Automated Milestone Progression

The platform now supports automated unlocks for prestigious titles and unique profile styles. These rewards are granted dynamically as users reach predefined Activity Point milestones, reflecting their standing and contributions within the community.

Additionally, specific specialized titles—such as Maxed, Skiller, and Ironman—are assigned based on in-game statistics. Validity for these titles is determined by a combination of combat level, total level, and the game mode role associated with your Discord account.
