1. Webmaster | 2006-11-16 | Anglais Sujet COOL
We'd like to clarify some of the rules on getting points and give tips on smart ways to earn extra points.

First of all, it's not really the quantity but the quality what we'd like to see. That's why we often choose quality blogs or forum topics and give out free games. So if you create a good discussion or a blog or even a photo album, one posting might be enough! Or even if you don't get the free game, we also choose a lot of HOT topics/blogs/albums, which grants you 1500 points each instantly.

There are three main ways to get points:

1. Write a blog which gets picked as "hot". Every entry you write will get 500 points, and points are given retroactively to everything you wrote even before receiving the "hot" status. And before you ask - no, it's not hard to be picked "hot". Good, original writing is all we ask. We don't care about spelling or grammar errors, the use of correct language or anything like that. If the blog is entertaining and updated regularly, it'll become "hot" (however, blogs where the content is obviously copied from somewhere else, will not). And while good text will do just fine, decorating your blog with photos and images will obviously increase its chances.

2. Upload quality photos. When we see a photo we like, it gets picked as "hot". Not only will you receive 1000 points, but also your photo is prominently displayed on the photos main page and elsewhere on the site. Who doesn't want free publicity, huh? We'll soon start a photo popularity contest with weekly awards... stay tuned!

3. Write to the forum. Each topic you start gets 100 points, and the topics under the games category will get twice that. Every reply will get you points, too. Be active, talk. Don't create topics just to get points though. It's better to not think about the points - rather, create discussions and participate by talking with others... you'll earn a pile of points before you know it!

A reminder: We may delete anything from the website if it is offensive, breaks international copyright laws or somehow just is not of the quality (considered spamming) our visitors like to see. Whenever a topic/blog/album is deleted by the moderators, you will lose double points or even more. We generally don't want to delete anything, but we also want to keep the site clean and nice for everyone. The idea behind the points system is that we want to see people post things that others may want to read. When posting, please think: Do I WANT do read stuff like this MYSELF?

To make it easier to see what's going on we've designed symbols that are displayed next to items posted on the website. Here are the meanings:

New item. No points awarded for this, it just shows that this item was posted in the past 24 hours.


HOT item. This means the content is deemed interesting or good quality by the moderators.  The authors receive 1500 points for each HOT item.

Weekly star! Each week we pick the best posting (it can be a blog, photo album or a forum topic) and award the author a free game of choice!

Thanks to everyone who has posted and keep on posting! We love to see your photos and read your thoughts!
2. Webmaster | 2006-12-21 | Anglais
Just a reminder of the limits... 100.000 points is needed for a free game. You'll get 1000 points for a friend you invite, 100 points for each forum topic and 1500 point if it gets nominated HOT (and 500 extra points if it gets popular). The same goes for blog entries.

Detailed point rules can be found here: en.xihalife.com/home/pointrules.php
3. Arabelle | 2006-12-27 | Anglais
webmaster, is the game feeding frenzy available here in xihalife.com?
4. Mary | 2007-02-4 | Anglais
webmaster, what happens once you get 100,000 pts. ? Is a message sent, or do you just download the game, or what?
5. Webmaster | 2007-02-5 | Anglais
Nothing special happens. You are allowed to accumulate any number of points you want. You can, however, use points to pay for games once you have enough of them. When you want to buy a game with points you just send me a message saying which game you wish to get and mention that you will want to pay using points.

When paying with points we will review your account to make sure the points are valid. Things like inviting yourself to join dozens of times to get referral points, or posting photos or blog or forum articles with no content would be cleared from your account at that point. We generally try to delete such items when we see them (say, posting a forum topic with text like "xcjxcbxbcasds" only) as they're clearly hurting the community. The "quality over quantity" and "would I want to read this myself?" rules apply. Deletion of items by the management leads to 2x points being removed from the account.

Now, once the account has been reviewed and the points appear valid, we'll send you the game!

ok thanx!

What was that part about free points when you sign up
15. Jani | 2007-07-20 | Anglais
Free points? Not sure what you mean. You get points for everything you do, even posting the above question. I see you already have 650 points collected... then those points can get you free games. Is that what you mean..?
16. crista | 2007-07-21 | Anglais
in "xihalife.com"all the games are trial for 1 hr cant we get them free???
17. Jani | 2007-07-21 | Anglais
Not sure what you mean... the trial versions expire after one hour, after that you need to buy the full version. You can TRY them ALL for free, so in that sense they are all free. However, the instructions above are for getting enough points to get the FULL version for free (no time limit). It is entirely possible to earn games for free by being active on xihalife.com...
18. Ashlee | 2007-07-21 | Anglais
I need to get 100 000 points so i can get escape from paradise.. i love that game!!!!

