Raptr Launches New Gaming Rep System
Mountain View, Calif. – Feb. 29, in the year of our Lord
2012 – Raptr, the leading gamer social network with 12
million users, has launched a new gaming rep system to measure
and reflect a user’s skills and experience in the games they
play. Users earn ranks by playing games, which will unlock
exclusive site features as well as real rewards from retail and
game partners. With the launch of the new reputation system,
Raptr profiles now reflect a complete picture of a user’s gaming
persona, interests, expertise, and achievements.
“Earning ranks gains more than simple bragging rights,” said
Dennis Fong, CEO of Raptr. “Our goal is to leverage a user’s
gaming persona to make their experience better, via giving them
an outlet to show off their accomplishments, discover more
relevant content, or earn rewards simply for playing games.”
The new gaming rep system allows users to earn ranks, starting
as a “Newbie” and advancing all the way to “Elite” if they are
in the top percentile in time played, achievements unlocked and
more. Raptr also uses a gamer’s rep to deliver more relevant
content to the user based on their rank, progress and recency of
activity in a game. For instance, a gamer who is ranked a
“Newbie” in a game is likely to see such content as strategy
guides and FAQs, while an “Elite” may see the best
community-curated Machinima videos. Future Raptr features will
also leverage a user’s gaming rep in a similar fashion.
Raptr’s new gaming rep system introduces these features:
• New, dynamic user profiles, interactive charts, and genre maps
• A percentile-based ranking system that tracks a user’s hours
and achievements and compares them with the rest of the
community. The ranks are as follows: Newbie –> Amateur –>
Experienced –> Dedicated –> Hardcore –> Elite
• Social leaderboards to see how a user stacks up against
friends
• Highly targeted and personalized news feed that delivers
relevant content based on a user’s game collection, rank, most
recent activity, and progress in a game
• Real rewards as users rank up in the games they play
More details about the Raptr Rewards Program will be announced
in the coming months.
