# Prologue
As previously mentioned in past blog posts, we started developing XP as a part of a small discord community with less than 50 members. A few years later, it is now our most successful project by far, but with success comes responsibility and a lot of work.
In other words, XP has become way too time consuming for us over the past year. Additionally, we can't spend as much time on this project as we used to, which is one of the reasons why XP has been unreliable for a lot of people lately.

# Current state
The XP community is bigger than ever. With nearly 19k servers and nearly 6m users, we wouldn't want to see this project to go offline just like that. That's why we will keep hosting the project until we found someone that is ready to continue the journey with all of you. Unless absolutely critical, we do not plan on updating the service as it is running relatively stable without major bugs to fix.

# The Future
From now on, we are looking for someone to continue XP in the future. Even though we do not profit from XP personally, the project is self-sustaining and can even be quite profiting for a small team of developers. 
We're looking to find someone, who is interested in continuing our mission of providing a feature-rich and free experience for everyone on Discord while maintaining  the privacy-first focus of the XP project. If you think, you got what it takes, you might be interested in reading the section below.

### Continue our journey
You will get full access to the XP GitHub organisation which includes all of the current code of the project, including BugBot and Accountant. Of course, we will also transfer the official XP Bot account to you. If you're interested in continuing BugBot and Accountant, we can also transfer those to you. A purchase would also include:
- Full ownership of our current infrastructure, including backup servers (Currently hosting over contabo.com)
- Full ownership of the XP Discord community
- Full ownership of XPs assets such as branding and domains, 
- Login details for our Patreon and Brand Twitter account

If you're looking to buy, we can discuss further details with you or your company over any of the following contact options:
- Mail: contact@namespace.media
- Discord (Management): angelsflyinhell#2077 


XP has been an amazing journey, but it's time to go. Learn how you can be part of its journey in the future!

It's time to move on.

# Transparency is key
We want to take a moment to talk about a core value that we hold dear to our hearts: transparency. As a team, we believe that transparency is key to building trust and fostering a positive relationship with our users.

Over the years, we have added paid features to our bot. We carefully selected these features to ensure they were not essential for day-to-day use but rather nice-to-haves. We understand that once money is involved, it's natural to have some level of distrust. You want to know where your money is going and expect the best value and service for your hard-earned cash.

We are committed to providing the best possible service to our users, but we are not always able to deliver. As a team, we work on this project as a hobby alongside our day-to-day jobs. Sometimes it's hard for us to spend the few extra hours fixing issues on XP, but we're doing our best to make sure you have the best experience possible.

We understand that this might not mean a lot to you, and you might have to wait a couple of months for features to get fixed. That's why we want to be completely transparent with you about our earnings, expenses, and liquidity buffer.

So, without further ado, here's a rundown of every service we need to pay and every dollar we earn by offering premium features.

## Open cards
The following data has been last updated on **11. March 2023**.

### Earnings

- **Patreon income:** 268,- € /month
- **Patreon Count:** 49 Patreons
- **Discord Boosts:** 10

### Expenses:

- **Server Infrastructure:** 127,- € /month
- **Developers on payroll:** 0,- € /month

This gives us a liquidity buffer of about 141,- € /month for unexpected shortcomings.

As you can see, we do not pay ourselves a penny. We purely want this to stay a fun hobby project. We hope that by being open about our earnings and expenses, you can see that we are committed to providing the best possible service to our users while maintaining transparency and trust.

In addition to being transparent about our earnings and expenses, we also believe in the power of open source. We're committed to taking transparency to the next level by open sourcing our stack part by part.

## One last thing

This has been a long-time discussion, and we're finally beginning to make it happen. We're excited to share that our production repository for this very Dashboard is now available for anyone to clone, run, experiment with, and contribute to.

We understand that not everyone is familiar with open source development, so we've provided clear instructions on how to get started in the repository's readme file. We hope that by open sourcing our code, we can collaborate with you to improve and innovate our services together.

<div style="border-radius: 10px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow: 0px 4px 5px -2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);"><a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/xp-bot/dashboard">![xp-bot/dashboard](https://opengraph.githubassets.com/a99694b784f86a20b630f73453377e231be6f11183e84defd20207c8b0b60a86/xp-bot/dashboard)</a></div>

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to working with you all to make our bot the best it can be.

