Status updates improvements

You finally reached Gold only to fall back to Silver 3 days later? Frustrating problems like that won't happen anymore thanks to our new status-update system, which provides more transparency and predictability.

This kind of scenario has been seen a lot in the forums lately:
Wednesday. John Doe, a assiduous player, finally reaches gold status and is looking forward to the weekend, when he'll be able to read the abundant strategy articles and watch the videos that he now has access to.
Friday. A new status update. Suprisingly, the strong day he had 4 weeks ago (when he was able to play all day thanks to his wife going to the wellness center with her friends) has disappeared from the count, so he's back down to silver!
John Doe is sad - he was so happy to finally be able to read the gold articles and improve his game.

This is now over!
Status upgrades will still be daily, but downgrades will take place only at the end of the month.
This means that you'll at least keep your status till month's end, even if you didn't earn enough points in the last four weeks according to the old system.
This will make planning easier for you, since you'll be sure to have your status at the end of the month, and can only rise to a higher status.

How can I reach what status?
Here you can see the requirements for each status level :

	Status	Requirements for advancing	Until when?
	Basic	none	permanent
	Bronze	at least 1 SP	permanent
	Silver	100-799 StrategyPoints in the last 4 weeks	At least until month's end
	Gold	800-2.999 StrategyPoints in the last 4 weeks	At least until month's end
	Platinum	3.000-7.499 StrategyPoints in the last 4 weeks	At least until month's end
	Diamond	7.500+ StrategyPoints in the last 4 weeks	At least until month's end
	Black	500.000+ StrategyPoints total (Lifetime)	permanent

What's the point in having a higher status?
The higher your status, the more your game benefits. You'll have access to more articles, videos, coachings, and discussion forums, so with each status rise you'll learn more aspects and details of the game, that will always be adapted to your level and that will be very helpful to move on.
Black members keep their status for life.

Note
This change means that manual status upgrades in case players were just a few points from the next level are now superfluous. Indeed, all that is needed is to play for a few days to get a quick upgrade. This means that the support team won't be overloaded, and will have more time for all your other tickets!
