in reply to Kim's post: The only major issue (that i know of) was the one in the thief guild. I don't think there are even a lot of players who took advantage of it... though i know there were a few. Now that it's been corrected, i don't think it's that big an issue. Specifically, it's definitely not an issue the other players should have to pay the price for.

Arii has a big character, but she's also put in a *huge* amount of time getting there.

Why is the current xp rate available to the more well-off guilds a problem? I don't see a problem with having high level characters, beyond the mud-wide issue of not having content available to challenge those players, and it is possible to design content to challenge those players. I think that some is even in the works.
