are the US and JPN ranks seperate???

[subzero1313]

I noticed when I went on, my rank was like 2530: champ

while people on the domestic were like 2550: rookie

So I'm assuming the ranks are seperate???

I conqure. i'm a 752 Senior, when seniors are more like the 3-4000 rank in the JP ladder.

[pierretomi]

was the best way to seperat rankings for jap. and us version, otherwise it would be impossible for a us version player to catch up rank.

[Zolpner]

or the Euro players for that matter.... you can see now how far we will be behind :/

yeah i might be unfair to US players to put them in the same rankingsystem like the JP players. but when u can earn LORD rank after one tournament you know the US ranks aint worth shit.

Not yet at least. Give it a few months.

exactly give it some time.
If you already have "Rank" status when you are placed 2500 or so. Surely becoming Lord is dead easy.
When I logged on the JPN version I was RANK : 9000+
Now I am 500-600 with Lord. On JPN when you are below 1300 you get the Lord status. So that would that there are about 13,000 players online. And I have seen people on the JPN version with RANK : 12,000+

Ranks are based on % of total players that ever logged online (10% or so of the total players are Lord for example, 1% is King etc. etc.), the more players you have the harder it is to get a higher rank. I think it is good that they keep it seperate, but a world ranking would have been cool, instead of a region ranking.

But World Ranking would be kinda unfair... US/EU player could never reach 200.000- 800.000 meseta. And when they do, jp EP3 player will have already far over 1mio meseta. You would never see a US/EU King.... heh

[Castoth]

Ranking is determined by how much meseta you have? No wonder it goes down when you use the jukebox...suckage.

[Jools]

No, no, ranking is based on your total *earned* meseta. Your spending is irrelevant.
