Old forum ranks:
Newbie
Jr. Member
Sr. Member
Experienced Member
Dedicated Member
Full Member
Elder Member
Elite Member
Hero Member
Legendary Member
Alrighty old old forum ranks were changed after community suggestions were given on the forum discussion boards, anonymous forum polls, Tumblr, & Instagram. After going through a couple different community suggestions a number of suggestions stuck out and seemed to fit best. The goal was to keep ranks fun, Feral Heart related, fresh, and more unique than the original generic rank names we’ve kept for years.
Newer ranks that were partly liked but needed improvements:
Forum Newcomer
Small Paws
Grounds Dweller
Familiar Fur
Friend of Ferals
Grey Pelt
Finest Floof
Community Champion
Silver Pelt
Heart of a Feral
Lasting Legacy
While a number of users liked these new ranks and saw them as a refreshing friendlier less competitive ranking system a handful expressed otherwise. The Elder members rank in particular was missed. Some expressed that the newer ranks didn’t have a progressive feeling to them either. Suggestions were made to switch the order of certain ranks and remove or reword others. After careful consideration we reworked the new rank names around again. We hope these are more to your liking! We’re grateful for your feedback throughout the process and good humor with the temporary Elderly rank system as we sorted it out:
Forum newcomer
Curious Wanderer
Familiar Grounds Dweller
Experienced Traveler
Dedicated Supporter
Finest Floof
Pack & Pride Representative
Community Champion
Elder Grey Pelt
Ancient Silver Mane
Honored Hero
Immortal Legend
Forum Newcomer: So veteran players of the game who join the forum don’t have the generalized Newbie rank.
Curious Wander: Incorporates the “Wanderer” title (Batch Four) and concept suggested by Bawfle in her post here as well as other community member variation suggestions of the rank.
Familiar Grounds Dweller: Influenced by community poll & Torskite’s suggestion to incorporate some map specific ranks.
Experienced Traveler: Incorporates the “traveler” title (Batch Four) and concept suggested by Bawfle in her post here as well as old rank name “Experienced Member”.
Dedicated Supporter: Refreshed community poll suggestion for old “Dedicated Member” rank.
Finest Floof: Torskite, Esarosa, A.P.S, & other frequently requested community suggestion to add “Floof” themed ranks.
Pack & Pride Representative: A mix of A.P.S & community suggestions for “lion/pride wolf/pack themed” ranks as well as Bawfle rank name suggestion for “representative” (Batch Four)
Community Champion: community poll suggestion.
Elder Grey Pelt & Ancient Silver Mane:
We know you guys missed your elders ranks
(looking at you WolfDog01 & Birdie. Originally the plan was for the elder themed ranks to automatically go back to you guys but due to Forum Games posts recently bumping up a number of people’s posts counts and a few other changes & additional ranks some of you elders have returned to youth <\3 I’m sorry) Lucius gave the nice suggestion to differentiate both a bit with the “mane” instead of Pelt for both.
Honored Hero: A mix of community poll suggestion & old rank title “Hero Member”.
Immortal Legend: A mix of community poll suggestion & old rank title “Legendary Member”
I’m sorry if I left any names out but thank you all for your wonderful suggestions for the ranks.
