Well, we're going to release a new patch soon (version 10.70) which will be available through
www.netstormhq.com. As for ranking, and things of that sort, they will be adjusted in 10.70 so that it doesn't get so repetative, although As Durak was explaining, most players don't rank up anyways. The thing I most enjoy about Netstorm is the small, tight knit community. This means everyone knows who everyone else is, and when you become really good at the game, you earn respect and fame. It's an interesting feeling for an online game, as with games like Warcraft etc. it's next to impossible to be good enough to get recognized, whereas on NS, anyone that's played for a couple of years is known by everyone else
