Hey Gum.

Thanks for these suggestions!

I'll respond point by point on these:

1. every time you make a post in an ic sub forum, you should be automatically given a small amount of xp. no matter how small your ic post is, you should get xp. if you're posting in a thread, you're keeping the site alive and attracting new players. you should be rewarded immediately.
Adding EXP the instant that someone posts in character is going to be a bit of an administrative headache for us. Our EXP system depends entirely on manual entry at our end, and it would require that one of the staff be online at the exact time you have posted to be able to do it. I'll look into this further but right now I can't see an automatic EXP hack for the site that will deal with both your suggestion AND our current levelling system.

I do have a counter-idea, which involves a daily EXP bonus rather than a post by post bonus. It means that we can issue EXP for all in character posts during a day instead of at the time they were posted, but means you would get rewards quickly. It would be a lot easier for us to see which members have posted IC in a day than a minute-by-minute audit. I am discussing this with the other administrators now.

2. if you post ic mon-sun, every day, seven days in a row... then on sunday (or w/e day works) you get a fat wedge of xp as a reward for being active af.
A much easier idea to implement. Again I am discussing this with the team at the moment.

p.s. bring back pgs and hqs.
We've always said we would look into this again when activity and demand justify it. Right now, we're on the up but not quite there I think. If anyone wants me to look at these again and there is clamour around the board for it, then I'm down.
