# Criteria for Ranks

All **newly registered players** will receive a **zero** rank, with an opportunity to always increase the rank if certain requirements are met. **Other players** that have been in Walken for a while prior to the introduction of the Ranking System will have their Ranks ***calculated and assigned*** in accordance with their progress and criteria met. There’s always room for improvement and an incentive to score higher to get to the next Rank and unlock special bonuses.
