Many have asked for this and we thought it was time to bring the leaderboards and competitve level of the game to a next level. With this said we think these seasonal leaderboards﻿ will bring a lot of fun.'' Seasonal Leaderboards will work as the follow﻿in﻿g﻿: <ul><li>Periods / time of a s﻿eason + season name will be decided by us manually. We will create our own seasons and based on that combine them with events and prices.</li> <li>Seasons can take up to a month time or can be only for a few days. It's just what ever we decide depending on the event.</li> <li>Statistics in Seasonal Leaderboards only count statistics from Official Servers and Solo Servers.</li> <li>When no season is active the seasonal leaderboards tab in the menu will say "No seasons active".</li></ul> ''From here we will start working on special events related to seasons with cool rewards, maybe even seasons that are only for 1 day. We're planning on even adding rankings in future. We'll see what comes based on this!'' <li>New Reputation Ranks</li> ''Based on feedback from the community and our moderators we've decided to add new ranks to both the postive and the negative side of reputation. On the postive side we added:'' <ul><li>+300000 rep - "Genius"</li> <li>+400000 rep - "Devin"</li> <li>+500000 rep - "Sheriff"</li></ul> On the negative side we added: <ul><li>-1250000 rep - "Warrior"</li> <li>-1500000 rep - "Evil"</li> <li>-2000000 rep - "Cannibal"</li></ul></ul>

MARKETPLACE UPDATES
''We've received a lot of feedback from our community regarding skins. Some people were complaining there are too many skins in the game, some people were complaining there hasn't been any new skins since forever, and some said prices are too high etc. We've discussed this and came up with a solution, a ne﻿w system, that will be fit for everyone. Summed up there's basicly too many skins available to players. Some skins are too old, some new, it can be very confusing this way. Based on this feedback we've came up with the following solution / system:'' <ul><li>There will from now on only be a limited amount of skin recipes available instead of everything being always available. We will rotate the skins daily meaning new / different skins will be available every day including discounts.</li> <li>Some skinboxes will be removed forever from the marketplace. (They might come back on certain events sometimes)</li> <li>Skinboxes will rotate in the marketplace instead of everything being available at once. We plan on making different boxes available for different/certain periods.</li> <li>This will leave us with more space to actually release new skinboxes instead of "flooding" the marketplace with skins.</li> <li>Skinboxes will increase in their value. Some skinboxes will become legacy.</li> <li>This will also leave space for us to release boxes that can be cheap or have prices more based on the actual quality of the skins.</li></ul>-->
