Neighborhood Rating Details
Upland is all about player-owned communities coming together, and Neighborhood Ratings are here to reward Nodes that pull together to build something special. Neighborhood Ratings measure the progress and development of each Neighborhood, or “Node,” in Upland. To do this, every Node is evaluated by a five-part rating system every month. The five factors are:
- Average Spark Hours (SpH) allocated per property for building Structures (e.g., Residential Structures, Showrooms, Factories, Stadiums, Landmarks)
- Average number of residents with a designated Upland Home Address per property
- Average number of Metaventures per property
- Average SpH allocated for Map Assets (aka Outdoor Decor) manufacturing per property
- Average UPX contributed to the Community Pool each month per property
Neighborhood Ratings are calculated and updated once a day. We understand that these factors might give smaller Nodes an advantage since it might be easier to achieve higher “per property” statistics. To level the field, we’ve introduced a “grading curve” to the calculation that gives larger Nodes an additional multiplier to level the field. The goal is to ensure a fair scoring system for Neighborhood Ratings. As such, there may be adjustments to the grading curve or the evaluation factors above as we measure results.
