Home
Newagemugen forums has a diverse ranking system - ranks are divided into Tiers or "classes".
This ranking system originates from the early days of club syndicate Xtreme forums where Newagemugen began,
and remains mostly unchanged since 2005.
There is no guide or FAQ as to how ranks are attributed.
What we CAN tell you, is it is directly related to a members overall level of contribution & participation within the Newagemugen community forum.
Members who complete certain tasks or meet certain criteria are automatically promoted to higher ranks.
Certain ranks unlock special rights & privileges.
The higher the rank, the more exclusive and valuable the rewards.
Unlike regular mugen forums, Newagemugen rewards members who contribute/participate in the community.
IMPORTANT TIP
You do NOT have to be a God-tier Mugen creator or Digital Art overlord to rank up in Newagemugen.
All you have to be is positive, persistent, sociable, and most of all, yourself.
A community is only as good as it's conversation, and that conversation starts with YOU.
