XP

I dont think so, I played two missions to get the hang of it before going to mulitplayer, but still started at zero XP. Looks like we'll have to wait for it to come back online.. :)

Hi, I got up to 50 XP from a Singleplayer when I play a map against a bot - but not when i plaed Singleplayer Missions

Be careful with that though. It will make an extra threshold for new players. And new players are needed.. :)

Yes you can get some XP from missions, i think tis 25 from mission that you host publicly.

If you start with host instead of play it will be counted (reason for this is so we have demo and can check you didnt cheat :-)
Also beating high score in a mission gives big XP bonus but i think all missions with score are hidden atm.

make some tutorial springies called "newbes - 1vBot only"

rename other hosts to "EXPIRED newbes welcome"
