    Had this idea a loooong time ago.

    The idea is that since there are other facets to the game beyond racing up the levels, to determine just how far you've truely come with your character, you take an average of the different rankings...

    I came up with more than one way to do this and people will probably come up with better ones so I will make a list of the measurements we can use to race one another.

    Curious how people compare with me!
    (And also to see what scores a certain guildmate of mine will have >.>)

    The Systems:

    Rank Average (Job): (Job Rank + Quest Rank + Fame Rank + Card Rank) /4
    (ranks where you place against others of your class, the smaller the better)
    (felt like it's fairer to compare by class since some levels are harder for some classes)

    Rank Average (Overall): (All Rank + Quest Rank + Fame Rank + Card Rank) /4
    (ranks where you place against everyone, the smaller the better)

    Total Progress: (Level + Quests + Fame + Cards - Deaths)
    (the bigger the better)

    Variations:
    > Rank Average (sub-class)
    i.e. hunter/crossbowman
    > Total Progress (w/out deaths)
    metagame perspective, fairer across jobs
    > Multiple Characters: average of them all
    reflective of a "player profile"

    Rank Average (Job): 468.25
    (748 + 119 + 213 + 886) / 4

    Rank Average (All): 2248.25
    (7775 + 119 + 213 + 886) / 4

    Total Progress: 2060
    (92 + 884 + 392 + 785 - 93)

    And to show that level isn't everything, here's Hotguy6pack as reference:
    Rank Average (Job/All): 395
    (1 + 1118 + 66) /3 (cards N/A)
    Total Progress: 1305 <--- (I beat him here!)
    (200 + 481 + 666 + 0 - 42)
