so its been a long time since i been on this website, i see the forum layout is different and now there is a star with numbers of what i assume is a system rank or points, can anyone care to explain to me about this or link me to a forum topic that explains it?
The stars thing is official but still under development. All we know about it came by reverse-engineering and brute force testing as the admins have been pretty secretive about it xD
To give you a summary, The stars are a new stat (duh), you earn stars with quests and merits.
Each easy quest is worth 10 stars
Each medium, 25
each hard, 50
each insane, 200
Each merit is also worth 50 stars.
Bear in mind that due to a bug, if you've completed a quest a long time ago and that quest's difficulty is changed later you will not receive the balance in stars. boppins plans to fix it before the system is fully implemented.
