I wonder if they will someday change how the final levels go, since right now it seems like half of the 60s take forever and the other half are instant.

Level 48. I think you can get 13% a day.

I was in the leveling guide a while ago. :)

I haven't checked that guide since it used to be more accurate before going to GS Wide. Back then it showed exact numbers of what you would get.

It's probably like 2.4% or something like that so it rounds up some days to the closer number. That's why the old system was so much better, people actually new what they were getting.

JPL's percent gain bug? He told me on MSN he actually wanted his percent fixed but instead they removed a point loss or two. I'm lagging through this level... ;(

I used to like gaining levels, but the only times I liked earning them were from levels 1 to 10 because of the new features you unlock for your GS account. After that it becomes a chore and it lacks its purpose.

But I will say that it is still an interesting concept. It's a lot better than earning Wiki points on Giant Bomb or 1up's own ranking system. I only earned 2 wiki points on GB and little progress on 1up (And I haven't returned to those accounts for the past couple of years!)

It is kind of difficult to explain (since my last login was a few year ago) so I'll do the best I can to explain it.

Apparently you earn points by blogging, game lists, reviews, etc.

My points at the moment (searched my account via google sans logging in) is 9,141. This is somewhat of a low-ranking score, and the last time I logged in it was about 2,000 (so this means that I'm earning points without being active on the site!)

Well, I made the account back then to expand my gaming socializing. But the site, as well as Giant Bomb, didn't interest me so I stopped using those two and continue to use GS because I'm more comfortable with this site interface.

I don't know, maybe.

I do know that 1up is less restrictive than GS in terms of comment/forum posting, Clubs (think "unions" here), etc. But that wasn't the reason why I don't use my 1up account. It was the pseudo-convoluted user interface, especially the profile page which annoyed me a lot. The same can be said about Giant Bomb's interface which I hated as well.
