Bug/exploit in the xp script - PLEASE READ

Wyvern · Post by **Wyvern** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 8:31 am

I am working on fixing a loophole in the xp script that allows you to stack your levels and continue to hunt low level creatures for higher xp. I am currently working on this, but I want it known that this is now considered an exploit. Anyone who has already gained and is stacking xp, either level up or face it being stripped from you if one of the DMs sees you. Hopefully this bug will be fixed asap.

In other words, you should level up, but you're not, you keep hunting the same thing for the same amount of experience? Doing it deliberately instead of just finishing the same fight, right?

Eek. Just wanted to make sure that's what you meant? I've never done it, but..

Correct.

This exploit has now been closed. From now on, once you gain a level, you will no longer gain xp until you have levelled up.

Whaa?...

No, he's saying that once you get enough experience to level, you -must- level if you want to advance, you won't gain anymore experience until you do so, but nothing will happen if you don't.

I beleive Dayn is a level 19 bard, Crimson? He won't lose anything, it's just like saying that if there were epic levels, you cannot anymore gain so much experience, that when you finally do take that paladin level, you won't have so much XP that you can actually go to level 21 aswell. It's a limit, that's all.

Your word speaks true damn.. wheres my brain this evening.. Lol.. But still.. I dont really agree with this.. How can you dm's tell if a person is using the exploits? And why do -YOU- not stop it individually? But the point is taken that it is now considered a exploit but its gonig to be a pain in the ass at times (even if you dont abuse it)

Oddly... This so reminds me of a Arena Server me and Jonny Came from .

We knew people were stacking xp upto, and over 100,000 without levelling past 1st-3rd. It is this exploit which has been closed. Now it has been fixed, we arent stripping any xp from players who were taking advantage of it. If it had taken longer to fix, and we caught people doing it after the warning here, it would have happened, but now it is a moot point. No one is about to lose any xp/levels.
