have come this far. We'll keep you updated on all of our developments through the forums, discord, and also our new Trello! Here you can follow the latest developments, future plans, and our roadmap to 1.0!
https://trello.com/b/vvpUdT3b/skylords-reborn-roadmap-to-release-2020-q4
That covers it all for now! For some more information you can refer to the Q&A that we did on-stream! 
Stay frosty, stay healthy, stay undead, and stay burning, guardians of Nyn! See you in the forge!

That's October, November or December, depending on how well we progress and how many bugs and difficulties we still encounter. We are confident we can actually get this done in time, after many years of holding back on release dates. 
Recently, our developers @fiki574, @Aviat0r, but most notably @Ladadoos and @Zyna, have done massive work towards the project, as you can see, and thanks to them we have come very far throughout the past few months despite losing a great help to the project, Kubik. We've made a lot of progress too on design decisions thanks to @MephistoRoss and @Ultrakool and of course we wouldn't be anywhere without your support, be it through helping us by reporting bugs, by supporting us on Patreon, or just for sticking along this long!
Please enjoy the fresh new patch that we released on live servers today, and keep up the positivity! We're ever closer to that sweet gold status and to that final reset, and we're insanely grateful to have come this far. We'll keep you updated on all of our developments through the forums, discord, and also our new Trello! Here you can follow the latest developments, future plans, and our roadmap to 1.0!

That covers it all for now! For some more information you can refer to the Q&A that we did on-stream! 
Stay frosty, stay healthy, stay undead, and stay burning, guardians of Nyn! See you in the forge!

Greetings once again, Skylords, Skyladies and other Skyfolk!
First off, thank you all so much for showing up to the major announcement stream hosted today! We couldn't be more grateful for all your support over the years. For those of you who haven't been able to see it, here's a brief recap and a very important announcement:
You can re-watch the stream to catch up over here! We have released a huge update to live servers! This includes the following: 12-player maps are now a thing! We finally got them to work. 2vs2 Ranked is now also a thing! Lots of QoL changes to the Auction House, like refresh rates, setting up multiple auctions at once, and 48h auctions. The ability to play cards from the marketplace in the forge without actually owning them New faction boosters that will help increase your odds for cards of a faction that you like! All 2-color and pure factions now have their own separate boosters costing respectively 475 and 500 BFP. New BFP system that replaces the 30m free booster quest. This system will allow you to earn BFP over time rather than hitting a wall after 30m of play, and will allow those with jobs or less time on their hands to catch up on others in order to give them a chance at auctioning and partaking in the economy. For more details on the BFP system and how it works, check out its most recent thread here. BFP and quests that are missed can be stored up to 3 days (6 quests max, 550 BFP stored max, 100 per day.) Numerous fixes and improvements Please check out this thread for all the details and full patch notes!  We're going to get a brand new updater in the near future, which gives easy access to things such as server selection, the map editor, social links, and much more! Check it out on-stream! PvP players rejoice! We're planning to introduce several pre-built decks to PvP that will be level 120, fully upgraded and charged to get the full PvP experience of being on the same level as your opponents. In the meantime, you can use your rewards earned through PvP to collect and build other decks or refine your current one. These decks cannot be used in PvE. And last, but certainly not least, we are proud to announce the following: We have finally progressed far enough to announce a release time!

Greetings Skylords, Skyladies and Skyfolks,

After five years of development Skylords Reborn has finally hit full release, we want to thank every single one of you for joining and supporting us on our journey. This topic will provide you with all the information, details, and answers you need.
How can I play this game?
You can find instructions for downloading and installing the game here.

How do I log in to the game?
First, you need to create an account on this forum, here. Afterwards you can simply login with the same account in the game. A game account will automatically be created and linked to your forum account. Do not make multiple accounts for yourself. You are allowed to play with your family/friends in the same house.

What is Skylords Reborn?
Skylords Reborn is a project which started off as a 2-man team working on allowing the community to play BattleForge again. BattleForge was a Real-Time Strategy Collectible Card PC game (not a MOBA) made by EA Phenomic in 2009 that got closed down on October 31 2013, disappointing many players. The ever-growing Skylords Reborn team has been working hard to make BattleForge playable and accessible for its still large community and new players once more! You can read more about our project on our wiki.

Can I upload content of Skylords Reborn?
Yes. You are allowed to make Youtube and Twitch videos and streams of Skylords Reborn.

Will I be able to use my old account?
No. As we are not EA we do not have access to your old accounts and never will, so you will have to create a new one and start from scratch. We know this is annoying but there is no way for us to retrieve account information. At least you can play the game again!

What is the difference between Skylords Reborn and old BattleForge?
Everything from the original game works but there has been a number of changes. (see list below)
Cards
Balance changes and new cards Economy
Free to Play (no payments for game progression) Daily time based BFP rewards Daily PvP and PvE quests (Resets daily at 10:00 UTC) Seasonal & Lifetime Achievements Faction Boosters Removal of Tokens. Gold is now used instead and is untradable. Removal of Elements of Conversion/Creation. PvP
Free PvP deck rotations Official Tournaments (BFP rewards) Spectator versions for all 1vs1 maps PvE
All campaign maps available again (including 12 player maps) New high-quality community maps And many other quality of life improvements.
Can I buy/sell BFP for real money?
Absolutely not! People who are noted to sell or attempt to buy BFP or any in-game content with real money may be banned from playing the game at all, or have their accounts reset. We take no responsibility whatsoever in any lost money or in-game content. We don't sell BFP for a very good reason as this project is allowed to exist due to the fact that we are making zero profit or income from the game, which would be using someone else's ideas and content for claiming money. If you buy or sell in-game content, you are essentially doing the same thing and this could put both you as well as the entire project at risk of being shut down.

How can I earn Gold and Upgrades?
Since tokens have been removed from the game entirely, you will earn gold instead through playing Randomly Generated PvE, Sparring PvP, and disenchanting upgrades found in Campaign PvE maps. The upgrade drops have been changed, and you can find the new loot list in this topic.

How can I obtain promos?
You can get promos as an extremely rare reward in boosters, or during special events that we will host.

I found a bug! What now? How do I report a bug?
Please refer to the "Report A Bug" forum, and particularly this topic.

I have seen someone cheat, flame, or severely break the rules. Where do I report this?
You can right-click on a player to report them in-game. You can also report this behaviour directly to the Moderation Team (Global Moderators) on the forums or discord. Please refer to the Ticket Tool thread here when reporting on discord.

