Owning a community is very prestigious at XuQa. It is a statement of high status, and requires you to fulfill certain conditions. You can create a community only when you are a Silver or a Gold Account holder and are on Level 3 or above. The total numbers of communities you are allowed to make depend on the Level you are at:

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Total Ownerships Allowed	0	0	1	2	4	6	8	10	12	15

If you downgrade your account to a free account and are no longer a Silver or Gold account holder after creating a community, you will still be allowed to keep the community and all activities in your community will continue, however the ‘Join’ button on your community will go away, therefore new memberships to your community will be Closed and no new user will be able to join. To Open the membership, you will need to upgrade your membership back to either a Silver or a Gold Account.

Downgrading from Gold to Silver account after creating a community will have no affect on the community and new memberships will remain open.

To transfer, simply go to the settings page of your community, click ‘Transfer Community Ownership’ and enter the link to the profile of the user you wish to transfer the community to, confirm and you are done. Please make sure that the user you wish to transfer to is

3. Has at least 1 total ownerships allowed remaining.

A team is a group of people that join together to play Xuqa, make friends, and compete against other teams for prizes and fame.

To create a team, you need to be level 10. To join a team, you need to be atleast level 4. You can only create or join one team at a time, so choose carefully.

Yes, but you will have to leave your current team before you can join a new one. If you change teams too much, your reputation may be spoiled and it will get difficult to get into other teams. Change only when necessary.

Yes, all teams require approval from the Team Leader before you can join. A maximum of 100 people may join one team.

Team scores are calculated based on how high-level its members are, and the total number of Peanuts that the team has. Rankings are the position your team currently holds in Xuqa, compared to other teams. Scores and Ranks are updated once every 24 hours. Scores are used to calculate Ranks, and Ranks determine what prizes your team gets.

Cash prize of $1000 every month. Super Medals. Champion crown next to picture in forums. For details, visit the Team Prizes Page.

At the end of every month, the team that has spent the most number of days at the #1 Rank will be given the $1000 prize. These will be distributed as online vouchers. A team can win this prize as many times as it wants, month after month. There is no limit. Please note, cheaters will not be given this prize and their teams will be removed.

The fastest way to increase your score is by upgrading your account to Diamond. Or you can get high-level users or rich users to join your team. The higher the level of your team members, the more your team score will increase. The more peanuts that you have, the more your team score will increase. If your team is full, then you have to focus on reaching higher levels and collecting more peanuts.

Team Leaders usually create a Team Community & Team Game Room. You can meet and chat with your team there. Be careful - other teams may be spying on you!

No, joining a team is optional. You don't have to join a team to use XuQa. Joining a Team gives you a chance to earn great prizes, but it is optional.

Players can use various items in this feature to reduce the health of players in other teams, defend themselves against enemy attack, and to increase their own health. Use the Attack items to reduce the health of players in other teams and reduce their score on XuQa.

Your team’s point will be reduced if your health reaches zero.

You can increase your health by buying Health Recovery items.

The workforce is your ability to use items. Your workforce will be reduced by a certain amount whenever you use an item.

The workforce can only be increased by waiting 24 hours, after which it will be automatically reset. You cannot use any items to increase your workforce.

They are no longer your friend. You will also be removed from their friend’s list.

There is a maximum limit to how many pending friend requests you can have at a time. This is to prevent spamming and abuse of the site. If you have reached this limit, get some of your friends to accept (or reject) your requests so you can add other people. Or you can also wait for a week, since pending requests will expire after one week.

Mostly yes, but it depends on their privacy settings. If they have chosen only to communicate with their friends, then you will not be able to scrap them or see their profile without being a friend.

A testimonial is a special message that you write to a special friend to describe him/her to the rest of XuQa. You can only send or receive testimonials from your friends at XuQa

When you post a testimonial, it gets sent to your friend for approval. This means that he/she will receive it, and then accept or deny that testimonial whenever he/she is online. If accepted, it will show up the profile, else it wont.

You can send maximum 3 testimonials to each friend. You can always get your previous old testimonials removed to write new testimonials to that friend.

If they don't select you as well, they'll never know they were on your list.

Bunnies. Flowers. Teasers. Twilight dinner on the promenade. We send both of you lucky matches a very pretty email. What really happens next is up to both of you.

Actions are upgraded on a per-person basis, and are independent of Levels. You can upgrade your actions with a particular person by being really active with that person. For example, if I tickle my friend Gorman a lot, after a few days the tickle will be upgraded into a more fun action between me and Gorman.

Be very helpful and useful to existing moderators - all existing moderators have the ability to recommend one other person to become a moderator. You might be it.

No. Moderators have levels, just like regular xuqans. They start at level 1 where their powers are limited. Older mods move up levels and get more powers. It takes at least 3 months to move up from level 1 to level 2. It takes a much longer time to get to level 3.

Other items may get disabled for a while after their use. You can learn more about items in the description section at the items shop page.

The user list panel is a feature that shows up for poker room owners when they are in their room. It lists players and spectators in the room. When you click any user in the list, it shows an info window which has the profile id, picture and name of the user that links to his/her profile on XuQa. Along with this, there is a button at the bottom right of the info window with a kick icon. You can use this button to kick a user out of the room and ban him from entering back. If the user you want to kick is playing poker, he will be kicked just after his game is over.
