    How many hours a day are you spending doing this? Sorry if you said and I missed it. Just trying to figure out how many years it will take me at 1 hour a day.

    Ouch. I somewhat hope Chris is going to fix that, a soft cap was kind of a promise, wasn't it? Thanks for trying Themo!

    entirely possible they just were not expecting some crazy person to kill a gazzillion elves and get 100 yet

    I meant to point out something different, but should expressed myself better, sorry.
    While I understand that there is not going to be a real soft cap (I doubt we're going to get more than an unsigned Integer for the experience value), I had the hope that there would be an algorithm for the progress, rather than having this as hard-wired implementation, resulting in the limiting factor being the number overflow, not how much was added yet.

    yeah me too. my exp bar does not seem to be filling up but each segment is well over 1 mil exp, i will test properly after a brief mining break to make sure. maybe i can keep going and it is just not displaying the target exp for 101.

    More likely they expected it but didn't want to increase the cap yet just for that crazy person.

    This is the internet after all. I run a forum and we have a like system. For two years we basically had unlimited likes per day for members. In reality, there was such a cap we didn't expect anyone to hit it. Two people did hit it though but only because they found out about the cap and wanted to see if they could. We didn't bother increasing it. We've now decreased the limit for many reasons-one of them was our version of Tahru. Most people don't hit the new limit on the free accounts anyway.

    In other words, there is someone on the internet you can expect will hit any limit you set in an insane time period.

    Having limited XP per day is a good way to limit this kind of power leveling but not starting at level 50 but at level 70. Seems to be the target level for many players after all.

    Limiting exp per day is a good way to lose allot of players, i believe the plan is more along the lines of a rested exp system.
