What's the point of it? Plus, is it really that important?
Well, the main use for it would be to buy Account Upgrades.
Upgrade User Account Lv.2
Upgrade your forum account. Includes larger PM inbox, 2 images in sig, 200KB sig image size instead of 100KB, and a permanent 5% discount on shop items. Account upgrades do NOT stack.
Upgrade User Account Lv.3
The ultimate upgrade to your forum account. Have avatars up to 120x120 pixels 100KB, 3 images in sig, 250 PM storage limit and send PMs to 5 people at once. Includes a permanent 15% discount on all shop items. You do not need to buy level 2 first. Account upgrades do NOT stack.
As you can see, there are some good perks that come along with upgrading your account. I would suggest saving your gold up till you can buy the Account Level 3.