Is the game only available in English?
The game can be played in all languages that were previously available. This includes English, German, French and Russian. However, we are mostly focusing our project and any announcements around the English language.

Have you asked EA for help with the project? Do you work for EA?
No, we do not work for EA and we sincerely doubt EA is interested in the funding of the project nor rebooting the game. We do not expect any help from EA. We have, however, been given permission to alter the existing client and make this project a reality until further notice is provided. Former BF staff are likely under NDA as well, disallowing them to help us in the first place.

If this project is completely non-profit, how will you keep the servers up?
We have created a patreon page here. Any donated money will be spent on server upkeep, development and a lot will be saved up for future server upkeep. No money whatsoever will go into our own pockets. You can make a one time payment and then unsubscribe from us or you can pick to pay every month. Please note all Patrons will not gain any benefits in game.

Where is the server located?
The server is located in Germany.

Will you distribute the server files for private hosting?
No. The project is closed source, which means that the files (code) are not public.

I have another question!
Alright, that's cool! Before you continue, however, please use the forum's search function to find any threads that may have your question in it. If your question really isn't answered yet, feel free to create a thread.
That's all! We hope you enjoy your time in the world of Nyn and help the game and its community grow together! As always, We're hugely grateful for all your support, and we wouldn't be here without you all. Keep up the good spirits, you're all fantastic beings. See you in the forge, and may the forge be with you!

Hail, Skylords, Skyladies, and other Skyfolk,
A while back, we implemented the Reserve System for BattleForge Points (BFP) onto the test server to figure out the effects of a new way to earn BFP to replace the daily playtime quest. It's a system that's designed to keep providing BFP even after your daily quests, while also helping those who don't have as much time on their hands or require breaks to be able to catch up on the more hardcore, long-session player base so that every player can build their decks faster and playtime will have more meaning again.
To catch up on the Reserve System, have a look in the announcement thread made back when we introduced it over here.
Since we implemented it, there's been a lot of community feedback and internal discussion about the system, how it works, what effects it has and how we can improve it. We figured that the original system parameters would not give a lot of players the chance to make good use out of the reserve system, and those with a lot of time would be able to earn vast amounts of BFP without seeing much of a slowdown. Additionally, this system would require players to play every day in order to keep up with the BFP flow, putting a lot of pressure on them, which is not the intention of this earning system.
Some people put a lot of research into the current system. Thanks a lot for that! Your feedback has been most valuable. For the upcoming changes, some important concerns were addressed in the system, keeping in mind to not change too much too drastically at the same time. In other words, any more drastic suggestions have been noted, and may still be considered for the future if necessary.
Without further ado, here's the changes that will be live now on the test server. Want to test these changes before we try them out on the live production server? Head over to our Discord (#dev-updates-test-server) to download the test server launcher.
The TL;DR Version: BFP Reserves & Quests
Decreased the maximum amount of time to earn daily rewards from 90 to 45 minutes, increasing the effectiveness of the daily boost. Increased the Refill Rate Constant (C) from 5 to 25, meaning the maximum amount of BFP that can be earned on a day is significantly lowered, thus preventing players with less time on their hands from falling behind as much. Increased the Drain Rate Constant (X) from 3 to 7, meaning you will earn a lot more BFP per minute once the reserve system kicks in. 60% of any leftover/missed Daily Boost (out of 250 per day) will carry over to the next time you play, up to a maximum of 300 BFP stored. This means up to 2 full days can be missed while still carrying over 60% of missed BFP. Added a maximum match time to prevent system abuse and farmbotting. Added a 100BFP discount to your next booster purchased that only gets activated once your daily boost has been depleted.  Increased the maximum amount of quests that can be active at a time from 3 to 6. You will still get 2 quests per day and can save up to 3 days worth of quests. None of these changes are set in stone; we will be able to tweak values and change features where needed! Further QoL Updates
Decreased the minimum PvE/PvP rank to apply upgrades to cards to lv. 1, 4, and 5 for U1, 2 and 3 respectively. Upgrade Player Level requirements are now universal regardless of card rarity. Changed upgrade player level requirements to be the highest level ever earned rather than current level (affects PvP only) (planned, not yet implemented on test) Decreased the rPvE level quest requirement from 6 to 5. The quest description still states 6, but will complete on level 5 as well. Achievements, quests and possibly gold tweaks are in the pipeline for pre-reset internal discussion in the near future. Look forward to new, faction-based boosters coming your way very soon! In-Depth: BFP Reserves & Quests
When making changes to the BFP system, it's important to incorporate feedback into an existing system to tweak and optimise it for the player. The current system was pretty well-received so far, but had its initial flaws. Way too much BFP could be earned on a day, the gap between casual and hardcore wasn't fixed, and extremely long play sessions provided some unwanted results. There's also been the major concern about the system itself, where the current essence of the 30-minute quest was to have the reliability to earn at least a booster per day, and while that would mean it would be the only reward to be earned alongside some quest BFP, it was also something fun to be anticipated. With these concerns in mind, we made the following changes:
The Daily Boost will now be earned in 45 minutes of game time. 90 minutes simply turned out to be too long considering average match length and the amount of time players would like to spend on a daily basis. With the Reserve system, earning BFP beyond the current daily limit is possible and that will help motivate the long-session players a bit more instead.
The Refill Rate Constant has been increased dramatically. This will actively enforce a more manageable BFP softcap than before. Where extremely long playtimes could previously have helped to give 1.5K+ BFP per day, this has now been lowered to a more comfortable 800 BFP total. This total is based on 250 BFP from Daily Boost, 150 BFP from 2 Quests per day, and a theoretical 24hr Playtime Rewards Non-Stop of 400BFP. For short-session players or those who have just dipped their toes in the Reserve system, not a lot will change. Only very long-term sessions and matches will see a difference, which means that more casual players have a better chance and an easier time catching up in BFP, bringing everything in a way better and more controlled proportion.
The Drain Rate Constant has been increased significantly. To compensate for the lower maximum amount of BFP earnable through reserves, as well as to simply give everyone a better and faster BFP-earning experience, payouts will be a lot higher on full reserves. The curve is a lot steeper, and long sessions will get to lower BFP payouts a bit quicker than before, but should still be able to get a neat amount of BFP for their time. This should resolve the concerns that arose about the reserve system netting very little BFP compared to the daily bonus.
To prevent AFK/Botting abuse giving unfair advantages or ruining games, a maximum match time has been set for BFP payouts. Normal players should typically not notice much of this.
Carry-over mechanic: It's okay to miss a day! One of the most prominent suggestions has been to somehow make up for any missed days by either making the reserve system span across multiple days, to pay out more during weekends, or to catch up otherwise. This makes a lot of sense, and so we're implementing a carry-over system: Quests can now stack up to 6 and you can carry over your daily boost throughout multiple days. You can even carry over a bit of the remainder of an existing boost in case you can't play the full daily hour.
60% of the remainder of a daily boost is now carried over to the next time you play, meaning you can save up to 150 BFP each day to add up to your next daily boost. Up to 300 BFP can be saved at a time, and saved BFP drains along with the normal daily boost when you come back, so you will be able to gain up to 550 BFP in an hour of playtime on the day you come back. We feel like 3 days is a good guideline to stick to when it comes to casual compensation, and so up to 3 days worth of quests and dailies can be stored. Of course, playing every day will still give out more BFP, but this system should put less pressure on the more casual or busy player and help to compensate for work, breaks, or other times where they may be unavailable. 
The Daily Booster Replacement. In order to give people more freedom to use their daily reward, we have previously decided to hand out BFP instead of a booster each day. However, with the amount of BFP earned not being as high (due to it being distributed across a reserve system), the "booster-a-day" system didn't apply anymore and could feel way less rewarding than intended. To mitigate this problem, we will give a 100BFP discount on the next booster you buy every single day after completing your daily bonus time. This discount will apply to the current booster and upcoming booster types. Therefore, you will now be able to buy a booster after completing your daily playtime and daily quests (and have 50BFP left over before reserves kick in). You can give that booster a go and perhaps get that Ultra Rare at a discounted rate, or you can freely spend your BFP in trades or the Auction Hall. The choice is yours!
In-Depth: Further News
We have also made a few minor quality-of-life changes currently only the test server to make the game a little more forgiving for certain players. In particular, the PvP-heavy new player experience will be a lot more bearable due to us dramatically lowering the level requirement for upgrading your cards. In order to buy/apply upgrades, whereas formerly you would need to get to relatively high PvP or PvE ranks, we have now unified and lowered the requirements to level 1 for upgrade 1 (soldier/watcher), level 4 for upgrade 2 (warrior/keeper), and level 5 for upgrade 3 (aggressor/tactician) respectively of either rank. This goes for all cards of all rarities, so UR cards won't require a ridiculous rank anymore for those who don't wish to grind PvE. Additionally, it is planned that the rank requirement applies to the highest rank attained; if you drop in rank due to PvP degradation, you will still be able to upgrade your cards as if you were your highest level. PvP-centered players should experience a significantly smoother deck building rate this way, and are less restricted in their early days.
Due to some newcomers finding rPvE level 6 a little to harsh to start off with, we have reduced the rPvE quest requirement to level 5 instead. We believe level 5 should be achievable even with starter decks without upgrades. Must this still give you trouble, you can now stack your quest up for longer until you manage to beat level 5, or you have the choice to re-roll if it's not your day for it and still need some amount of payout.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, it is worth mentioning that we do try to take into account as much feedback as we can in these decisions. Perhaps your idea did not get implemented, perhaps you disagree with the changes. Please do know that we still appreciate your feedback and would love to continue hearing your suggestions and feelings about the state of the game and its updates, and do be aware that while features suggested may not always be implemented, they are still being considered and accounted for where possible and viable; existing feedback on the BFP system, for example, will still be considered for the future, and won't be void after this update.
We're making lots of progress on the design side of the project and are able to tweak and implement the features necessary to keep progressing at a very steady pace. The reset is getting ever closer, and we've got more game updates coming your way in the near future. Next up: expanding the booster market! New booster types will be coming your way very soon to add some variety to the store and allow you to be less dependent on the RNG that a regular booster would offer, and tailor your rewards more to your needs! Further down the road are achievements, quests, perhaps some gold tweaks and more, so stay tuned for more of that in the near future, and we would love to hear your suggestions and feedback in the meantime! 
None of these changes are necessarily final, and we will keep reiterating to keep improving Skylords Reborn!
This update is currently live on our test server, so feel free to enjoy and test the heck out of it there. It will stay on the test server until we determine that the system is stable enough and there are no major flaws or bugs present to push to the main live server. To enter the test server, head over to our Discord (#dev-updates-test-server) to download the test server launcher.
Stay tuned, stay safe, and stay divine, guardians of Nyn!

