I've noticed that some of my characters now receive a minimum of 1 xp per kill now where they didn't before.
Some of the characters I haven't levelled in months.
Has the lowest possible XP reward been lowered to 1 or has some new multiclass calculation been implemented that we aren't aware of?
My multiclassed characters shouldn't receive any 20% xp penalty because of the extra classes.

My multiclassed characters shouldn't receive any 20% xp penalty because of the extra classes. I'd lowered it as test and forgot to restore it before sending the last update. I may or may not leave it as such now. 1xp as a minimum I think does have some merits as it clearly lets folk know that they aren't being challenged. On the otherhand, with 1xp as a minimum, applying a multiclass penalty results in 0xp gained (no xp message at all). This may or may not have merits too. On one hand, it would make folk consider long and hard about how they multiclass, on the other, it could prove overly punitive. Perhaps more testing and discussion before making it permanent. Feel free to chime in. |

I've always liked the 2 xp minimum. I have one character that receives a 20% xp penalty and he lost his appeal when I only received 1 xp in some areas. I basically haven't played him since because he's not geared/built towards soloing the more difficult areas. He works well in parties, but with the low number of players, 1 xp is too low. I also know someone who once said that "since it's so difficult to reach the Xxxxx Cavern, the reward is the hundreds of smaller 2 xp critters charging at you." Besides being quite the fun area, it's nice that an area doesn't have to have a boss monster for you to feel like it's really rewarding to clear it. Basically I think that 1 xp is too low, even for multiclass characters.  |

Seems the xp hasn't been altered for this most recent update. Just posting this as a reminder, but not sure if it belongs in Bugs and Issues. |

I've another almost ready and will send it in a day or so. |
