New explore system rules...however I wonder if it's even bit too suffeli
especially for newbie/lowbie level players (self included to some extent).
It's pretty easy to explore 10% and get some 500k exp - I'd expect it to take
max 3 afternoons from your average newbie if he/she just tries it. So you can
get to around lvl 30 without actually killing anything...is this really what
we want?
When I began playing it was great fun to slowly work up beginning from bunnies
and every now and then party up and kill something bit bigger. Now, it's
pointless for newbies to kill bunnies and wood louses etc because they get
more exp from room mob is located. It begs to ask, why even bother having tiny
newbie-monsters in the game if they're not worth killing? It's great that
players are encouraged to explore, but IMHO it goes overboard when you can
advance 20-30 levels simply by walking around.