Yes, this is intended behaviour. When looking at the way we're rewarding people, we need to take the following consequences into account:
Having no cap will have players with more time on their hands absolutely dominate the economy, game and progression. We want to avoid this. Having a hard cap and linear gain will be completely fair, but will make people stop once they hit their limit Having a soft cap will make the BFP gain less over time and may demotivate players anyway once their BFP rate for the day isn't worth it anymore On top of that, we want to close the gap between constantly playing players by giving players who have work or can't play as much a bit of leeway to catch up to others. This is what causes the whole "refilling nets more BFP" scenario and is completely intentional. The reserve system is specifically designed to be an alteration to a softcap that accounts for lost time. This means that yes, based on playtime, those taking breaks get more BFP for their in-game time. However, in real time, those playing continuously will be able to gain more. It's important that, in order to earn the same amount of BFP (based on 1.5h sessions, 3h breaks, 280BFP) someone who would take breaks would have to take hours longer in real time than continuous players. This difference in time racks up fast, and sure, you can just do other things in the meantime, but to forcibly optimise this is quite tedious and a lot of grinding/minmaxing for frankly not a huge difference in BFP earned. If you were to "abuse" this system, you would have to willingly quit and wait every single time you play a game, which we assume few people will do. There are much more benefits to having players catch up and feeling more rewarded in that regard than there are drawbacks to the system not being perfectly linear and fair. We'd rather have some people optimise the hell out of this if they enjoy that than to give out too much market control too quickly, widen the gap or have zero reason to continue as opposed to "less". Compensation always comes at a cost; it's about whether the benefits outweigh it, and I consider that they do. So yes, this is intended, nonlinear and should be reasonably balanced to feel not as limiting to regular players and more empowering to those whom the system's intended for.

