<div class="IPBDescription">How will experience points work?</div> I've been thinking about this, and of course, looking forward to it, but I started to wonder about how experience points will work.

Will it be different for each server? Like... let's say you get to level 3 on one server, will it restart after you join another server? Or something similar?

Will it be kept client-side? So that it would stay the same on any server. (However, this would make it easier to hack).

Will it be kept on a giant database like constellation and playtesters?

Will it be restarted each time you die?

Someone help me out here <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    All stats/abilities you get only apply to that server for that map.

    If you die, you keep your xp and everything you've bought with that xp.
    If the map changes, you lose everything.
    If you change servers, you lose everything.

    How newbie-unfriendly would that be..
    your stuck as a lvl1 skulk against lvl10 ha + hmg
    Nope, it changes per level.. just like your res resets when a game ends

    XP is done by rounds, each round you lose all you're xp and start back at lvl 1. If you get disconnected you will keep xp(like you keep res in normal ns), however, F4-ing removes your XP. #NSQuestions if you have more questions too XD

    Most of your questions are answered <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=39260' target='_blank'>here</a>, in the unnoficial changelog.

    In particular, there's the formula for exp gain: ((55 + target experience level)*15/number friendlies nearby) + 10 (up to date as of this post)

    you may think the EXP is low, but its good because if it was high the slippery-slope effect would be very apprent

    first to kill in that situation wins =\