Best regards,  
your XP Development Team ❤️

We emphasize transparency and open-source development to build trust with you by sharing our earnings and expenses and open-sourcing our code.

Transparency is key

# Dashboard V2 Public Beta
The new XP Dashboard is finally here, and we couldn't be more excited to share all the new features and improvements with you! We've spent the last few months working tirelessly to make the best XP Dashboard yet, and we think you're going to love what we've come up with.

### Major goals
One of the major goals we had with the new XP Dashboard was to make it more accessible and user-friendly for mobile users. With the rise of mobile devices, it's more important than ever to ensure that our users can easily configure XP on the go. We've completely redesigned the interface with mobile users in mind, making it much easier to navigate and use on a small screen.

### Highly requested features
We've also made some specific changes to make editing ranking card on mobile devices more easier. Now you can better edit your ranking card directly from your mobile device, this was a requested feature and we've made sure that it's now a reality in the new version.

### Blazingly fast
In addition to being more mobile-friendly, we've also made the new XP Dashboard incredibly fast and optimized. The page will adapt to your device theme (dark/light), and we've optimized the code to make the whole page load more quickly. This means you can get your server set up in a matter of seconds, without any delays or waiting.  
Oh, and have we mentioned? It's now a fully optimized PWA, making the experience even more seamless.

### Try it out
All in all, the new XP Dashboard is a major improvement over the previous version, and we're confident that you'll love all the new features and improvements. We've put a lot of time and effort into making this the best XP Dashboard yet, and we hope you find it as useful as we do.

You can join the closed beta by subscribing to [XP Premium](https://qwq.sh/ljt41f) right now ...or take a look at some screenshots below!

# XP Premium Subscription Changes
> Before we start: If you're already subscribed to XP Premium, these changes won't affect you. You can just continue to use XP Premium as usual.

## So what did change?
In the past, XP Premium had to be paid at the first day of each month. Additionally to that, you had to pay at the first day of your subscription. This meant, that you basically paid for a full month even though you didn't actually get features for a full month. 
Another problem with this was, that you could subscribe to XP Premium at the 30th of a month and then pay again one day later at the 1st of the next month. And nobody likes paying twice for one thing. So we changed it!

Instead of paying every 1st of each month, you'll now be charged in a 1 month cycle. So if you subscribe on the 15th, you will only be charged at the 15th of the month after that.

## Why was it different before?
We actually knew about this issue, but we couldn't really do anything about it as we use [Patreon](https://patreon.com) as our payment provider. The new subscription model just launched a few days ago, so we made sure to enable it as soon as possible.

A few details about the new XP Premium subscriptions.

Premium Subscription Changes

# Quality Of Life Changes: September 2022

Hello there!  
Today, we want to announce a few small improvements for XP that are available from now on.

These include changes to voting, free premium and more.

Let's get started!

## Less Voting

We heard you. Voting is annoying when it comes to changing server settings for XP. Therefore, with the latest update, you are no longer required to vote in order to save settings on your dashboard.

Voting still applies to Games commands though. If you want to remove voting for your Account entirely, consider supporting XP by subscribing to [XP Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

## Getting Premium is even easier now

Just recently, we added a way to get XP Premium for free. Our initial requirements were Level 400 for User Premium and Level 500 for Server Premium. We think that these levels are quite high and hard to achieve. From now on, you'll only need to reach Level 100 for User Premium and Level 150 for 1x Server Premium on our [official Discord Community](https://discord.xp-bot.net).

## Statuspage improvements

To make announcing outages, incidents and more even more simple and to have everything in one place, you can now also view status reports on the [XP Status Site](https://xp-bot.net/status). Status reports will also be shown in #status-reports on Discord as usual.

# Thank you for using XP

Seriously, we mean it. The past month has been the most successful month for XP ever and the bot continues to power more Communities every day because of your support!

Thank you for using XP in your Community.

* The XP Team

Learn more about recent changes to voting, free premium and more.

Quality Of Life Changes: September 2022

# Guide: Moderation Modules
In this short guide, we will cover XPs Moderation Modules.
These kind of modules can do a variety of things to improve your Discord Community.

If you want to learn more about **XP & Game Modules**, click [here](https://xp-bot.net/blog/guide_xp__game_modules_1655300944128).

