My point about human nature desiring to get the validation of an "achievement" system though doesn't mean that I think that is a good system, just that it could be an effective one for luring participation.As for the leveling up system that I use here with my own playgroup, it is a bit different because people interact on a personal level with a strong sense of identity that is independent of their Redemption level. However, in an online environment, people are identified much more strongly by whatever happens to always be associated with the few pieces of information that are always shown next to their contributions (ie. avatar, number of stars, etc.). It is specifically in this online environment that I'm not sure that having everyone have a rank listed next to their name all the time is a good idea. I'm not against having the stats, just displaying them prominently.

Look on the bright side....no one called you on it.