Hey, thanks and welcome! 
I know a Portuguese BF player, he was quite well-known back in the days... He's TouchiHakafu, but he's quite absent recently. Maybe he'll get on here too!

Hail, Skylords, Skyladies, and other Skyfolk,
A while back, we implemented the Reserve System for BattleForge Points (BFP) onto the test server to figure out the effects of a new way to earn BFP to replace the daily playtime quest. It's a system that's designed to keep providing BFP even after your daily quests, while also helping those who don't have as much time on their hands or require breaks to be able to catch up on the more hardcore, long-session player base so that every player can build their decks faster and playtime will have more meaning again.
To catch up on the Reserve System, have a look in the announcement thread made back when we introduced it over here.
Since we implemented it, there's been a lot of community feedback and internal discussion about the system, how it works, what effects it has and how we can improve it. We figured that the original system parameters would not give a lot of players the chance to make good use out of the reserve system, and those with a lot of time would be able to earn vast amounts of BFP without seeing much of a slowdown. Additionally, this system would require players to play every day in order to keep up with the BFP flow, putting a lot of pressure on them, which is not the intention of this earning system.
Some people put a lot of research into the current system. Thanks a lot for that! Your feedback has been most valuable. For the upcoming changes, some important concerns were addressed in the system, keeping in mind to not change too much too drastically at the same time. In other words, any more drastic suggestions have been noted, and may still be considered for the future if necessary.
Without further ado, here's the changes that will be live now on the test server. Want to test these changes before we try them out on the live production server? Head over to our Discord (#dev-updates-test-server) to download the test server launcher.
The TL;DR Version: BFP Reserves & Quests
Decreased the maximum amount of time to earn daily rewards from 90 to 45 minutes, increasing the effectiveness of the daily boost. Increased the Refill Rate Constant (C) from 5 to 25, meaning the maximum amount of BFP that can be earned on a day is significantly lowered, thus preventing players with less time on their hands from falling behind as much. Increased the Drain Rate Constant (X) from 3 to 7, meaning you will earn a lot more BFP per minute once the reserve system kicks in. 60% of any leftover/missed Daily Boost (out of 250 per day) will carry over to the next time you play, up to a maximum of 300 BFP stored. This means up to 2 full days can be missed while still carrying over 60% of missed BFP. Added a maximum match time to prevent system abuse and farmbotting. Added a 100BFP discount to your next booster purchased that only gets activated once your daily boost has been depleted.  Increased the maximum amount of quests that can be active at a time from 3 to 6. You will still get 2 quests per day and can save up to 3 days worth of quests. None of these changes are set in stone; we will be able to tweak values and change features where needed! Further QoL Updates
Decreased the minimum PvE/PvP rank to apply upgrades to cards to lv. 1, 4, and 5 for U1, 2 and 3 respectively. Upgrade Player Level requirements are now universal regardless of card rarity. Changed upgrade player level requirements to be the highest level ever earned rather than current level (affects PvP only) (planned, not yet implemented on test) Decreased the rPvE level quest requirement from 6 to 5. The quest description still states 6, but will complete on level 5 as well. Achievements, quests and possibly gold tweaks are in the pipeline for pre-reset internal discussion in the near future. Look forward to new, faction-based boosters coming your way very soon! In-Depth: BFP Reserves & Quests
When making changes to the BFP system, it's important to incorporate feedback into an existing system to tweak and optimise it for the player. The current system was pretty well-received so far, but had its initial flaws. Way too much BFP could be earned on a day, the gap between casual and hardcore wasn't fixed, and extremely long play sessions provided some unwanted results. There's also been the major concern about the system itself, where the current essence of the 30-minute quest was to have the reliability to earn at least a booster per day, and while that would mean it would be the only reward to be earned alongside some quest BFP, it was also something fun to be anticipated. With these concerns in mind, we made the following changes:
The Daily Boost will now be earned in 45 minutes of game time. 90 minutes simply turned out to be too long considering average match length and the amount of time players would like to spend on a daily basis. With the Reserve system, earning BFP beyond the current daily limit is possible and that will help motivate the long-session players a bit more instead.
The Refill Rate Constant has been increased dramatically. This will actively enforce a more manageable BFP softcap than before. Where extremely long playtimes could previously have helped to give 1.5K+ BFP per day, this has now been lowered to a more comfortable 800 BFP total. This total is based on 250 BFP from Daily Boost, 150 BFP from 2 Quests per day, and a theoretical 24hr Playtime Rewards Non-Stop of 400BFP. For short-session players or those who have just dipped their toes in the Reserve system, not a lot will change. Only very long-term sessions and matches will see a difference, which means that more casual players have a better chance and an easier time catching up in BFP, bringing everything in a way better and more controlled proportion.
The Drain Rate Constant has been increased significantly. To compensate for the lower maximum amount of BFP earnable through reserves, as well as to simply give everyone a better and faster BFP-earning experience, payouts will be a lot higher on full reserves. The curve is a lot steeper, and long sessions will get to lower BFP payouts a bit quicker than before, but should still be able to get a neat amount of BFP for their time. This should resolve the concerns that arose about the reserve system netting very little BFP compared to the daily bonus.
To prevent AFK/Botting abuse giving unfair advantages or ruining games, a maximum match time has been set for BFP payouts. Normal players should typically not notice much of this.
Carry-over mechanic: It's okay to miss a day! One of the most prominent suggestions has been to somehow make up for any missed days by either making the reserve system span across multiple days, to pay out more during weekends, or to catch up otherwise. This makes a lot of sense, and so we're implementing a carry-over system: Quests can now stack up to 6 and you can carry over your daily boost throughout multiple days. You can even carry over a bit of the remainder of an existing boost in case you can't play the full daily hour.
60% of the remainder of a daily boost is now carried over to the next time you play, meaning you can save up to 150 BFP each day to add up to your next daily boost. Up to 300 BFP can be saved at a time, and saved BFP drains along with the normal daily boost when you come back, so you will be able to gain up to 550 BFP in an hour of playtime on the day you come back. We feel like 3 days is a good guideline to stick to when it comes to casual compensation, and so up to 3 days worth of quests and dailies can be stored. Of course, playing every day will still give out more BFP, but this system should put less pressure on the more casual or busy player and help to compensate for work, breaks, or other times where they may be unavailable. 
The Daily Booster Replacement. In order to give people more freedom to use their daily reward, we have previously decided to hand out BFP instead of a booster each day. However, with the amount of BFP earned not being as high (due to it being distributed across a reserve system), the "booster-a-day" system didn't apply anymore and could feel way less rewarding than intended. To mitigate this problem, we will give a 100BFP discount on the next booster you buy every single day after completing your daily bonus time. This discount will apply to the current booster and upcoming booster types. Therefore, you will now be able to buy a booster after completing your daily playtime and daily quests (and have 50BFP left over before reserves kick in). You can give that booster a go and perhaps get that Ultra Rare at a discounted rate, or you can freely spend your BFP in trades or the Auction Hall. The choice is yours!
In-Depth: Further News
We have also made a few minor quality-of-life changes currently only the test server to make the game a little more forgiving for certain players. In particular, the PvP-heavy new player experience will be a lot more bearable due to us dramatically lowering the level requirement for upgrading your cards. In order to buy/apply upgrades, whereas formerly you would need to get to relatively high PvP or PvE ranks, we have now unified and lowered the requirements to level 1 for upgrade 1 (soldier/watcher), level 4 for upgrade 2 (warrior/keeper), and level 5 for upgrade 3 (aggressor/tactician) respectively of either rank. This goes for all cards of all rarities, so UR cards won't require a ridiculous rank anymore for those who don't wish to grind PvE. Additionally, it is planned that the rank requirement applies to the highest rank attained; if you drop in rank due to PvP degradation, you will still be able to upgrade your cards as if you were your highest level. PvP-centered players should experience a significantly smoother deck building rate this way, and are less restricted in their early days.
Due to some newcomers finding rPvE level 6 a little to harsh to start off with, we have reduced the rPvE quest requirement to level 5 instead. We believe level 5 should be achievable even with starter decks without upgrades. Must this still give you trouble, you can now stack your quest up for longer until you manage to beat level 5, or you have the choice to re-roll if it's not your day for it and still need some amount of payout.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, it is worth mentioning that we do try to take into account as much feedback as we can in these decisions. Perhaps your idea did not get implemented, perhaps you disagree with the changes. Please do know that we still appreciate your feedback and would love to continue hearing your suggestions and feelings about the state of the game and its updates, and do be aware that while features suggested may not always be implemented, they are still being considered and accounted for where possible and viable; existing feedback on the BFP system, for example, will still be considered for the future, and won't be void after this update.
We're making lots of progress on the design side of the project and are able to tweak and implement the features necessary to keep progressing at a very steady pace. The reset is getting ever closer, and we've got more game updates coming your way in the near future. Next up: expanding the booster market! New booster types will be coming your way very soon to add some variety to the store and allow you to be less dependent on the RNG that a regular booster would offer, and tailor your rewards more to your needs! Further down the road are achievements, quests, perhaps some gold tweaks and more, so stay tuned for more of that in the near future, and we would love to hear your suggestions and feedback in the meantime! 
None of these changes are necessarily final, and we will keep reiterating to keep improving Skylords Reborn!
This update is currently live on our test server, so feel free to enjoy and test the heck out of it there. It will stay on the test server until we determine that the system is stable enough and there are no major flaws or bugs present to push to the main live server. To enter the test server, head over to our Discord (#dev-updates-test-server) to download the test server launcher.
Stay tuned, stay safe, and stay divine, guardians of Nyn!

