Hmm, this is in response to those who wine about exp being easier to get now
and the 'ridiculous' exprates they get in ares. In my opinion this exp tune
fixed one very crucial problem this mud had, and that was the fact that
several players used to repeatedly ruin the gaming experience for a lot of
people by clearing out the same selected areas, and thus lowering the exptune
to 50 or even 40% normal. Not only that, lately (as in 'before this tune')
these overly-raped monsters have been exceptionally hard to kill, because
their 'skin' was impenetrable and what not. So in this light, the tune was
very well targeted, and solved that problem. The only small tweak that would
probably be needed is in regard of the bigger monsters and also those areas
that have over 70% monsters of the same type. And another point: I do not
thing that exploring the whole mud was ever a prerequisite for getting a good
character, or getting exp in general. It was just one of the solutions
mentioned when whines started pouring in about this mud's overpopulation and
lack of areas/monsters because of the aforementioned repeated rapes. Just my
two cents. ++ S.E.
