A more versatile exp multiplier system

Then they added Kunark and level 51 put the other hell levels to shame... and 55... and 57 or 59? It's been so long...

You would be correct on the hell levels.

Pre beta they where 30, 35, 40, 45, 50. When they made Kunark they added 51, 55, 59.

This wouldn't be very hard and really isn't that bad an idea I threw something like this together quickly:

..also noticed expmodifier rule doesn't appear to be working right now while doing which I will fix. Haven't tested this but yeah could also do it with something in the database too if wanted.. not a difficult concept and very nice for legit servers that want to tweak how they play.

[rojadruid]

The rule idea is a way better idea to do it, scince thats why they are there for customization.

Thank you KLS, you are my Hero!

My own server project is on ice for the time being due to lack of time but hopefully someone picks this up for his server. I had the idea because I dont like to play to level 70 in an week as much as I dont like slaving my way through the first 10 levels for the same period of time.

[Ueguvil]

This is something I've wanted for a long time. I'd like to be able to fly through the first 10 levels within an hour, but still having each high level take a considerable amount of time.

Bump... Any chance of this being integrated into the official code? Into the rules or something?