> **Want to support XP?**
In order to cover the costs for hosting and developing the Bot, we're providing additional Premium Features for donators.
[Read more](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

# Modules explained
XP is split into a variety of different modules. By enabling one, you're activating a specific part of the Bot. And if you don't want specific features, you can simply turn that module off.

# The Moderation Modules
To find the Moderation Modules, go to your Servers' Settings and select the **Modules Tab**.

![Moderation Modules](http://cdn.namespace.media/s/EGyBeZAstWAET3m/download/chrome_qeP1isgVT2.png)

### Autonick
Autonick is one of the most used Modules of XP. With its features, you can show a Users' Level in their Nickname on your Server. This makes it especially easy to view someone's level as well as having a linear design over your Community.
The Autonick Module can be further extended by "Autonick Use Prefix" and "Autonick Show String", which are available with [Server Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

### Single Rank Role
If you're using Level Roles in your Discord Community, you might also want to enable this Module, where a User will only get the highest available Level Role instead of collecting all available Roles including lower ones.
You can further extend this Module by enabling "Remove Reached Levelroles", which makes it so already reached Level Roles wil also be removed, if someone's xp have been reduced. This extension is available over [Server Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

### User Ranking Override
This Module comes in handy, if someone in your Server disabled their Ranking, which normally would prevent them from earning xp in your Discord Server. By enabling this Module, XP will reward them with xp again, but will still not show them in leaderboards.

### Maximum Level
By default, XP has no maximum Level. If you still want to have one, you can enable this Module. You can set your Servers' Maximum Level over the **Values Tab**.

### Reset User On Leave
Because doing this manually can be a lot of work, we're offering an automation for this for Premium Servers.
The Module automatically resets someone's xp and Level, when they leave your Community.
This Module is only available over [Server Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

### Enable Commands In Threads
XP will always reward xp in Threads, but you might also want to use XPs Commands in these. With this Module, you can view & use XPs Slash Commands in all types of Channels.
This Module is only available over [Server Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

## Outro
We hope this helped you in setting up XP for your Community!
If you need help or support around the XP Discord Bot, you can also join our [Discord Community](https://discord.xp-bot.net).

Thank you for using XP ❤️

# Guide: Levelroles and Boosts

In this guide, we will cover how levelroles and boosted roles work in your community!

But first of all, what even is a levelrole?  
A levelrole is a role on your Discord community, which is set to be assigned to someone when they reach a specific level. You can set if a user should collect or just get the highest available role and boosts allow you to set special features for (level)roles. This can be utilised to enhance your server in a variety of ways and will most likely increase your servers activity by a lot.

# How to set up levelroles

To configure levelroles, head over to your [Dashboard](https://xp-bot.net/me/servers) and select your server. From there you can go to the Roles tab.

![Roles Tab](https://qwq.sh/nxyt96)

On the right side, you can now view a small interface to set up roles. As soon as you've set roles, you can save your changes. After that you are good to go and everything should work as expected!

![Set a role](https://qwq.sh/y1lv1m)

### Troubleshooting

> You cannot set two roles for one level. Doing so will overwrite the previously set role.
>
> If your levelroles don't work, make sure XPs bot role is above all other roles and has the **Manage Roles** permission.
>
> Your roles might take up to 30 minutes to show up on your dashboard.

# Boosts

Boosts enable you to reward a user with more xp each time automatically. These work by adding a specific percentage to the gained xp amount.

So if a user gains 100xp and their boost is 20%, they will gain 120%. If two or more boosts apply at the same time, they can stack, allowing for very detailed xp rewards.

To get started, head over to the Boosts tab.

![Boosts Tab](https://qwq.sh/80tyj1)

Similar to levelroles, you can then select roles, textchannels and even voicechannels. Simply configure a percentage, select a role or channel and save your changes. Now you're good to go! Boosts work almost instantly after saving.

# Finishing words

Great! You're now able to set up levelroles and boosted textchannels, roles and voicechannels.  
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask on our [Official Discord Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net). 

**To support XP, you can also subscribe to** [**XP Premium**](https://premium.xp-bot.net) **and get exclusive features for your Account and Server!**

# Guide: Announcements
This guide will teach you everything you need to know to master XPs Announcement feature.  

## First of all: What are Announcements?
Announcements allow you to automatically inform your users about reaching a new level in XP.  
By default, announcements are already set up and ready to use. Whenever a user reaches a new level via text chat, the following message is issued in the corresponding channel: 

![](http://cdn.namespace.media/s/Q6t5e4w9sMCZwdG/download/msedge_2EGi9U2qpg.png)


If that's all you wanted to know - have a nice day!