You will still get 2 quests per day and can save up to 3 days worth of quests. None of these changes are set in stone; we will be able to tweak values and change features where needed! Further QoL Updates
Decreased the minimum PvE/PvP rank to apply upgrades to cards to lv. 1, 4, and 5 for U1, 2 and 3 respectively. Upgrade Player Level requirements are now universal regardless of card rarity. Changed upgrade player level requirements to be the highest level ever earned rather than current level (affects PvP only) (planned, not yet implemented on test) Decreased the rPvE level quest requirement from 6 to 5. The quest description still states 6, but will complete on level 5 as well. Achievements, quests and possibly gold tweaks are in the pipeline for pre-reset internal discussion in the near future. Look forward to new, faction-based boosters coming your way very soon! In-Depth: BFP Reserves & Quests
When making changes to the BFP system, it's important to incorporate feedback into an existing system to tweak and optimise it for the player. The current system was pretty well-received so far, but had its initial flaws. Way too much BFP could be earned on a day, the gap between casual and hardcore wasn't fixed, and extremely long play sessions provided some unwanted results. There's also been the major concern about the system itself, where the current essence of the 30-minute quest was to have the reliability to earn at least a booster per day, and while that would mean it would be the only reward to be earned alongside some quest BFP, it was also something fun to be anticipated. With these concerns in mind, we made the following changes:
The Daily Boost will now be earned in 45 minutes of game time. 90 minutes simply turned out to be too long considering average match length and the amount of time players would like to spend on a daily basis. With the Reserve system, earning BFP beyond the current daily limit is possible and that will help motivate the long-session players a bit more instead.
The Refill Rate Constant has been increased dramatically. This will actively enforce a more manageable BFP softcap than before. Where extremely long playtimes could previously have helped to give 1.5K+ BFP per day, this has now been lowered to a more comfortable 800 BFP total. This total is based on 250 BFP from Daily Boost, 150 BFP from 2 Quests per day, and a theoretical 24hr Playtime Rewards Non-Stop of 400BFP. For short-session players or those who have just dipped their toes in the Reserve system, not a lot will change. Only very long-term sessions and matches will see a difference, which means that more casual players have a better chance and an easier time catching up in BFP, bringing everything in a way better and more controlled proportion.
The Drain Rate Constant has been increased significantly. To compensate for the lower maximum amount of BFP earnable through reserves, as well as to simply give everyone a better and faster BFP-earning experience, payouts will be a lot higher on full reserves. The curve is a lot steeper, and long sessions will get to lower BFP payouts a bit quicker than before, but should still be able to get a neat amount of BFP for their time. This should resolve the concerns that arose about the reserve system netting very little BFP compared to the daily bonus.
To prevent AFK/Botting abuse giving unfair advantages or ruining games, a maximum match time has been set for BFP payouts. Normal players should typically not notice much of this.
Carry-over mechanic: It's okay to miss a day! One of the most prominent suggestions has been to somehow make up for any missed days by either making the reserve system span across multiple days, to pay out more during weekends, or to catch up otherwise. This makes a lot of sense, and so we're implementing a carry-over system: Quests can now stack up to 6 and you can carry over your daily boost throughout multiple days. You can even carry over a bit of the remainder of an existing boost in case you can't play the full daily hour.
60% of the remainder of a daily boost is now carried over to the next time you play, meaning you can save up to 150 BFP each day to add up to your next daily boost. Up to 300 BFP can be saved at a time, and saved BFP drains along with the normal daily boost when you come back, so you will be able to gain up to 550 BFP in an hour of playtime on the day you come back. We feel like 3 days is a good guideline to stick to when it comes to casual compensation, and so up to 3 days worth of quests and dailies can be stored. Of course, playing every day will still give out more BFP, but this system should put less pressure on the more casual or busy player and help to compensate for work, breaks, or other times where they may be unavailable. 
The Daily Booster Replacement. In order to give people more freedom to use their daily reward, we have previously decided to hand out BFP instead of a booster each day. However, with the amount of BFP earned not being as high (due to it being distributed across a reserve system), the "booster-a-day" system didn't apply anymore and could feel way less rewarding than intended. To mitigate this problem, we will give a 100BFP discount on the next booster you buy every single day after completing your daily bonus time. This discount will apply to the current booster and upcoming booster types. Therefore, you will now be able to buy a booster after completing your daily playtime and daily quests (and have 50BFP left over before reserves kick in). You can give that booster a go and perhaps get that Ultra Rare at a discounted rate, or you can freely spend your BFP in trades or the Auction Hall. The choice is yours!
In-Depth: Further News
We have also made a few minor quality-of-life changes currently only the test server to make the game a little more forgiving for certain players. In particular, the PvP-heavy new player experience will be a lot more bearable due to us dramatically lowering the level requirement for upgrading your cards. In order to buy/apply upgrades, whereas formerly you would need to get to relatively high PvP or PvE ranks, we have now unified and lowered the requirements to level 1 for upgrade 1 (soldier/watcher), level 4 for upgrade 2 (warrior/keeper), and level 5 for upgrade 3 (aggressor/tactician) respectively of either rank. This goes for all cards of all rarities, so UR cards won't require a ridiculous rank anymore for those who don't wish to grind PvE. Additionally, it is planned that the rank requirement applies to the highest rank attained; if you drop in rank due to PvP degradation, you will still be able to upgrade your cards as if you were your highest level. PvP-centered players should experience a significantly smoother deck building rate this way, and are less restricted in their early days.
Due to some newcomers finding rPvE level 6 a little to harsh to start off with, we have reduced the rPvE quest requirement to level 5 instead. We believe level 5 should be achievable even with starter decks without upgrades. Must this still give you trouble, you can now stack your quest up for longer until you manage to beat level 5, or you have the choice to re-roll if it's not your day for it and still need some amount of payout.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, it is worth mentioning that we do try to take into account as much feedback as we can in these decisions. Perhaps your idea did not get implemented, perhaps you disagree with the changes. Please do know that we still appreciate your feedback and would love to continue hearing your suggestions and feelings about the state of the game and its updates, and do be aware that while features suggested may not always be implemented, they are still being considered and accounted for where possible and viable; existing feedback on the BFP system, for example, will still be considered for the future, and won't be void after this update.
We're making lots of progress on the design side of the project and are able to tweak and implement the features necessary to keep progressing at a very steady pace. The reset is getting ever closer, and we've got more game updates coming your way in the near future. Next up: expanding the booster market! New booster types will be coming your way very soon to add some variety to the store and allow you to be less dependent on the RNG that a regular booster would offer, and tailor your rewards more to your needs! Further down the road are achievements, quests, perhaps some gold tweaks and more, so stay tuned for more of that in the near future, and we would love to hear your suggestions and feedback in the meantime! 
None of these changes are necessarily final, and we will keep reiterating to keep improving Skylords Reborn!
This update is currently live on our test server, so feel free to enjoy and test the heck out of it there. It will stay on the test server until we determine that the system is stable enough and there are no major flaws or bugs present to push to the main live server. To enter the test server, head over to our Discord (#dev-updates-test-server) to download the test server launcher.
Stay tuned, stay safe, and stay divine, guardians of Nyn!

