DO Keep in mind the frequency of monsters in an area and the areas around it. These affect the rate of experience gain just as much as XP settings do. A high monster-density is going to encourage powergaming, especially if the encounters can easily be triggered one at a time. Give your cities and v...

A level 30 character isn't really a relevant example, because there aren't exactly alot of them.

We are a linked CoPaP world, headed by Themicles, fairly early in development; the progress of our world tends to advance slowly, and our standards for content are very high. If you are proficient with the toolset (NWScript not ...
