Dear Terry et al,

Is there any chance, now that the site has well over 2,000,000 players, that the 'Top 200 Ranked Players' list contained within the Fun Trivia Hall of Fame section could be expanded to show the Top 1000 Ranked Players?!?

Of course, I have an ulterior motive behind making this request...

...I will soon be crossing over into the top 1100, and have given myself a stretch target to get into the top 1000 by the end of the year, and would love to see my "name in lights" when (if) I do actually achieve it!!!

Selfishness aside, I'm sure there would be a number of other players who are currently within the Top 1000 but outside of the Top 200 who would appreciate the opportunity to see what they need to do to climb the ladder.

Thanks for your consideration.

ClarkyB...

Yes, the entire section of the site will be redone shortly. It is about 15 years old smile

While you're at it, maybe a more prominent place for the Everything champions? smile

Of course you may give more prominence to especially hard achievements (Everything challenge, triple Epics, etcetera).

But as most of us won't ever win such special milestone achievements, this may grind those let's say "more average" players.

A good balance is perhaps hard to find.

The Everything ranking isn't really about winning the badge - it lists the best daily performances (and currently, top 200 still goes a good part beyond the badge winners.)

It's our only competitive play high score list.

You could expand on the idea and have a daily Everything ranking as well as all-time - perhaps with a mini-badge or something attached to it?

I don't mean to blatantly bump my own post up to the top of the forum again...

...O.K. so clearly I do, but I'd like to revisit the suggestion of expanding the 'Top 200 Ranked Players' list contained within the Fun Trivia Hall of Fame section to show the Top 1000 Ranked Players, now that the site refresh has fully taken effect.

Whenever I see another player I "know" just ahead of me via the "My Stats & Rank" section, I get a fresh burst of FT motivation to try to catch them.

(Is this just me, or does anyone else get the same sort of "personal challenge excitement"?!?)

Anyway, that's all well and good, but one can only see the next five players ahead via this method ... a list of the top 1000 scorers would certainly be motivational fuel for me ... and others?!?

Thanks, as always, for listening :-)
