Any word on this going in? Been a few months since we've heard about it.

Funny you should mention it.

I sent an updated version to MadK@ just a couple hours ago.

Thank you to all who assisted with testing.
Soon the fun begins.

Getting some messages about 'local xp cap' on wilds when transiting. On the other hand, noticed that half-orcs suddenly give some xp (and yes, still kill me flat out).

This a real life test of the new system?

And if yes, can we get a bit of explanation how it works? Eg the cap.. is it forever, local, the server, certain range of areas? For a week, a month, etc.? How are xp in groups affected? is grouping across a varied level range again encouraged (or at least no longer discouraged by the system)?

*bursts with curiosity*

(PS_ lvl 10/10 druid shifter, 4-6 xp per half orc, 2-5 for mercenaries in M'chek wilds)

Here's where it was first posted: viewtopic.php?f=87&t=96986

I've got a comment on the XP code which is running live on Avlis now.

It is simply that it displays all the stuff about "You have 8987 xp remaining on your level cap", etc. etc. (I forget the exact text) too often. It seems to do it on every OnEnter for a new area, and on resting (which also appears as "floaty" text as well as in the "combat window".

I'd rather not see it that often, it becomes quite distracting.

How about just on "save character" (i.e. same time that it does the inventory count), or on entering the server.

Thanks for listening.

[Nob]

This is being addressed with the loot drop fix.

However, it's a bit difficult to do it as you request, because that message was given whenever your character was saved. (The precise function was AvlisExportSingleCharacter which functions on area on enter, on resting, etc.)

So instead I've just had it commented out entirely.