If you want to customize the design and behavior of this message, keep scrolling!

## Customization
Once you've opened the tab on your servers dashboard, you'll see two panels in front of you.
### Announcement Settings
- **Current Channel**  
    This option allows you to decide whether the Announcement should be sent into the Text Channel where the user has gained the XP that made them reach a new level.  
    <br/>
    Disabling this option will give you the option to select a specific channel, where Announcements should be printed.

- **Ping Users**  
  By enabling this option, your users will be pinged once they reach a new level.  
  _Essentially making sure, they are not missing out on that very important information!_

### Announcement Message Designer
This Panel allows you to give your Announcement a personal touch.  
By using the provided parameters below the "Message Editor", you can display:
- `{TAG}` The Users Tag 
- `{MNT}` The Users Mention 
- `{OLDLVL}` The Users old level 
- `{LVL}` The Users new level 
- `{CMB}` How many levels the user climbed 

You can also include custom emotes into the message by providing its name and ID.  
For example: ``<:xp_info:818532849598201886>``  

_You can get this by sending your emoji with a `\` in front of it._  

![](https://cdn.namespace.media/s/2fwX7w4SzRtwXZQ/download/Discord_Ip0hn9u8XZ.gif)

## Wrapping things up
That's it! You should now be able to make your announcements look and feel amazing in your community!  
Tho - as always, please do not hesitate to ask us on our official [Support Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net/) if there are still some unanswered questions.

A quick guide on how to master XPs announcement feature.

## Are you an avid Discord user looking for ways to enhance your experience with XP?
If you are, then you'll be happy to know that there is a way to get lifetime Premium access for free! In this blog post, we'll discuss how you can obtain this exclusive reward and make the most out of your Discord experience.

Now, let's move on to the exciting part – how to get lifetime Premium access for free! On our official [Discord Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net/), we use level roles to reward active users. Recently, we introduced two new rewards – User Premium and 1x Server Premium. Here's how you can obtain these rewards:
<br/><br/>
### User Premium:
To get User Premium, you need to reach Level 100[^1] on the Official XP Server. This means you'll need to be an active member of the server for a while and earn XP by participating in various activities.[^2]  
These activities can range from chatting with other members, joining voice calls, playing games, and more. Once you reach Level 100, you'll automatically receive User Premium as a reward, giving you lifetime access to Discord Premium.  

![](https://qwq.sh/0jor7s)

### 1x Server Premium:
To obtain 1x Server Premium, you need to reach Level 150[^1] on the Official XP Server. This reward is similar to User Premium, but it gives you access to Server Premium for one of your server. This means that if you're a server owner, you can use this reward to upgrade your server to Premium and enjoy all the perks that come with it.  

![](https://qwq.sh/hfc2d5)

So, what are you waiting for? Start leveling up on the Official XP Server to get your hands on these exciting rewards!

[^1]: We reserve the right to always change this offer in the future
[^2]: Levels **must not** be reached by abusing bugs

We're launching new ways to obtain XP Premium!

# Introducing ``/settings``
With ``/settings`` you can now view your most important settings directly in your Discord client and pin them as you like!

This way your users can see what roles they can get without you having to take an extra annoying screenshot.

## How does it work?
The command is very intuitive! You simply type ``/settings``, and discord directly suggests a selection of possible settings.

# XP Support Applications 2022

With the recent growth of XP, there is more and more demand for help in the Community. Due to that, we have decided to search for additional XP Support Members.

Applications will stay open all the time and we will review them on demand. So if you didn't get accepted in the first review process, there is no need to delete your application. We might still contact you at a later time.

## What we're searching for

XP has a great focus on providing high-quality & fast Support. That means, that you should at least be somewhat active on Discord every day. You should also have a good amount of usage experience with the Bot and the Website. If you already helped people on our Discord Server, that also makes getting accepted a lot easier as we already know about your qualities as a helping hand.

Lastly, it would be best, if you'd have a good knowledge of the English language as we're communicating in English here at the XP Team.

