It was obvious that older players were on top of the list.. due to the more years they played, more collections they made, more buildings they owned.. would all add up into their XPs.
There was not only the XP Board.. there was also different boards where you could see: who had most friends, who received most gifts, who 'weekly' gained more xps, and finally top rating of the entire game.
It was not really a 'live' competition against other kingdoms.. it was just your placement in participating in the game. Maybe only the first 300/500 names would show.. but you could always 'search' and find your own personal name. This would inspiring players to continue playing and participating.. so their name would appear in a 'fixed shown' position.
What was very useful with these 'leaderboards' is you could see who was active in the game.. as after 10days.. if you did not open your game.. your name would disappear, as you were 'inactive', but, if ever you opened the game again and participated in something.. your name would be re-inserted and visible, if you had a 'visible' placement. Abandoned kingdoms, inactive kingdoms, broken games not being used anymore would all be elimated.
This might just be S8's solution on being able go judge 'active' and 'inactive' kingdoms. So many players start playing, but considerably few continue. With this system.. who plays daily.. can be seen.
Hope I have not set off confusion.. but someone asked how could 'leaderboards' work. This is an example of different games I know.
