What's Leveling?
Every bit of activity on Rank and Play earns you XP. As your XP adds up, you level up — and the higher your level climbs, the more perks you unlock. Here's exactly how it works.
How you earn XP
XP is earned automatically as you take part in the community. No grinding required — just keep doing what you already do.

Leveling up
Each level needs a bit more XP than the last, so early levels come fast and higher levels are a real long-term achievement. Your Level and progress bar to the next level are shown right on your profile, under your photo.
