Instead of levels like many other MMOs, this game is more military like and uses the military ranks. You start out as a trainee and as you get EXP, you rank up. Your first rank up gives you 10,000 SP.You gain 20,000 SP when you reach staff sergeant class, and you get another 30,000 SP when you become master sergeant. You also obtain duffel bags that you can open at certain ranks.

If you have holes in your rank, it means that you forfeit or disconnect from games a lot. The more holes you have, the higher the ratio between your forfeits and total games.