If this is you, please fill out our application form here: [XP Support Application 2022](https://forms.gle/2iKvgUh8FJeUDLss9)

Unsure if you should apply? We're especially searching for someone from a timezone that is not CET or GMT. It's not required to be from another timezone, but it's a good point we're looking out for when considering your application.

We are opening XP Support Applications again. Here's everything you need to know.

# XP Branding Update
XP will soon serve over 8,000 Servers. This means, that XP will be growing in popularity a lot over the next years. With the updated Branding, we want to appear more professional and visually appealing as a Brand and to represent XPs development.
We have also updated the overall look of the XP Website.
As often requested, we finally had the time to develop a Feature Section on the Homepage of XP.
It's supposed to list the most important functions of XP as well as a few starting guides for new users.
Besides that, we have also introduced a new Premium Features list at [xp-bot.net/premium](https://xp-bot.net/premium). This page is meant to showcase XP Premium Plans and their most important perks.

We spent a lot of time designing these new changes to fit a professional brand look, but we're always open for feedback! Let us know about your opinion on our [Official XP Discord Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net).

And as always..Thank you for using XP ❤️
We wouldn't be here without you.

# Guide: Values
In this comprehensive Guide, you will learn everything around values in XP.


> **Want to support XP?**
In order to cover the costs for hosting and developing the Bot, we're providing additional Premium Features for donators.
[Read more](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

# Values in XP
Values can be used to control different XP Modules. XP uses Values for calculations, cooldowns and other useful things. 
We also have Guides for [Moderation Modules](https://xp-bot.net/blog/guide_moderation_modules_1656074394928) and [XP & Game Modules](https://xp-bot.net/blog/guide_xp__game_modules_1655300944128).

# Essential Values
Most important are the **Essential Values** - hence the name.
Available Values are Message XP,  Message Cooldown, Voice XP, Voice Join Cooldown and Reaction XP. Here's what they do:

> **Message XP** <br/>
> This value controls the amount of xp a user will get, when they write a message in your Server. In order for this to work, you will need to enable the Message XP Module.

> **Message Cooldown** <br/>
> With this value, you can control how often xp is given. This value is measured in seconds. Using 60 means, that your Server Members will be able to receive xp once every minute.

> **Voice XP** <br/>
> Similar to Message XP, this value controls how much XP is given per Minute spent in Voicechats. Requires the Voice XP Module.

> **Voice Join Cooldown** <br/>
> This value means the amount of time in seconds a user will need to spent in a Voicechat before receiving xp. This is especially useful to prevent Join/Leave spamming.

> **Reaction XP** <br/>
> With the Reaction XP Module enabled, this value will control the amount of xp given per Reaction. This value cannot be controlled with cooldowns.

# Game Values
XP features a couple of simple Games to earn XP. The following Values depend on the Game Module, so be sure to enable it first.

> **Loot XP** <br/>
> Controls the amount given per `/loot`.

> **Fish XP** <br/>
> Controls the amount given per `/fish`.

> **Roll XP** <br/>
> Controls the amount given per `/roll`.

> **Game Cooldown** <br/>
> Controls the seconds to wait after using one of the Game Commands. Available with [XP Premium](https://xp-bot.net).

> **Trivia XP** <br/>
> This value means the amount of xp given per trivia game.

> **Trivia Cooldown** <br/>
> Similar to all other Cooldowns, this controls the minimum waiting time between two trivia commands.

# Additional Values
> **Maximum Daily XP** <br/>
> With this value, you can set a maximum xp reward for `/daily`. Usually, a user gets `250 * streak in days` xp. If you set a maximum daily xp. They will only get the limit of xp once they reach it.

> **Maximum Level** <br/>
> By default, XP does not limit your levels. If you don't want infinite levels, you can set a maximum level here.

# XP: Top Tier Leveling Solution
The XP Discord Bot has by far the most features for top-tier leveling in your Discord Community:
Level Roles, Voicechat XP, Level-Up Messages, unlimited Levels, **full customisability** and a lot more!
All accessible over our convenient Dashboard and **completely free to use**!

