  The FASTCAT changes that were made broke this bit.

      It's also still sending the 32-bit version to the client.
     
     
  Not true.  Up to date clients should get 64 bit values.

  Since this is a change in format of data, only new clients will request 64 bit 
values to be sent, so it still 'sort of' works on older clients (albeit, once 
the players exp goes beyond the 32 bit value, things get screwed up).
