Hello my friends. I realized that when im killing mob i m NOT gain exp points!! In fact i am LOOSING exp points! Please check if the game doing the same thing to your characters too... I lost about 10mil with this bug i think... Fix that problem please... George. I checked it now and my character Wisyl gains 1/3 of the axp poionts mount. (Before the score: "You have scored 6360416 exp, and have 223049 gold coins." I cast stone skin and is says "You receive 2600 experience points for your successful use of skills." but when type score it says: "You have scored 6361282 exp, and have 223049 gold coins." -> +866 exp).

Both these characters are tri-class, so your actual exp counter only goes up by a third.
I checked both characters and it seems to be working correctly.
Can you confirm your total exp number is actually decreasing? or just increasing slower than expected?

Hi Maxum. Here is an example exactly copied from the game:

You can see the scored exp at the time before stone skin were 25565749. After the spell are 25564017. So I lost 1732 exp points!
This is only a small example from all that bug. And one more think please. Isn't it right the 1/3 of tolal recived exp is for eatch class and character recive the total exp of the battle succ. spell cast etc? George.

Ok. I ll try to reic. the character and i ll continue from there... Thanks for your help. George

George, your character needs to raise his levels. Just go to your guilds and type gain.
Point is, previously you were stuck at levels 30/35/35, now you can go up to 40 (type 'help level limits' in game).
Oh and yes, there was a bug that has been fixed. Thanks for reporting it!

And concerning exp splitting. When you receive 150000 exp poonts for a successful kill, it is divided by number of classes your character has, so a tri-class gets only 50000 to his score. This is correct.

Oh I didnt see it!! Thank you very much. George.

hello again. I think there is a problem again... Please look at this:

*************************
The exps for each class are correct.... (+166 exps eatc class * 3 = 498) But the total scored exps???? I am still gaining only the 1/3 of the total exp...
e.g. When you will fix the bug please fix my total gained exp too. George.

You will need to recall mathematics lessons for this one.

Lets's say you are a tri - mu/cl/wa - and you are level 1.
Now, you need: 2500 exp as mage, 2500 exp as cleric and 2500 exp as warrior to get to level 2.
2500 + 2500 + 2500 = 7500 exp total.
If you kill one and same mob and receive 250 exp for it, you will need 7500 / 250 = 30 such mobs (30 * 250 = 7500).
And in the end you wanna see 7500 exp in your score? 7500 exp is not comparable to level limits, because you need to know current level limits and somehow divide your total score among them.

Now we use a bit different method: we divide all your received exp by the number of classes you have and we show (as the consequence of this) only 1/3 of your total scored exp. So, in previous example your every kill of 250 exp will add just 83 exp to your total score and after 30 kills you will have: 250 / 3 * 30 = 2490. Almost the same (there is an error due to integer aithmetics). But your total score can be easily compared to what 'levels' command show you. So, when you finally score 2500 you'll receive all three levels: one for mage, one for cleric and one for warrior classes.

Of course, there is another aspect: not all classes have the same exp level limits. But we fill exp holes uniformly, and you can easily compare your total exp score to level limits directly. So, if you really want to know how much exp you have scored, you just multiply exp shown in score by the number of classes you have (x3) and feel proud of yourself.

Thats the point! We say the same think... But i think that the total exp must be the total gained exp not the 1/3 of them (or 1/2 if you are two-class character). If it is not possible never mind... I know now )) Thank you very much. George.
