Before we dive into Topbord, let’s take a trip down memory lane to understand the magic of RPG progression systems. If you’ve ever played classic RPGs like Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft, or Diablo, you know the pure dopamine rush of leveling up.
The Classic RPG Level-Up Mechanism
In traditional RPGs, progression follows a beautiful, addictive pattern:
- Start as a weak character
- Complete quests
- Gain experience points (XP)
- Level up
- Unlock new abilities
- Become increasingly powerful
Imagine your first moments in an RPG. You’re a novice adventurer, barely able to defeat a basic enemy. Fast forward 50 hours of gameplay, and you’re a legendary hero capable of taking down massive dragons. That’s the progression magic we’re bringing to Topbord!

Level-Up Mechanics: How It Actually Works
Let’s peek behind the curtain at our level-up system:
class TopbordLevelSystem {
constructor(user) {
this.user = user;
// Mathematical Formula: XP Required = Base XP * (Level^Difficulty Scaling Factor)
this.levels = [
{ level: 1, xpRequired: 100 }, // 100 * (1^1.5) = 100
{ level: 2, xpRequired: 250 }, // 100 * (2^1.5) ≈ 250
{ level: 3, xpRequired: 500 }, // 100 * (3^1.5) ≈ 500
// Exponentially increasing difficulty
];
}
// Mathematical XP Progression Formula
calculateXPFormula(baseXP = 100, level, difficultyScaling = 1.5) {
return Math.floor(baseXP * Math.pow(level, difficultyScaling));
}
calculateLevelProgress() {
const currentLevel = this.getCurrentLevel();
const xpForNextLevel = this.levels[currentLevel].xpRequired;
// Progress Percentage Formula: (Current XP / XP for Next Level) * 100
const progressPercentage =
(this.user.experience / xpForNextLevel) * 100;
return {
currentLevel,
xpProgress: this.user.experience,
xpRequired: xpForNextLevel,
progressPercentage
};
}
levelUp() {
const progress = this.calculateLevelProgress();
if (progress.progressPercentage >= 100) {
// Unlock new abilities!
this.unlockLevelRewards(progress.currentLevel + 1);
}
}
}

<code><em>// Simplified leaderboard ranking logic</em>
function calculateLeaderboardRanking(user, category) {
const categoryScores = {
'content_creation': user.contentScore,
'social_interaction': user.attractionScore,
'platform_wealth': user.wealth,
'total_experience': user.experience,
'luck_factor': user.luckScore
};
return {
userRank: getUserRankInCategory(user, category),
score: categoryScores[category],
nextRankProgress: calculateProgressToNextRank(user, category)
};
}</code>
