So, now we know why this never got an answer from the Customer Experience Team: > [@Request for Clarification: Alliance Ranks and VP Reset](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/request-for-clarification-alliance-ranks-and-vp-reset/84403): > > Alliance ranks depend on two things, days of membership in the alliance and total VP collected. To climb in ranks, thresholds in both categories must be met, peaking at 100 days of membership and a total of 800k VP collected. Players who joined an alliance right when the feature became available are currently around 30 days of membership. A significant number of those players are grinding VP to qualify for highest rank on hitting 100 days of membership in a couple of months. Which may be a wast… It’s the worst case scenario, everybody drops back to lowest Alliance rank every 11 weeks. That’s 80k VP each week to climb back up, more if you also want to receive some daily rewards before they get taken away again. On the bright side, that’s quite a few hours each week no longer worth spending in PvP. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/8-0-sneak-peek-video/84649)._
