Thanks to netrom, we are trying out a little tweak to the xp system.
You will not get xp for any creature more then 6 cr lower then you.
However any creature 6+ higher then you will adjust it the xp award down to 6cr higher.
So feel free to fight higher end stuff, it just is capped at the amount awarded.

XP System adjustment
I have done a little testng with this new version of the script.
It seems to be working, i tested it by hi'jacking a level 11 fighter (half-orc).
He killed a cr 16 and got 232 exp, and for cr 17 and anything higher he got 265 exp.
Basicly the upper end of exp is like it was before the other script was put in, and in the lower end you still get 0 for anything with cr lower then 8 of your level + ECL, just like DD said.

good, i just got my lvl 11 druid to gnolls and was very disappointed that i couldn't get anything for bodygaurds and flamedancers........thanks for seeing the logic that a higher end fight will definately teach you something. even if it is capped. 
when death comes for you and you are not afraid, if he asks why tell him you met me
Server is still messed up.More than ever.
And asking why there are dm's anyway? If you place something here, they won't answer, or asnwer ''i can't do a thing about it''. Place your question on shout on the game ,than they're telling that it must me posted here...... (vicious circle?).
And ok its beta ( best way out of complains), and i understand, but things are going from good (whan i first came here about a year ago), to bad (since whipe) to Worse (atm). Isn't beta-testing normally not to prevent these things.
I've notice also today that i'm surely not the only one; when i told on ''shout'' that i pass 95% of my spawns without touching them (cuase they don't give me any xp, so why do the effort), i recived about 10tells from persons, all of them telling me that they agree with me.
I agree that lvl 20+ characters dont have to play on rats and gobbos, but this is to extreem. Isn't it better to fix that from the -6cr that is active now to a -10 or -15 cr ? So characters will be able to get lvl 40 (now its only possible due donations) and ppl won't hunting rats(still won't give them xp), but they still get xp from guards,Demon of destruction,High priesteress of Lloth,and all other instand dead or high risque creatures. Spawns will be killed more to then, ppl stop with compaining either.
Well, for the time being till something DECENT is done about it, Ciao Eva

But then you wont get past level 30, and then we need to rethink the -10 or -15 cap once again.Eva wrote:I agree that lvl 20+ characters dont have to play on rats and gobbos, but this is to extreem.

The answer is no: its not a vicious circle, unless you are told in forums to use the shout channel for a question ... which I highly doubt.
Have patience.
Epic areas are around the corner ... this will soon allow you to level up and explore new areas, which I would hope to be more fun than simply killing the same poor guards over and over again. This was the reason the level cap was removed in the first place ... without them it merely seems taunting, yes.

But, it's such a draining job that, until you've DMed on an NWN server yourself, you the playerbase, have got to cut the DMs some slack. - Flailer
btw, i've been thinking;
forexaple you get to lvl 26-27, you make a ''donation'' for that character, so you gain 100 or 200k, so you'll become something like 34-38th lvl. Till frostdale or sunken isl isn't loaded, there's no use of playing that character further, only playing to explore the realm will be than.

I am curious, why the burning need to reach 40th level anyway? By the time you have capped out on your levels due to the experiance script you will already be above what the module currently supports as far as mobs go.
All I can see is the burning desire for arena PvP power players, and the arena mentality is something that we can do without. If that is your sole reason for being, it may be time to expand your horizons, because when we identify arena players, we do our best to expand their horizons for them.

To get to level 27 from 26 you would need 27000 experience.Eva wrote:btw, i've been thinking;

28000 more for 28
29000 more for 29
30000 more for 30
So 100k would get you near 4 levels, but only 3 out right.
250k would get you to level 34 from 27.
