Proposal: Revamping the Leaderboard System & Player Incentives
1. Dynamic Leaderboard Intervals
Instead of a single, static "All-Time" leaderboard, I suggest implementing Cyclic Leaderboards:
Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly categories.
Why? This gives new and casual players a fair chance to compete. Seeing a top player with millions of points can be discouraging, but seeing a weekly leader with reachable stats motivates everyone to grind.
2. Expanding the Top List
Expand the leaderboard from the current Top 50 to Top 100 players.
Why? A wider bracket acknowledges more of the community’s talent and keeps players ranked 51–100 engaged and pushing to break into the top tiers.
3. Competitive Rewards (The "Incentive" Program)
Since ranks are now renewable (every 3 months), rewards have become more valuable than ever. I propose rewarding the Top 3 Players of the Monthly or Yearly leaderboards:
Monthly Rewards: A free Rank Renewal (for another 3 months), a free Bundle, or a unique Cage.
Yearly Rewards: A permanent Rank upgrade or a free subscription to a game/pass of their choice.
4. Exclusive Prestige Badges (Visual Recognition)
Introduce unique visual badges or icons next to the player's name in the lobby and chat for those who finished in the Top 10 of the previous month.
Why? Social status and "flexing" are huge motivators. This gives players a reason to defend their title every single month to keep their badge.
The Core Benefit: Player Retention
The primary goal is to increase Player Retention. When players have a fresh start every week/month and tangible rewards to aim for, they are much more likely to return daily, resulting in higher Daily Active Users (DAU) for CubeCraft.
