This has been discussed several times, but I'll float it here: do we have a consensus in favor of reducing the experience penalty on death? Some on IRC have said we should change it BEFORE v. 1.0. 1) Yes, reduce it. a) Reduce it to 25% or 3 experience levels in each category, whichever is LESS. (my favored method) b) Reduce it to 10% (or X--you fill in X). c) Use this forumla: loss = F(current_exp) (you fill in F) 2) No, death is already too painless. Leave it. PeterM
