Post on the Community

There are 3 kinds of threads you can create: Discussion, Poll and Question. 
 
Discussion
Start a discussion for any subject you would like to chat about with other members - Remember to check if someone else already opened a discussion on the same topic before starting yours.

Poll
If you are curious to see what other members think, you can create New Poll which means ask a question an offer multiple answers. You'll basically run a survey!

Question
And you can also Ask a Question if you need help with anything and need answers.

Earning Stars and Badges 
- and becoming a King Legend!

Stars represent your rank in the Community. The more points you get, the more stars you collect, the higher you rank!

- How to get points?


Other Community members can react to your posts, with a "Insightful", a "Sweet" or a "Hehe" - The more of these your posts receive, the higher your points will be.



Additional points are also awarded if your posts are promoted by one of moderators or forum administrators. Promoted posts are listed in the Best of section of the forums.  

Another way is to answer questions posted by other members. If the person asking the question accepts your answer, you'll get points plus the sweet satisfaction to have helped someone! 

You also gain forum points by earning badges.


- What are the Badges and how to earn them?


Each badge is like a sweet reward for achieving an action. Complete all the steps to collect all the badges! 
You also gain points by earning them, which will help you climb to the top of the leader board. 

You can see the full list of Badges here

Go to your profile to see how many you've collected!


- What are the points needed for each level or how to become a King Legend?

You are awarded stars for earning forum points.


Levels are your progression path inside the Community. The more comments you make and the bigger your contribution is, the higher you will rank. Go all the way up to becoming a Legend in the Community! (Although it seems like there are three other secret levels afterwards...)

Points are scores you obtain from your engagement in the Community. The more points you have, the higher you can be in the ranks and the more you can access exclusive rewards.

Points are scores you obtain from your engagement in the Community. The more points you have, the higher you can be in the ranks. And the higher you are in the ranks the more perks and exclusive features that you will unlock! 

On top of that, we have leaderboards. On the Activity Section (and on every game's home page) you can see the top leaders of the week along with the all-time leaders. And what's even more exciting, we have prizes! HERE is a thread that explains the different prizes you get as you reach certain milestones (5.000 points, 10.000 points, 25.000 points and 50.000 points). But remember: you have to comment on that thread once you reach those milestones so that we can give you the amazing rewards that come with it!



If you want to make it to the top, you really need to check our next point!

Who will be our first Ultimate Legend?! Now go and enjoy your time here and remember, the more helpful and informative your posts, the more stars you will have.

Happy posting!

    Crazy Cat Lad, your article says that to start a new discussion you have to go choose a category and go to the right corner and click. Where can I find that page, please? I am new here and a bit lost.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