Here's a list of XPs most important features.
#
## Modules
Modules can be toggled on or off, just as you desire. Here's a list of XPs most important modules:
- Message XP
    > Let users get XP by writing messages.
- Voice XP
    > Let users get XP by talking in Voicechannels.
- Reaction XP
    > Let users get XP by reacting to messages.
- Autonick
    > Automatically show the level of each user in their nicknames.
- Leaderboard
    > Shows the most active members of your Community.
- Single Rank Role
    > Removes previous Level Roles if a higher one has been achieved.
- Games & Trivia
    > Let your users earn XP by playing games.

And that is by far not everything! [Try XP](https://get.xp-bot.net).

## Custom Level System
Unlike other leveling bots, XP offers full control over its Level System.
You can customise the amount of xp rewarded for activity in your Server as well as cooldowns and more!

## Roles, Boosts and more
Besides Level Roles, XP also offers Boosted Roles, Chats and Voicechannels, where your members can get additional xp on top of their usually rewarded points! On the other hand, if you want to prevent someone from gaining xp, we offer Ignored Chats, Voicechannels, Roles and even Ignored Categories.

## Detailed Logs
In case you need to keep track of what is happening in your Server, you can enable detailed logging for Voicechat activity, XP rewards, Level-Ups and more!

## Admin Tools
With our easy to use Admin Tools, you can give, remove and set someone's Level by yourself. This comes especially handy with Giveaways or Competitions in your Discord Community.

## Reliable Support
If you ever need help setting up XP on your Community, we offer quick and easy customer support over our official [Discord Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net). Together with the XP Community, we are happy to help you with any potential questions.

XP: Top Tier Leveling Solution

# Guide: XP & Game Modules
In this quick guide, you learn how to successfully utilise most of XP's Modules in your Discord Community.

> **Want to support XP?**
In order to cover the costs for hosting and developing the Bot, we're providing additional Premium Features for donators.
[Read more](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

# Modules explained
XP is split into a variety of different modules. By enabling one, you're activating a specific part of the Bot. And if you don't want specific features, you can simply turn that module off.

# The XP Modules
These can be found in your Servers' Settings in the **Modules** Tab.

![The four XP Modules](https://qwq.sh/h9jvcd)

### Message XP
The Message XP Module enables your Community to gain xp by writing messages in your Server. The overall behaviour of this Module can be controlled over the **Values** Tab, where you can set the xp amount per message, cooldowns and more.
We will cover this section of the Dashboard in another guide soon.

### Voice XP
If you want to reward time spent in your Servers' Voicechats, this is the module you're searching for. Just as in the Message XP module, you can configure more options in the **Values** Tab.

### Reaction XP
With this module enabled, your Community can also gain rewards through reactions on messages. If your Community reacts to messages a lot, we recommend keeping this modules' rewards relatively low.

### Ignore AFK
This module is an addition to the Voice XP module: If you have set an AFK Channel on your Discord Server, inactive users will be moved into this voicechat, if they're not interacting with their current voice channel. This comes in handy when you want to prevent AFK farming for xp in your Community as it prevents users from gaining xp in your Servers' AFK Channel.

> **Pro Tip**:
If you set one of the modules' xp rewards to a higher value, your Community will start interacting through this way more.
With this in mind, you can set up voicechat-/message-focused Discord Servers with ease.

# Game Modules
![Game Modules](https://qwq.sh/phahkt)

### Games
The Games module features commands like `/roll`, `/loot` and `/fish`. By enabling this module, you allow your Community to gain xp by playing these luck based games. You can further configure this module in the **Values** Tab.

### Trivia
Similar to the Games module, this module features the `/trivia` command. By playing this game, you gain xp by correctly answering a variety of questions. As always, you can further configure this module in the **Values** Tab.

## Outro
And that's it for this guide! If you're looking out for more blog posts like this, stay tuned! Guides like these will be published at least once a week.

# Why does my Leaderboard look weird?

You might see a lot of 'Unknown Username's and missing profile pictures. This is, because we've just updated the leaderboard to work a lot quicker and more reliable.
Over the coming days, the issue of missing data will resolve by itself, so don't worry!

<center><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/536983670523953162/984518148604706846/unknown.png" alt="Leaderboard with missing data"/></center>

Why does my Leaderboard look weird?

# Getting Started with XP7
In this guide, we are showing you how to use most of the new features in the latest update of XP.

# Slash Commands
Instead of typing `.xp rank`, you can now write `/rank`.
By doing that, you will also be able to view a small interface with more information about a specific command.

