HISTORY

Version 1

The first still documented use of /rank was all the way back in February of 2023, whereby this user created one of the first real rank images ever through EDEN.

Version 2

This was followed by some minor expansions, like the addition of ReactEXP to both level and stats, the addition of endorsements, prestige, a visual exp-multiplier, your EXP-Wars rank and an increased image resolution.

Version 3

After that, we started to introduce cosmetics to the rank image. Back then, you were able to customize the background as well as a border around your rank image and your profile picture respectively.

Version 4

With the ODYSSEY'S EDGE update, the rank image was completely reworked. We still wanted customization and all of the info we had back then, but new ideas needed more room for expansion and as such, a new design was built from scratch. In this version, a user can customize his banner serving as background and a motive sitting in front, similar to the way it's done with other bots. The goal was to have modular customization while not having to redesign the entire image just to apply a new theme.

Other than that, this version also introduced activity levels, titles, a 'member since' duration counter as well as the customization and universal token currencies.

Version 5+

Version 5 aims to highlight certain aspects of version 4, expand upon existing mechanics and making the entire system fun and more engaging by allowing for higher numbers and more progress. This includes a rework of activity levels and prestige as well as the addition of ARX as currency earned through weekly quests. Most importantly though, version 5 allows for modular translation, allowing the text on the image to adapt to the user's configured locale.
