A Rating System

Here's a rating system of skills needed to progress in MMORPG games

(1 lowest, 9 highest, 4 average)
1: very bad
2: bad
3: below average
4: average
5: above average
6: good
7: very good
8: exceptionally good
9: masterfully good

Abilities to rate:
Grind: the endurance one can stand in killing monsters continously, speed of advancing character, overall activity
Intel: knowledge of resources, ability in learning/knowing what does what (ex. knowing what items to get, where to grind, knowing where to go, knowing locations of key npc and quest, knowing properties of weapons/skills, strength/weakness of classes, economy)
Order: having an effective overall build (use of resources) that accomplishes one's purpose smoothly (not limited to item/stat build) and allows one to reach endgame
Charisma: sociability, skill in persuading others
Battle: effective use of available skills and the game mechanics, ability to watch over other characters in battle (ex. having an skill sequence with highest dps possible, teamwork, combinations when given multiple characters to work with)

Note: Assuming that everyone starts at the same time in a hypothetical new game
Note: Intel is resource gathering, Order is effective use of resources

BackStabbers are back once again!!!!!

We the BackStabbers have made our long awaited return to the gaming world!!! This time, we shall wreak havoc upon the world of SUN (Soul of the Ultimate Nation). Guild members DKLegendaryAffection and TrulyMagic have invaded the world of SUN and made their presence felt throughout the server. Dashizznik, NivekOn aka Nivek, and e0xx are now just entering the world of SUN to further expand our influence in the gaming world. Other members such as Jiex and Visve(who will undoubtedly play under a different name as he does in every game)will be joining SUN shortly to reinforce our cause. Our first order of business is to find the NOOB who decided to take up the name Nivek, the original game name of one of our guild members. HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT OUR GUILD BY TAKING ONE OF OUR GUILD MEMBER'S NAME!?!?! We shall find this fraudulent Nivek and pk him until the very sight of the name BackStabbers makes his knees tremble!!!!