![Discord Text Bar](https://angelsflyinhell.dev/img/rankcmd.png)
> `@XP` and `.xp help` have been removed. If you need a list of all XP Commands, you can simply type `/`. For viewing links and info about XP, use `/about`.

> If you can't see XPs Slash Commands on your Server, use [this link](https://get.xp-bot.net) to invite it again. Commands should be available within 1 hour after this step. **You do not need to remove the Bot from your Server for this to work.**

# Server Settings
You might have already noticed, that XP has a lot less commands than before. That is, because all Server Settings have moved to the [Dashboard](https://xp-bot.net/me/servers) for better accessibility.

![Part of the Dashboards' Server Overview](https://angelsflyinhell.dev/img/dashboard1.png)
> If you want to change a Servers' Settings, simply click the 'Configure XP' Button. Over the small Button on the right, you can also directly go to the Server Leaderboard.

# Language Settings
If you want to change the language of the XP Bot, you can do this through your [User Settings](https://xp-bot.net/me).
If you select `Client Default`, the Bot will use the language of your Discord Client (Supports both Mobile and Desktop Versions), as long as XP has been translated into the selected language.

We will further expand the range of translations in the future. More information about the Translator Program will follow soon.

![Language Settings in the User Settings](https://angelsflyinhell.dev/img/dashboard2.png)
> This will only change the language of the Discord Bot. If you need translations of the website, please use options provided by your Browser.

# Unlocking further Features
For premium features for your Server, you can subscribe to [Server Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).
After that, you can go to your [User Settings](https://xp-bot.net/me/premium) and select your Server.
As soon as the blue border appears, Server Premium has been applied (You don't need to press 'Save changes' for this).

![Premium Server selection](https://angelsflyinhell.dev/img/dashboard3.png)

If you still have questions about XP, you can always join our [Discord Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net). Our Community and our official Support Team are always happy to help!

# XP7: The Update
Update 7.0.0 is finally here!
The new version will be going live on your Community Server within the coming 24 hours.
In this Blog Post, we want to talk about what's new and what to look out for in the coming weeks.

## Recent Outages
Before we dive into new features, we want to take a quick moment to apologize.
The past weeks have been rough for all of us, especially the XP Team. If you've been active on our official [Discord Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net) you might already now this, but XP had multiple issues with being a reliable service lately.
These were mainly connected to updated features on Discord, which had yet to be implemented into XP.
The XP Team did its best to meet these issues and to resolve them as fast as possible. With XP7, we can ensure, that these issues won't happen ever again. We thank you for your amazing patience and support while our Team did everything possible to bring XP back online and we are sorry for everyone encountered issues through XP in these times.

## New Features
You've all been waiting for it - and here it is:
### The XP Dashboard
With the release of XP7, the Dashboard will finally be available for everyone. This will come especially handy with the overall structure change of XP.

### Server Settings
Configuring XP for your Community is now easier than ever.
With XP7, Server Settings will only be available through the Dashboard.
This brings all settings into one place and removes the need for complicated and time consuming commands, so you can actually spend time having fun with your Community instead of reading through help pages.

### Premium
Our Premium Plans have been reworked completely. [Read more](https://xp-bot.net/blog/xp7_whats_new_with_premium_1654567517610).

### Translations
To make XP as accessible as possible, you will be able to use XP in your native language. With the help of our amazing translators, we are happy to announce that XP will be available in German, Turkish and Portuguese. Over time, we will expand our Translators Program to cover as many languages as possible.

And that is by far not everything! There's so much more new with the release of XP7, which cannot all be covered within this blog post, but we encourage you to find out yourself, XP7 is already waiting for you to explore and have fun!

## Upcoming Tutorials
If you've been feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the features of XP: We got you! Over the coming weeks (& months), we will be publishing easy to follow guides and tutorials covering all XP Features, so you can reach your goal as fast as possible.

## Outro
Thank you for reading this far! We are really happy to present XP7 to you and your Community. And we could not be more thankful for your amazing support. Together with our Patrons, you keep XP running, suggest features and help us improve the Bot.

Thank you for using XP ❤️

# The Future of XP

In this blog post, we'll be talking about plans, updates & changes for 2022.

