As to myself, I love Ziggy but I also would like to keep my badge. I’m a bit confused about the new ranking system.

If you need to stick to Ziggy (which I don’t like at all), at least replace the meaningless and totally mindless level numbers with some original level names!

I’m sad about the new design. As someone who has been using this site for 3 years, I liked the clever names for the ranks and the poetic idea of knowledge growing like a flower.
It was simple, not over the top and appealing. The design was focussed on learning, the joy and the beauty of it. The streak badges were a great motivating improvement too!
This new design takes the poetry and the the beauty away from memrise. I will still use it and enjoy its functionality, but I think Memrise should think about their audience. They are more mature than Ziggy.
It’s such a shame, I wish there was a little time machine for this website.

Not a fan either, for what it’s worth… Worked hard to get up the ranks now it feels less motivating to evolve this avatar i have no emotional connection with. Badges were much better.
On the other hand I appreciate memrise trying to find new ways to present a goal… Just isn’t for me.

Thank you, now this horrible little cartoon disappeared from my screen (at least on my computer, I’ll see my other devices later). I hope it will be away forever, and that Memrise won’t find a way to “force” us to see it.
And I hope (but I doubt…) they will listen to their customers for once.
To the Memrise guys: I PAY for this service. You’re supposed to want me to continue to do so, not make me despise your product and use Anki/another website instead.

Please make it possible to choose between the old and the new system.I liked the old ranking system really much.

About Ziggy…
-Too childish
-Too big.
Could you at least make that creature smaller?.

I am using memrise now for 2 years and built up my own course. As I see it, this is a platform mostly for adults to learn languages. Therefore, I cannot understand these childish Ziggies. The former badges had at least very creative names that everybody liked to identify with. Earning badges is a better motivation for language learning than a growing tamagotchi. A pitty, the number badge for the days you learned in a row is gone.
I can see that you want to keep improving the page, but please make sure that it is improvement indeed.

Yes! Yes! Many adult students are shocked and disappointed by “Ziggy”! Could you give us the right to choose previous excellent icons or current childish images of Ziggy?

I’ve just seen I’m now a green space creature with orange gloves - Level 14 (that has only just appeared - android app first now on the web).
Not sure of my mascot’s name?
Sadly level 15 is an even further target than I had before!!!
(Not just a doubling of points but 2.5 times the score).
Guess I will have this creature for a long time.

Sadly I can’t use the MemRise App on my iPhone 4 and I can’t find an older version (anyone else, see Limitation for iPhones if interested)
Funny, some of us asked for intermediate (and easier) levels and others asked for higher levels.
We got the latter but definitely NOT the former.

Streak badges motivate me to visit Memorize on a daily basis and keep up with my goals. I don’t mind Ziggy but would like to keep my badges!