Heya Skylords, Skyladies, and other Skyfolk,
Spring festivities are upon us again, and this year it's a rather strange one for all of us. With global lockdowns and measures taking place against COVID-19, millions of people are currently in self-isolation at home. For those who have recently discovered Skylords Reborn, or even for those long-time veterans who want to complete their collections, we're going to giving everyone 5 boosters to endure the grind a little better in these trying times. Use them as you wish; perhaps you'll be able to try out something new, perhaps it'll give you that well-needed collection or economic boost, perhaps it's just a fun time opening them! 
Of course, Easter time is something not to be forgotten, and so we're also giving all of you an Easter Egg card, as the tradition goes. You can find these gifts in your in-game mailbox to redeem and spread the happiness with!
In the meantime, now more than ever are we trying our best to get the game and the ever-awaited reset to you as soon as possible. Despite the current circumstances, we've actually been increasing progress speed in the past few weeks and we've got some solid ideas and improvements planned to head your way in the near future. We're getting there, Skyfolk, and we're going strong.
Be sure to stay tuned for further developments, updates, and status reports coming your way soon! We've got much in the pipeline.
Please do remember to stay safe, stay inside, maintain your distance, and look out for yourselves and those in need in these awkward but ever so important times.
Enjoy your rewards, stay tuned, and as always, Nyn is ready for you to be ruled and protected!
~The SR Team