21. Jing Jing | 2007-08-15 | Anglais
i heard Carrie the Caregiver 2  and Babysitting Mania were coming out soon. Is there an option to let us know when xihalife.com had certain games? Also, how do you redeem points for games?
22. Webmaster | 2007-08-15 | Anglais
We usually get new games really quickly so they'll likely be available right away when they're finished.

We will very soon start an email update service which will notify of the new games added. You can adjust your email options in the user info page - make sure your email is valid in order to get all the important news! (Obviously, you can also easily opt out of all email communication at any time if you wish)

You will redeem points by contacting the webmaster (that would be me!) in a private message and telling which game you wish to get. You will then receive an unlock code for the game, just like you would when making a purchase.
23. Jing Jing | 2007-08-16 | Anglais
How do we contact you? that's the other problem. How do i send mail??
24. Webmaster | 2007-08-16 | Anglais
jjl2357: How do we contact you? that's the other problem. How do i send mail??
It's really easy to contact me! Just click my face or name or the link that says "Whisper" and you will get to my space on xihalife. At the bottom of the page there is a box for sending a message. If you want to send a private message, just check the box that says "private".

what do you mean by "popular"? mr.webmaster?
28. Jing Jing | 2007-08-18 | Anglais
where can we see which discussion won the free game? other than scrolling through everything trying to find the orange symbol?

jjl2357: where can we see which discussion won the free game? other than scrolling through everything trying to find the orange symbol?

Often the game prizes were awarded based on many topics, or general activity. It lists that on the weekly star page. However, starting right now we have a new competition where you can win free games every week! Click the link below for details:

XIHA Competition - win free games

The first week's topic was just announced: it's Food DIY: tomato You have until 10AM on August 26 to submit food recipes containing tomato, and the best submissions win free games! Now, click the link to read all the details, this sounds too good to be true!!
31. Webmaster | 2007-08-18 | Anglais
what do you mean by "popular"? mr.webmaster?

Popular means that something has been viewed a certain number of times... it's hard to say a number, because the limits are adjusted based on the traffic to the site, so the popular keeps relatively "popular" compared to the rest of the site... makes sense?
32. Jing Jing | 2007-08-20 | Anglais
thank you!
33. Jing Jing | 2007-08-29 | Anglais
We will very soon start an email update service which will notify of the new games added.
when is that? i'm waiting..

do you know where i can download delicious 2 for mac?
35. Nolan | 2007-10-12 | Anglais
Is it possible to have a bookwriting contest? Like, get 2 months to write a book and send it in, and the best one wins 5,000 pts? I think it should be easier to get pts.
36. Jing Jing | 2007-10-12 | Anglais
i think it should be easier to get points, but i like the game review ones...
37. Jani | 2007-10-12 | Anglais
Hmm... I think if you spend two months writing a book you deserve more than 5000 points!

You know one problem is that people don't like to do *anything* to get the free game. We have the weekly competition and we have noticed that if people need to write a few sentences on their own, most people feel that's too much work. And the prize is a full game (worth $19.99 / 100,000 points)! Last week we asked people send jokes and the best joke would win - more than 10,000 people checked the competition page but only a few people actually participated...
38. Nolan | 2007-10-13 | Anglais
Thanks Jani!
I'm a good 40% way through my book, and I was wondering if you *might* revise it.
By the way, how many points do you get just for uploading an original photo, like my Cooking Failure?
39. Jani | 2007-10-13 | Anglais
Uploading a photo doesn't net you points but if it's a good photo it will likely be picked as "hot" which gives you 1000 points! If you have good original photos you should definitely upload them to your album!

What is "Cooking Failure"?

Oh and what is your book about??
40. Nolan | 2007-10-13 | Anglais
"Cooking Failure" is a paint jpg that shows me trying to cook.
Book: It is based on The Series of Unfortunate events. I am writing book 14, as 1-13 are out. The original author refuses to publish book 14, so I took up the narrative. It is about 3-7 children running away from an enemy as orphans.
41. Jani | 2007-10-13 | Anglais
Cool... sounds interesting... when you say the original author refuses to publish book 14, do you mean it has been written but he doesn't give rights to publish it? Or is he not even writing it?
42. Nolan | 2007-10-13 | Anglais
He isn't even writing it. Many other people are attempting to do what I do: making a book 14. I think one fan club had a contest. Anyway, what I'm doing isn't too common. My best subject is English and writing. I also draw a few comics.
How many points for a game review? Does it have to be the first?
43. Nolan | 2007-10-13 | Anglais
Also, what is the best way to get points/games period?
44. Jani | 2007-10-13 | Anglais
How many points for a game review? Does it have to be the first?

