Experience Change - Don't Freak Out

Archive: 25 posts


CC is out currently, and I'm sure he'll address this more formally, but for the time being this might concern you. CC recently updated the way some experience is calculated. This means that everyone lost some experience a little bit ago (at least anyone who has made a visitor message). I don't know anything beyond that, except...

Some of you may notice that you now have negative experience points (or maybe just a really small number). Don't freak out - it's okay! The change has been made to affect all of your visitor message experience retroactively - it affects everyone, so don't feel targeted. Anything you have purchased to date appears to be unaffected. I'm not sure there's much else to it, to be honest.

Anyways, let's all laugh at Zwollie... he now has -1700 experience points. Just kidding, Zwol. I'm laughing with you, not at you! (Ard, too)


Edit: If you can't see your experience, look here (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/xperience.php?page=1&ausername=&sortfield=xp&sortorder=asc). You should be near the top of the list.

----------

Update: you should have been reimbursed [plus some]. If you are still having problems, be sure to ask.

Just when I thought xp couldn't get any more confusing :eek:

Apparently I have 500. (Used to have more, but I bought the ultimate bundle.) And now ARD has -4,000+!?

THE END IS NIGH!

I went through and reimbursed all the names I recognized (e.g. the active people) plus 500xp so they'd be up to a stable amount, but for all of you who went into the negative after this change and I didn't do anything about it (which isn't anyone, I don't think), you can send me a PM and I'll get you back up to a respectable amount. If this change hurt you significantly (e.g. you were planning on holding a contest but you lost a good chunk of xp) you're free to send me a PM as well and we'll get something sorted out.2009-11-09 05:35:00

There goes the ultimate bundle...

Then again, experience doesn't really matter that much IMO. Same with rep. They're just simply extra cool features that just add to how awesome this site is.

500 exp loss!
In one night, you lose several days of level up.
I would be very upset IF this has happened in "Tales of Vesperia". But no problem here, the forum IS NOT a RPG

Right with you, Takelow! 558xp cruelly ripped from my grasp - not to worry, if it's happened across the board, we're all in it together

I donated all my XP to the Winter Contest anyway, so, yeah, could be why...

To quote myself:

So, you haven't done anything wrong. The value of a visitor message has been reduced. I'm sorry that you are unhappy, but it was a necessary change.

i suggested it to cc! i found n xp exploit with visit messages. 1 message on an account not urs is 2.5 xp. on urs by urself is .2 xp. i told cc to make it 1 point max per hour as suggestion. i c he did it. now an exploit is gone thanks to me 4 suggestion (i guess n finding it may worry others and ban exploiters if out b4 a fix), and cc for stoping exploit. i found the exploit on acident looking at my xp 4 visit messages n did formulas that made logic using other user xp data.2009-11-10 05:28:00

Sorry, we're only reimbursing those in the negative or those severely hurt (many hundreds or thousands of XP lost) by the change. In regards to what was changed, visitor messages were worth way too much and needed to be toned down.
