Ladders


Kingoberv

I see when I join the game there is a ranking like "Kingoberv is ranked 7 out of 424 players" and then there is a number attached to your sprite permanently in game. It know that used to be attached to some kind of ladder where i don't remember where it was located. Is that thing actually active? Where does the game information actually go to count that stuff?

used to be renladder.blackhand-studios.net, but it's dead.

But what is the rank we are seeing in game? I thought it's an RC internal ladder, isn't it?

Ah, yes, I thought he was talking about the overall WOL/Xwis ladder. Our stuff has been broken for ages now. Ranks are just in the databases in the server.

This game is 20 years, is anyone honestly concerned with ranks at this point? There's no prizes if you are ranked higher than anyone. Just have fun man!

My question didn't have anything to do with that. Even when people cared 20 years ago about them I didn't. I was trying to figure out functionally what is actually going on with them. Like if the wxis ladder doesn't exist anymore, how is it possible that the number attached to the sprite changes? One would just expect everyone to not have a number or have the same number or something. Like how is the game still producing a number without a database in a server somewhere? A question more along the lines of how is this possible.

XWIS probably has database setup somewhere, but it's most likely faulty and producing what you see now.
