So we've enabled accounts on the gameserver again, and you can sign into the game server with your hedgewars.org account.. but... what's the point right?

Well right now, there isn't one, beyond reserving your name so no one else can use it.
But I'm just going to give you a little bit of info on what we're working on, and what you'll be able to do with a registered account in the near future.

First of all, there is standard stat tracking.
Your wins, losses, rank and other stats will be recorded and you'll be able to view them on Hedgewars.org

Next, we're implemented a leveling system, and XP.
The system will be very similar to ones you find in RPG style games, every time you make a kill your hog will earn a certain amount of XP (this XP increases when you play against other, higher level players).



When you earn enough XP, your level will increase.
Your level is displayed in the Hedgewars.org Lobby beside your name.
Having a higher level will *not* make you stronger
But when you reach certain levels you will unlock special commands that allow you to show off your high level without affecting the game.

You can also lose XP for killing team mates, or suicidal turns.
You will be able to disable XP loss for your match, but you will also be unable to gain XP in these matches.

We will also be adding information on your various achievements to your stats page.
For example, if you win the current Hedgewars tournament, you will not only gain the prizes already mentioned, but you will get a bonus amount of XP (when the fearture is implemented) and "Tournament Winner" will be added to your account page.

This is just a taste of what we have planned for you.
