Well, I have earned enough points to get the next rank. But no. I disconnnect from any server and..my points are reset to 51/80 again!! Apparently, a lot of people are getting the same problem. No ranks, unlocks..
That is it. I'm returning it. This is a horrible mess. Spyware, a XP Microsoft patch which can make it crash, now it's not even allowing you to rank properly, which is one of the things which makes it fun.