# Prologue
XP started as a small bot project for a few friends and their discord server way back in April of 2020. A month later, it was made available to everyone, completely configurable and free,
although the main idea stayed the same. A small bot, for a small amount of people, that would be interested in a more in-depth levelling bot than what was currently available.

Well, the year ended with XP being on almost 1,000 Servers. We built up a small team of developers and started 2021 with a huge update that would improve a lot of existing features while also introducing a lot more through the year. The Bot was starting to grow faster and faster as the year progressed, with over 4,000 Servers at the start of 2022.

When XP started as the small bot in 2020, it was supposed to be a small side-project of mine while working on other things. Now we're spending almost every day working on this Bot and several other services and features around the bot. It has basically become a full time job for most of us even though we don't profit from XP commercially.

# Premium
This year, we want to extend our XP Premium plan with quite a few useful and unique features. But don't worry, we understand that paying for a Discord Bot isn't possible for everyone. That means, that XP will stay as free & feature-rich as it is right now and we will keep publishing completely free features, so everyone can enjoy the Bot without needing to pay.

One of the main Premium features coming to XP will be a **Statistics Tab**, where you will be able to track your Servers most active users and also your activity per Server.
More info about this feature and many more will be following in the coming half of 2022, so stay tuned for that!

# The next generation of XP
In 2021, we released XP6 (Version 6.0.0). XP7 (Version 7.0.0) is coming to your communities this year. Here's a list of things, that will be new:

 - Full slash commands integration
   > XP will be fully usable over the new Discord Slash commands. This makes the general usage of commands very easy and offers an overview of commands right in your Discord client!
 - Focusing on the Dashboard
   > Until now, configuring XP was quite a hassle. You were forced to use complicated commands in your Discord chat and to really get the most out of XP, you had to go a long way to set everything up. With the next version of XP, configuring is just as easy as going to the Dashboard. All settings-related functions will move to the Dashboard with the next big Update.
 - Language Support
   > We're finally introducing XP in more languages than just English. Our goal is to make XP as approachable as possible and translations will improve its accessibility by a lot.

And more info coming soon! 
We will keep you updated on the development of XP as always and we are looking forward to powering your Community another successful year. 

Thank you for choosing XP! ❤️


XP7 is coming to your communities this year. Here's a summary of what's going to change.

The Future of XP

# Getting to know RankingCard Badges
Hey, you may have seen a RankingCard with some of these symbols in the past.

![Ranking Card in Discord](https://qwq.sh/h15ajm)

And then wondered, "What are those things? And how come I don't have these images on my RankingCard?? 😡😭"

### Well, let me explain!
In XP v6.1.0 we have introduced the new Ranking Cards and with it the Badge System.
It offers us a way to reward users and colleagues for contributing to, or supporting XP.

> Each Badge has its own meaning and its own way to get it.

<br/>

A short introduction to the RankingCard Badges.

Getting to know Badges

# XP Dashboard Update to v0.1.7
## Expandable Leaderboard
We all know this problem: We are on the smartphone and want to look how many XP we still need to overtake the next user. Well... zoom out and turn the phone to read the exact xp count.

Well, no more of that! Starting with the latest update, you can read all data directly in the list by simply tapping on a user!

> Thank you **y a g g y** for suggesting this! We've added the <a href="https://xp-bot.net/blog/Getting_to_know_RankingCard_Badges_1645122538477">**Feature Smith** Badge</a> to your Ranking Cards!

## Updated title font
We've updated the title font to make the dashboard feel a bit more - Juicy.

## Fixed the static name in the "Ranking Card Editor"
The Ranking Card Editor now shows the correct username and title.

## Removed the Module switched popup
_Tbh - it was quite annoying.._

XP Dashboard to v0.1.7

# Let's save your streaks using `.xp setstreak` !
Due to our recent maintenance some of you have unfortunately lost your beloved daily Streaks.

Of course, we can't leave it at that.

To remedy the situation, we are implementing a new command here without further ado!

## How do you use `.xp setstreak` ?
It's quite simple really. It behaves just like `.xp setxp` for example.  
- *`.xp setstreak <member> <streak>`*


> Please note that the executing user must have the **"GUILD_MANAGE"** permission tho.

If you're looking to get XP Premium for your Discord Community, Server Premium will be available starting at 7.99€/Month. If this seems a bit expensive at first, make sure to read further below to see all the features coming to this Premium Plan.
