See,&lt;br&gt;I guess I should explain what I'm thinking.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What I want to see is that a new player who logs in (who will have '1'&lt;br&gt;in every skill) and has spendable exp, but maybe he doesn't spend it and&lt;br&gt;goes right out to fight. Before this change, he would fail everything,&lt;br&gt;die, and logout. Now, he'll do a LITTLE bit better. However, it's&lt;br&gt;important to note that if he doesn't raise his skills, he'll be&lt;br&gt;progressively weaker. If he DOES raise them, he'll not even noice the&lt;br&gt;difference.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let's take an example.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Say we have the 'skeleton' necromancer spell. I rolled a brand new&lt;br&gt;master of death. RAWR ME! I'm gonna be a spell caster. Our&lt;br&gt;experienced players know this new player should put points into combat,&lt;br&gt;strength, etc and just melee for a few levels. A new players wants to&lt;br&gt;start casting his death magic. So what happens today onward is they&lt;br&gt;will get +5 to their skills - here, look at a graph :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;X&lt;br&gt;XX&lt;br&gt;XXX&lt;br&gt;XXXX&lt;br&gt;XXXXX&lt;br&gt;12345678....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The x-axis there is player level. The y-axis is skill level. Coming in&lt;br&gt;a new player has '1' in their skills. However based on the above graph&lt;br&gt;they will have 5. At level 2 they'll have 4, etc. Once they get to 6,&lt;br&gt;they'll be back down to 0 again. This sounds odd, I know, but any&lt;br&gt;player who gets to level 6 without spending any experience is a special&lt;br&gt;case. However, if they start spending their experience the graph will&lt;br&gt;quickly be offset by their kill values going way up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So this acheives what I wanted - to hold the hand of new players and not&lt;br&gt;scare them off but doesn't change the way the game functions once levels&lt;br&gt;really start getting going.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hope that helps.. maybe more info than anyone cares about :).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Razan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
