About: Rank up

In video games, and especially in online multiplayer games, to rank up (sometimes abbreviated r^ in text chats) is to achieve a higher ranking relative to other players. Ranking up may refer both to this and the techniques used to do so, while a rank-up game, rank-up match or rank-up room is a match expressly set up for this purpose. To rank up, players must reach a certain goal. Depending on the type of game, characters can rank up by gaining experience points, performing tasks, or reaching a certain number of kills.
