This may be limited to multiplayer, but not necessarily.

In case these do nothing, then they're nothing more than a way to show you've played the game a lot.

Most obvious indicator of this is an XP progression that is shared with all available characters, or characters of same class (player has progression in separate things). Generally means the progression can't be lost ever, not from dying, not from deleting characters, and there's no possibility of level drain or similar either (except maybe as punishment from game moderators).
