Introducing AC Points
You may have noticed a new number next to your username on your profile: AC Points (short for AethCore Points). It's a simple way to recognize participation on the site.

How you earn


  • 50 AC — Registering an account (one-time)

  • 25 AC — Getting verified yourself, if you were invited

  • 15 AC — Having a game request approved

  • 10 AC — Writing a game review (one per game)

  • 10 AC — Publishing a blog post

  • 5 AC — Creating a forum thread

  • 5 AC — Daily login

  • 3 AC — Uploading a picture or screenshot

  • 2 AC — Posting a forum reply



No daily caps. If you want to frontload a bunch of reviews on your first weekend, go for it. You'll run out of games to review eventually.

Backfill

We ran a one-time backfill for everyone who joined before today — your prior activity has been credited so current members aren't behind compared to new signups.

What can I spend them on?

Nothing, yet. Points are a participation number for now. We have some ideas for where this goes next — cosmetic stuff, profile flair, that sort of thing. Stay tuned.

Anti-farming

Editing an existing review doesn't award more points. Deleting and reposting also won't. Spam-posting for points will get you moderated the normal way. Just don't.

Questions or bugs, post them in the forums.
