Exploring
-----------
The realm of Batmud is huge, and there is a great variety of
areas and sites to see and explore. The number of rooms of the mud which
you have explored, along with the total number, is displayed with the
'score' command.
You will gain experience points when you visit new rooms. The actual amount
of experience will go up exponentially when the number of the rooms you have
visited grows. Exploring is a good method of character advancement,
especially at the lower levels.
There are special rooms that give a substantially larger amount of experience
when you explore them (for the first and only time). You will be informed
when you enter such a room. To prevent abusing a constraint has been placed
that limits the maximum experience gained from these special rooms to
the experience gained from visiting normal rooms. The possible additional
experience, however, is not lost. The system keeps count of it and awards
you extra the next time you visit a special room, assuming that your normal
explore has gone up enough to allow for this.
Special rooms are rather rare, and there are areas that do not contain a
single one of them.
These exact figures are not available for the eyes of the mortals, neither
are the formulas. See the table at the end of this document for getting an
idea about the experience you can expect to make from exploring.
Note that certain areas (such as guild rooms or level-restricted
areas, or the outerworld map) do not count in the total number of rooms, and
thus you do not gain experience for entering them.
See also: 'score'.
The following table will give you an idea of rooms/experience ratio...
,--------------------------------------------.
| Rooms visited | Experience gained |
|--------------------------------------------|
| 100 | 5000 |
| 500 | 85000 |
| 1000 | 300000 |
| 2000 | 1000000 |
| 4000 | 4000000 |
| 6000 | 8000000 |
| 8000 | 15000000 |
| 10000 | 23000000 |