Same as game topics, which currently is 200 points. Doesn't need to be the first but you can review each game only once.

Also, what is the best way to get points/games period?

Other than winning the weekly competition? "Doing stuff", basically. Be active. Invite friends to join, that's 1000 points each who joins (and doesn't become inactive immediatelly, to cut out fakes). Post quality content which gets picked as "hot", those range from 1000 points (photos) to 1500 points (forum topics) to 500 points per entry for blogs...
45. Nolan | 2007-10-14 | Anglais
Is that my entry, other people's entries, or everyone's entries?
46. Jing Jing | 2007-10-16 | Anglais
are you posting your book 14 on xiha?
47. Nolan | 2007-10-16 | Anglais
I sure did! It's a blog.
I discovered a bug. I got 1500 points for having my blog chosen as a hot blog, in addition to 500 points per entry. Not that I want you to take them away, but...
48. Jing Jing | 2007-11-6 | Anglais
that's not a bug, its normal!!
49. Jing Jing | 2007-11-6 | Anglais
you seem well on your way to getting free games...
50. Jessica | 2008-03-11 | Anglais
Mr. webmaster, how do i invite friends to join or to see my page? im kinda new at this whole thing sorry
51. butskater | 2008-04-13 | Anglais
what do you do with the coins?
52. Jani | 2008-04-13 | Anglais
You can use coins to buy games, and later other stuff too. The coins have now replaced the old points system so the points mentioned in this discussion are outdated. The ratio to convert from points to coins is 100 points == 1 XIHA Coin, but actually the bonus awards were increased significantly when the coins were launched. For example you used to get 1000 points for inviting a friend, but now you get 50 coins (5 x increase!)

Click on the "XIHA Coins" link on the left panel, below your face photo (when logged in) to see the details of how to get coins and how to redeem them.
53. Dhani | 2008-04-20 | Anglais
deadlyangel24: how come when ever i upload a photo, i never get any points?
I also would like to understand that...
54. Jani | 2008-04-21 | Anglais
Dhani, please click on the XIHA Coins link in the left side... this gives you a list of coins awarded for things you do. Uploading a photo doesn't have any point award. Instead, if your point is selected as "hot", you will get a lot of coins. Hot basically means that i is an interesting good quality photo (it also needs to be taken by you, so no copying from the internet...)
55. 22 | 2008-05-19 | Anglais
I love these games...
56. françois-gabriel | 2008-05-19 | Anglais
tank you for the information good
57. Rhonda | 2008-06-1 | Anglais
HELLO EVERYONE,I'M NEW HERE.,THE GAMES ARE COOL
58. Jing Jing | 2008-06-10 | Anglais
Wait, just a question, is there still the "3 games for only 2400 coins(conversion)" thing?
59. Jani | 2008-06-10 | Anglais
JJ! You're still with us! 
Jing Jing: Wait, just a question, is there still the "3 games for only 2400 coins(conversion)" thing?

No... there's no such thing anymore. You now get coins much easier than before. The multiple order discount was removed as it didn't make sense. Nobody was really using it. When you get 1000 coins, you can get a free game - as simple as that!
60. shannon | 2008-06-10 | Anglais
you rule thanks for info
bye
61. Vanessa | 2008-06-10 | Anglais

62. Carol | 2008-06-19 | Anglais

iiiiiiiiiihhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

nao to entendendo nada......
63. lydialisa | 2008-07-11 | Anglais
I don't recall where this might be written--- Messages say a person gets 5000 pts for someone joining from yur page or something like that. It doesn't happen immediately I see. Do they need to stay for a particular length of time or something before the points are rewarded. Of course I could see there being a waiting period so people dont try to fraud with phony joining up..
64. Webmaster | 2008-07-11 | Anglais
Well, 5000 points equals 50 XIHA Coins. The points are an older system.

You do get the coins immediately, but their validity is checked when you attempt to use them to buy something (ie. if the invites come from the same IP address, etc.)
