| abstract | - MMO Skill Rating (MMOSR) evaluates the skill level of the player in terms of worthiness to participate in an elite MMO guild. It is an evaluation based on the player's MMO history, in-game achievements, participation metrics, equipment obtained, and recommendations from certified guilds. This rating gives elite guilds the ability to gauge the 'worth' of the player to guild. MMO skill ratings are determined by the independant MMOSR Evaluations Committee, an organization made up of high ranking participants in the MMOSR, who review monthly evaluation reports submitted to the committee by the participating guild. The rating represents the committee's evaluation of qualitative and quantitative information for the player, including non-public information obtained through the participating guilds that the player is representing. MMO skill ratings are not based on mathematical formulas. Instead, the committee uses their judgement and experience in determining what public and private information should be considered in giving a rating to a particular player. The rating is used by guilds to determine if the player matches the expectations of skill level for the guild. A poor skill rating indicates the committee's opinion that the player has a high risk of not performing well in guilds expecting higher ratings, and very low ratings are usually a clear indication that this player will damage a guild in some fashion.
