Points & XP

Reward members for being active — the foundation for levels, leaderboards, and your shop.

XP rewards members for taking part — chatting, joining voice, reacting. It's the foundation that levels, leaderboards, quests, and your shop all build on. It's free.

What members earn XP for

You control the rates in the admin panel under XP:

• Messages — set the XP per message, a minimum message length (so one-character spam doesn't count), and a per-channel cooldown (so rapid-fire chatting doesn't farm XP).
• Voice — XP per minute, only while a member is actively in voice (muted or deafened members don't earn).
• Reactions — optional small bonus for reacting, and/or for receiving a reaction.

You can also limit XP to certain channels (an allowlist) or exclude some (a blocklist) — useful for keeping bot-spam or off-topic channels out.

Role XP boosts & no-XP roles

• Role multipliers — give a role bonus XP. Set your Server Booster or VIP role to 2 for double XP, for example. If a member has several boosted roles, the highest multiplier applies (they don't stack). Range is 0.1–10.
• No-XP roles — members with one of these roles earn no XP at all (handy for a muted/timeout role, or bot accounts you've given a role). They keep the XP they already have; they just stop earning more while they hold the role.

These apply to message and voice XP. Unlike MEE6, HoneyGate doesn't paywall role multipliers.

Optional: XP decay

You can turn on decay so inactive members slowly lose XP over time, with a grace period and a floor (a minimum they never drop below). It's off by default — most servers leave it off.

Two kinds of reward

It's worth knowing the difference (your members will ask):

• XP is per server and drives levels here.
• Points are network-wide (across all HoneyGate servers) and act as a reputation score. Members earn Points from daily check-ins, game wins, and joining servers — that part is automatic and not something you configure.

See the member-facing Earn XP & Points page if you want to share an explanation with your community.

Member experience

Earning is automatic — there's nothing to claim. Members check their standing with /xp rank (private) or /xp top (the public leaderboard), and see it all on their portal.

If your server goes quiet

Brand-new servers sometimes stall — the bot's installed, but nobody's chatting yet. If HoneyGate sees no members earning XP in your first week, it'll send you (the server owner) a friendly DM at the 3-day and 7-day marks with a quick 2-minute fix, so a slow start doesn't quietly turn into a dead server. You'll only ever get each nudge once, and active servers never get it. Prefer not to hear from us? There's a Quiet-server check-in toggle on the XP admin page to switch it off.

Your weekly recap

When your server is active, HoneyGate does the opposite: once a week it DMs you a short progress recap — total XP your community earned, how many members were active, and the week's top members. It's a nice reminder of the momentum you're building (and only sends on weeks people actually earned XP). There's a Weekly progress recap toggle on the XP admin page if you'd rather switch it off.

Tips

• Sensible defaults are already set — you can launch XP without changing a thing.
• Turn on Leveling (Free) to turn XP into levels with automatic role rewards.
