Also, HP resets upon leveling up (of course!). ###All my tasks are red, I'm dying too fast -This is good. The worse you are at a task, the more valuable it becomes - meaning you gain more experience for completing those red tasks. This will incentivise you to try harder and to focus on the more difficult tasks. If you *really* need a bail-out, you can "Re-Roll" from the item store for $1, which resets all your tasks to a clean slate. It costs real money to prevent you from abusing it. +Good! Your red tasks provide the most incentive. The worse you are at a task, the more valuable it becomes in Exp & GP, which will push you to focus on the harder tasks.

It costs real money to prevent you from abusing it. ###How do I log in / save my data? -HabitRPG is built on [DerbyJS](http://derbyjs.com/), which doesn't yet support authentication. As soon as EveryAuth becomes available to Derby, I'll implement it - that and the other network integration aspects on the roadmap.

You can follow the progress [here](https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg/issues/3). In the meantime, a workaround has been built to use a private url, similar to Workflowy's shared lists, which you can use to access your account from multiple computers. Click the top-right profile button and bookmark the URL it provides.
