Player rank titles
What TornLife's research has established about Player rank titles, and the questions players asked about it.
What TornLife has verified
- The wiki (captured 2021-10-19) says ranks measure progress by level, crimes done, networth and total battle stats. A player starts at Rank 1 (Absolute beginner) and each time they reach a rank trigger their rank increases, giving one award and one merit. (documented; Rank › Rank Names, )
- Titles are separate from ranks. The wiki's title table ties each title to a different statistic, such as attacks done or races won. (documented; Title — Title Triggers, )
- The wiki's rank trigger table (2021) gives thresholds in four categories. Level: 2, 6, 11, 26, 31, 50, 71, 100. Crimes: 100, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 50,000. Networth: 5m, 50m, 500m, 5b, 50b. Total battle stats: 2k-2.5k, 20k-25k, 200k-250k, 2m-2.5m, 20m-35m, 200m-250m. Each threshold reached counts as one trigger toward the next rank. (documented; Rank › Rank Triggers, )
- A title is distinct from a rank. A title reflects your most distinctive attribute compared with players active in the past week, and changes at most once weekly. Rank indicates relative progress in the game. Level, rank, title and age appear together on the profile. (documented; Title › Historical Notes, )
- Battle stat triggers are based on a score, not the raw total. The more balanced the stats, the earlier in the range the trigger fires. Heavy imbalance needs a higher total, and the listed values may be inaccurate. Score values: 89.44, 282.84, 894.43, 2,828.43, 8,944.27, 28,284.27. (documented; Rank › Rank Triggers, )
- The wiki says it is run by a few players and may be inaccurate or out of date, so the title and rank tables may lag the game. (documented; Main Page › Torn - The Text-Based Online RPG › Wiki Information, )
- The wiki (captured 2021-10-19) lists 26 ranks. Rank #1 Absolute beginner is the default; each later rank needs one more total trigger than the last, from Beginner at 1 total to Invincible (#26) at 25 total. (documented; Rank › Rank Names — Rank Names, )
- No developer or staff forum post in this pack releases official playerbase statistics on level or rank distribution; the one staff post found (bogie, 2015) addresses rank-trigger mechanics, not population counts, and the one developer post found (Chedburn, 2015) is a security notice unrelated to statistics. (documented; [Rank] :: What increases player rank ? Triggers?, )
- Networth must be maintained for 7 days for a new networth-based rank to trigger. The networth system and some triggers changed in 2015. (documented; Rank › Rank Triggers, )
- The Torn Wiki's pre-RESPO Hall of Fame page describes only top-20 leaderboards for Level and Rank, plus a way to scroll to find your own single placement; it is not a full distribution chart across all levels or ranks. (documented; Old hof › Top Factions / Level / Rank, )
- No source in this pack gives a count or percentage breakdown of players by rank title band; the only rank-related community or wiki content found concerns top-20 rank leaderboards or individual rank-trigger mechanics, not a population breakdown by rank. (documented; Old hof › Top Factions / Level / Rank, )
