A few minutes ago, I noted a new stat in the "Forum Moderators" section of the main forum page. The stat has a star as its symbol and is below the number of quests in each mod/admin's spot. Here's a screenshot:
I'm guessing this is a point system of some kind, but I don't see any indication of it in the profiles yet.
Edit: The "star" stat appears in the threads as well. My "star" value is 6,270, but I see several mods/admins with 5 digit values. Among the mods/admins, Gantic has the highest value with over 30K.
I have 2 easy quests completed, meaning that each Easy quest is worth 10 stars. Using RavePenguin's profile, I can declare that each Hard quest is worth [250 - 15 * 10 = 100, 100 / 2 = 50] 50 Stars. Time to look for a profile WITHOUT insane quests but WITH medium quests that has at least less than 30 quests.
You're new armatar is cool. :P So we have just been given these and told nothing about it at all? We only know what has been worked out in this thread, right?
Wait, there are quests with Insane difficulty? didn't know that but anyways, guess I really should get on with some quest hunting since 39 quests is just... meh
