Isn't the idea, though, that if you are significantly higher level than the mob (ie. Disaron 23 and Slains 16 - difference of 7 levels), you will now be able to kill these mobs more easily? So, even if you get 80% of your regular experience, you will actually level the same or maybe even quicker if you hit/dodge for more now?

Just an honest question, not an accusation, in case anyone thinks I am attacking the feedback.

Yea but this doesnt take into account spawn speed. Thats all. I agree that its a good idea, some of us just need to stop being lazy and help build, myself included.

The current plan is to put version 2.40 live on Thursday March 13th. I'm out of town tomorrow so today isn't a good idea.

The level range on experience means if you are ABOVE the monster by 5 levels you get 80%, right? Because, I would imagine that if you are killing a monster 5+ levels above you, you should get an exp BONUS if anything, not reduction...

Just checking.

I may be wrong, but i think the reason they did that is to prevent someone say me totally powerlvling a lower char easily. heh.

It's the absolute value of level difference. A level 1 killing someone 15 levels higher than him will have the penalty as well. I don't see this being much of a problem in practice, but i had to cover that possible exploitation hole when I was putting in group experience.

Anyway, here's the new exp adjustment tables. We'll try these for now, and adjust them as we go along:

Within 5 levels: 100%
6 - 8 levels = 90%
8 - 10 = 70%
10 - 15 = 50%
15 - 25 = 25%
25+ = 10%
