3.6 Quarterly XP Reset & Competitive Seasons

The Great Reset: On the first day of each quarter (January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, October 1st), all user XP is reset to zero at midnight. This creates a level playing field where every user has an equal opportunity to compete for leaderboard dominance.

Subscriber Advantage: A few minutes after the reset, active subscribers receive their quarterly XP re-up based on their subscription package. This head start gives subscribers an early advantage, but remember— consistent engagement and strategic play can still win the season!

Why This Matters:

• 🏅 Fresh Competition: Every quarter is a new race to the top. If you didn't make it this cycle, the next reset gives you another shot at leaderboard glory.
• ⚡ Level Playing Field: The reset ensures no one has an insurmountable advantage. Your dedication and strategy matter more than how long you've been playing.
• 🎯 Strategic Timing: Plan your biggest XP pushes around quest completions, Power Hours, and multiplier activations to maximize your quarterly performance.
• 💎 Exclusive Rewards: Top performers each quarter earn exclusive badges, recognition, and bragging rights that last until the next reset.

Remember: Even if you miss the top spots this quarter, the next reset is just around the corner. Every season is a fresh start, a new chance to climb the ranks, and another opportunity to claim your place among the elite.