Warnings are usually non-negotiable, but users reserve the right to ask for clarification, whilst being aware that this will in no way ensure a response to said warning and will in no way ensure a change of result. Repetitive violation of the rules may result in permanent banishment from these Forums and therefore the game. Note that these rules are not language-restrictive; they apply globally. Staff reserve the right to take preventative or retroactive measures against known threats to our domain, including but not limited to spambots, known toxicity, and otherwise known people that may disrespect or have disrespected our policy. If these cases require discussion or you would like to appeal, please use the contact form or contact Global Moderators on any platform.
[GLOBAL RULES]
1. No Inappropriate Content
The Forums and game are to be kept clean, safe and friendly to users of all ages, beliefs, moralities, ethnicities, and situations. We therefore do not allow obscene content or content with a (high) risk of offending users. This includes posts, links, images, videos, and any other direct medium. This category includes, but is not limited to, content which refers to or in itself is:
Vulgar, pornographic/mature or graphic Of religious nature Disrespectful Offensive in any way (Racial/Ethnic/Country-based) Promoting (symbols of) nationalistic/patriotic hatred Obscene Irrelevantly (ergo: not focused around SR) advertising any product, including self-promotion without permission) Sexually oriented Insulting, threatening, provoking or calling out another member (Cynicism may also be seen as insulting) Relating to drugs or activities involving them Invasion or distributing any other's information that could be private, without their consent or approval Harassing or defamatory (This includes things like "kys" or other "popular memes" that are currently going on) Publicly denouncing a person (Defamation of character or wild accusations of scamming) Linked to or by itself harmful and malicious software, such as viruses, Trojans, etc. Examples of any of the above (but not limited thereto) within your post will result in your post being deleted and a warning being issued. Multiple warnings may result in account suspension or restriction of indeterminate length.
Important notice: saying "kappa" or using the "kappa" or "troll" emote is by absolutely no means an excuse to act vulgarly or break the forum rules in any way. Not even as a joke. Same goes for any form of indicating sarcasm, such as "/s"
1.1. Language
These Forums and our Discord server are made for a global community. We assume English (UK/US) to be our global language and thereby it is required that every user posts their content within the English language. Additionally, inappropriate or vulgar language (cursing, swearing, etc.) is not permitted. In-game you are allowed to write in any language and do not require translations.

Posts outside of the English (UK/US) language will result in a request for translation, which, if not obeyed, will result in post deletion and a warning being issued. Multiple warnings may result in account suspension or restriction of indeterminate length.
1.2. Keeping it Legal
We kindly ask you to not bring seriously illegal topics onto these Forums, Discord or into the game. Whereas sometimes these topics are allowed to be used in a discussion or post, please try to set boundaries and ensure that topics will not rise to a criminal level. Refrain from expressing specific methods of piracy or committing crimes. Though unlikely to appear, refrain from posting cheats or hacks for the game, even if this is to point out they exist. If you are thus far urged to report such an activity, contact a staff member or use the Forums or in-game report tool.
2. Spamming or Unconstructive Behaviour
Spamming and unconstructive behaviour is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Excessively communicating the same phrase, similar phrases, gibberish, or any repetitive posts of the same content Creating threads or in-game messages for the sole purpose of causing unrest and disturbance within the community Making non-constructive comments Clustering spoiler boxes (aka a spoiler in a spoiler in a spoiler in a spoiler etc.) Making senseless or other rule 2-infringing posts to increase rank "Adding fuel to the fire" or ensure the continuation or lengthening of fights, harassment, insults, and flame wars Abusing the Report tool (false alarms, nonsensical messages, insults) Posts marking a thread numbered, IBTL, TL;DR, or any other mocking statements Creating duplicate accounts for whatever reason Mind that these rules apply as much to the Off-Topic board as to any other forum board, as well as in-game where applicable. Examples of any of the above will be deleted at sight. Depending on re-occurrence  or the severity of the violation, this may result in warnings or direct account suspension or restriction for an indeterminate time.
3. Unsportsmanlike Behaviour
Unsportsmanlike behaviour is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Causing disturbances in forum threads or in-game, such as picking fights, making severely off-topic posts that may ruin the thread, and insulting others In-game: Griefing or purposely hindering allied players including abusing Shadow's self-damage skills In-game: Being AFK/Away or being purposely inactive (letting the others do the work for you without consent) In-game: Deliberately losing PvP matches to exploit reward or ELO systems. Examples of this behaviour include, but are not limited to trading ELO with another player or helping other players with ranked PvP achievements. 4. No Multi-Accounting
Making duplicate accounts to circumvent bans, to circumvent daily reward or ELO systems, or for literally any other reason, is strictly forbidden, both on the Forums as well as in-game. We do not condone making additional accounts to speed up progression, get more points, to hide your identity, or for any other reason whatsoever. Routine and automatic multi-accounting detection has been applied to prevent multi-accounting, and accounts with IP matches may be suspended. Shared or public computers are taken into account, and if you accidentally get caught by our system while you are not intending to multi-account (e.g. have siblings/roommates/friends on the same IP or network, public PC, shared PC), feel free to contact staff in any other way. If sufficient proof is given, we can revert your penalties. Any registrations that closely resemble multi-accounting may have all their accounts banned immediately and without warning.
5. Impersonation
Impersonating a Skylords Reborn staff member or forum user to do harm, create fake posts or announcements in order to make others believe they originate from the impersonated person, or unjustly cause confusion among other users will result in immediate account suspension for an indeterminate duration without warning.
6. Making Up Dev Statements
Making up dev statements, especially feature dates is strictly forbidden. Do not assume you know more than Forums, streams or official social media tell, and never make up any release dates or fake information, not even as a joke.
7. Trade Rules
No begging No scamming No public reports/blaming of the above Avoid imbalanced trades. Additionally, do not transfer all valuable items to another account when leaving the game to prevent exploiting the reward system or appearing to engage in multi-accounting, which may result in potential risks to your account.* No forum or in-game account selling No transfers or suggestions or mention of transfers, transactions, or trades involving any real-life currency, including online measures such as Paypal. Trade strictly through in-game currency and/or cards on both ends of a deal. Failing to follow the last two rules of this section will result in a permanent ban without warning or negotiation. Any violation of the other rules may result in a warning. Consecutive warnings may result in account suspension or restriction of indeterminate length. 
* If you receive large, unexpected donations from an unknown account, please do not hesitate to contact the moderators to ensure fair play and to prevent any potential rule violations
8. Avoiding Penalties
Do not break the rules and do not avoid penalties thereof. This includes making duplicate accounts, as well as making others post on your behalf. Duplicate accounts for any purpose whatsoever are considered to be an infringement of the rules. Attempting to avoid penalties will result in an extension of said penalty, possibly to the extent of lengthy suspensions, permanent banishment or account deletion.
9. Being a robot
Spam-bots or suspected spam-bots will be deleted at sight. If staff has accidentally mistaken you for a spam-bot, try to contact Skylords Reborn staff in another way, such as private messaging on the Forums, or use the #contact-staff on our Discord Server.
10. Responding to Rule Violation / Reporting Content
If a user does not follow these rules, it is strictly forbidden to publicly denounce or point out to this user that they are breaking the rules. This counts as public denouncement/insulting and is not tolerated. If you wish to inform someone of their rule violation, do so in a private, kind, supportive and structured way whilst following Rule 1. If you wish for SR staff to act, rather than sending a private message to them, click the report button under the infringing post. Provide a reason and staff will get behind this whenever they can or see fit. Abusing the report button will result in immediate warnings which may lead to account suspension or restriction of indeterminate length. 

