Hey ive been playing for 7 months and im 133 is that typical coz im sure someone said theyd been playing for 3 months and was a rank 600. Just wondering

I would consider Cosmo Kramer a slow ranker. Sure, it's a strategy, but...

I am Vyger...

8-9 months. i am 162 but i havnt always been slow ranker, and im certainly not the slowest.... i passed some guys who have been playing for 12+ months

Anyone that takes 3-4 days to move up 1 lvl is slow to me (Under Rank 300) But I can see the benefit of slow ranking to gain all the red/blue/yellow badges first before focusing on energy to rank faster.

I was already rank 600s when badges were introduced. =/

if i hadn't reset twice i should be high 200's and i've been playing just over a year, my last reset was about 5 months ago, so 7 months of playing for my current rank of 179

9 months nearly, Rank 176.

I've been slow ranking. 6 months in I'm at rank 95. I take 4-6 days to rank up.

2months and im 56 dont know what that comes under, slow or medium. but i dont want to be a slow ranker, dont think i am..

expect to a jump in how often you rank.... assuming you continue to research energy.... a friend of mine has been playing for 5-6 months.... rank 56

Slow ranking is deliberately not loading energy modules or relays to go slow- also wasting energy (in xp terms) on base or other low return uses

Fast ranking is loading up on engineers and perfecting the art of squeezing levels out of npc'ing

anything in between is in between

Good summary.

You mean...me for instance? Rank 160 but around....18 months of playing?

Around 7 months of playing rank 164

I think one of the best ways to slow rank is to hack. You can (successfully) hack every 15 minutes, and your basic 21/hr means that every
I wouldn't really think that slow ranking under like say 85 would be a good idea because of the massive kur increase and the planet caps

can't get much slower than 0 xp per hour... (only because this game doesn't have xp penalties)
i'll just chat and collect resources

Both equally damned good ways of slow ranking

The ingenuity of my fellow players never ceases to amaze

I am rank 370 odd after- i am not sure- 17 months? so would have to say i am in the middle way

lol. Yeah that works. However, if you want good AP/RP, you need ranks to get more planets. So... other than pure pvp and not much else in the game (well, hacking works), not sure why anyone would even play the game at that point. I understand easy reds and stuff to get badge items, but beyond that... you slow rankers are nuts

Don't you get RSI from all the clicking Binary Man?

I've been playing for 14 months(maybe? I think...maybe 13..) and I'm rank 514, which makes me a medium-fast ranker, I level on average maybe 1.5 times a day(2 every 3 days) but there are some days I can naturally rank up 3 times(of course that takes al day and cost a fortune in terms of damage relays and artifact usage for NPC hunting)

having more than 9.7 times my rank in energy helps a lot too haha d:
