    Can anyone else successfully log into R22. I'm getting an "internal dev only" message.

    Oops...I think the server message says 9 CDT which would be 10...that's why I'm confused.

    It says session ending at 9 CDT, but I took that to mean 10 CDT it starts... It's my bad. :)

    It would be nice if we could place the dragon statue inside our home or on the roof, the village size one looks like it will fit no problems inside the duke castle.

    Where is this experience bar at? I can't seem to find adventure level anymore and I don't see any experience bar unless we're talking about the green ones that we see when we press "K".

    Yellow bars at the bottom of the window, just like in R20 and prior. You can see them in Grave's screenshot, above.

    Can someone please explain the XP bars? Noticed them, very annoying (my opinion). Producer is full at 1.9 million, adventurer something like 60% full at 33.000.
    Why only 33.000 for adventering? (should be way higher than producer). How does it impact new skills? Does full mean I get new skills immediatly (after enough training of that skill). Why cannot I see numerical values or get a notification like before when I gather XP?
    I understand that the new use based system is more immersive than the XP/level system before. But now we have some kind of hybrid which has the worst parts of both worlds (I need to train a skill for a while AND I need to gather global XP, but cannot reduce a skill to get back some XP like before). Also now I have no clue on how fast I can level up specific skills, I do not exactly know which skill usages improve others, especially passive skills (had some - for me - very strange effects that spells increase armor preservation). Why cannot usage increase a skill (and some related skills) regardless of global experience. Add a modifier for repeated usage / dangerous environment instead. And make dependencies visible. At the moment I am playing quite cluelessly....

    The bars show your XP pool. Your producer bar is so full because you didn't used it up yet. Adv is 33k left. How full the bar is, shouldn't play any role. It takes XP from your pool while skilling, depending on many variables. The bar is for you to control if you are skilling or gaining XP, nothing more.

    I'm assuming he meant the points of interest that are added to your compass once you've found them in the zone.

    @DarkStarr, have these been fixed to be remembered once they are discovered? Except for Owl's Head and Braemar, all of my PoIs seem to vanish each time I return to a scene.