Similarly, you can report other players in-game by right clicking on the players and clicking "Report". Again, it is important to know that forum and in-game reports must abide by rules 1 and 2. Failure to abide by this may result in receiving penalties yourself.
11. Respect the Staff and their Decisions
We try our utmost best to do our job of managing these Forums, the game and the community to our own ability. We try to do our jobs at a pace we see fit, please have patience. We apply lenience of rule enforcement to our own standards. Any threads or posts mocking staff decisions may be removed at sight and consequences may apply as would be taken to act against public denouncement. If you have a problem with the actions of a staff member, discussing it privately, preferably with that staff member, is the only right way to approach it such a situation. No reporting, no public denouncement. Rudeness towards staff may be penalized as staff sees fit. Criticizing development speed may be penalized as staff sees fit. Severe problems with Moderators that you feel should be anonymous for whatever reason must be sent to an Administrator and by absolutely no means anybody else. 
11.1 Respect warnings and the privacy thereof
If you end up receiving a warning, we expect you to keep this information private, as is already described in the rules above. Publicly talking about, discussing or criticizing warnings of any form, or action taken against you or another forum member, is subject to possibly increasing your warning's value or duration and is in violation with rule 9. Please do keep this information private and if you feel like discussing this with other members feel free to do so in PM or outside of the Discord Server, Forum threads or status updates. If the discussion remains to be public, please beware of the risks this may bring within our domain. The Skylords Reborn Team reserves the right to take preventative measures within their domain.
12. Content Uploading Policy
You are allowed to make Youtube videos, streams, write blogs and posts etc. about Skylords Reborn.
Additionally, the SR team reserves the right to intervene with content distribution if they deem this necessary. If they see the need to shut certain community content uploading down they may do so without reasoning or warning. However, if any content will be a victim to this, these will most likely be provided anyway.
13. Game client and bug abuse
The usage of any bugs within any in-game content to any unintended benefit to any user in the game is forbidden and will result in bans. This includes breaking the game, manipulating the client or server in any way, using bugs to your or anyone else's advantage, generating any currency, value or account data outside of their intended purposes, and generally doing anything to the game (local or global) that you should not be doing. This does not include using design flaws on maps to get a more efficient clear time, but does include pretty much any other illegal action, such as cheating, data manipulation, or bug abuse. Currency or other data involved will not be refunded.
14. Cheating
In addition to the rules above it's important to emphasize that the usage of any tools, trainers, software or other methods of affecting the game in order to cheat, gain advantages, or for any other purpose whatsoever, is strictly forbidden. These programs or forms of abuse provide us with enough reason to act immediately. Having such tools linked to the game or affecting it in any way, even when unaware thereof or when they aren't used at all, is considered in conflict with our code of conduct. Only using them in single player, only using them for yourself, or assuming other players are not affected are invalid excuses and such reasoning will be directly ignored, as will subsequent ban appeal(s) and their reasoning. Affected networks or other accounts will not be taken into consideration when cheating players are banned, and we hold the infringing player accountable for any such results affecting those around them. We consider this to be common sense.
[ADDITIONAL FORUM RULES]
15. Posting Behaviour
There are a number of rules every user should stick to whilst they create a thread or response to an existing thread or chat:
No thread-bumping within 24 hours of a thread's last post Necroposting outside of Off-Topic boards is not recommended (Applies to threads of which the last post is older than 30 days) NO ALL-CAPS POSTS No threads that already exist or questions that are already answered in the FAQ (Use the Search Function!) No IMspeak/netspeak/txtspeak, please take your time to create an understandable reply or topic No double-posting. Or triple-posting. Or quadraposting. Or pentaposting... No consecutive similar posts. This applies to both threads and replies and is accepted as spam No more than 2 animated pictures (.GIF) per post No public blaming, no matter how right or wrong both you and the subject matter are No insulting. Cynicism may count as insulting No public reporting or "member-ating" (acting like a moderator i.e. (strictly) pointing someone at the rules) The report button is there for a reason! Similarly, staff behavior and rule enforcing leniency should preferably be discussed privately and should be respected. No begging for reputation No begging for admin/dev/mod approval or response. We'll find your thread ourselves Post your topics within the appropriate forum. (If not, Moderators will move your topic, but if this happens too much, appropriate measures will be taken, e.g. warnings/suspensions) Use descriptive thread titles outside of Off-Topic boards. Not only will threads with titles like "Hi", "Help", "Plz", "Error", etc. repel users, but they are also vague and unhelpful. No lying or awakening false hopes through made-up dev statements. You can help people out by explaining Developer statements, but don't assume you know what you do not know, as this is punishable Failure to abide by these rules may result in edits and/or warnings. Consecutive warnings will result in account suspension or restriction for indeterminate length.

17. Reputation/Like System
The reputation system (rep system) is there for the community to give value to posts other users make ("likes"). When using the rep system, take a few things in mind:
The rep system is NOT a user-group improving system. Having a lot of reputation makes you look trustworthy, but makes you no more or less of a user than everyone else. Do not beg for likes. This will result in warnings, edits, and may even result in penalties if re-occurring. Rep of any form creates no exceptions to forum rules whatsoever; rep itself should abide by the forum rules and having any value of rep does not make one an exception to the rules either. Spamming rep in any form is not allowed. Said user may be reported validly. Reputation should never be used to enforce an argument. Sure, likes reserve the right to show you like or are in agreement with a post, but not to establish or force groups of people to support your standpoint, especially not if the argument or discussion caused is against the rules in the first place.
17.1 Reputation System Enforcement
We do not tolerate the incentive of abusing reputation in any of the above ways. Therefore, if staff considers your reputation to be in any way spamming, invalid or used in a way it should not be used, staff undeniably reserve the right to act and penalize users for said behavior. We will always give warning(s) in advance for this. Failure to adapt results in rep changes being nullified and penalties applying. This means staff can judge the intentions of your reputation points as they see fit. Feel free to contact the Moderators if you have issues with this, but they  reserve the right to refer to this rule and close the case that way. Therefore, use reputation at your own risk. Rule 9.1 may apply undeniably with no discussion possible.
