The level cap has been removed! Also todays calendar will see you in possession of 200 free tokens, I suggest you head over to the casino and check out the Hive Lottery as I've deposited an extra 3000 tokens in the prize fund. Should nobody win on Sunday the prize will keep rolling over.

Have a Merry Christmas.

The level cap is being removed tomorrow (if all goes well) and I'm here to explain how it will work. Leveling beyond level 80 will give you no additional skill points, the effects will be aesthetic only, unlocking new outfit items at level 90 and 100 when people get there. There may be additional benefits added in the future but none are planned so continued leveling is totally optional.

There will be no hard level cap from this point on, however there is an equation that we pulled from the depths of hell. The current experience to next level is calculated with the equation below.

Level Up Experience = (((level + 1) * 2) ^ 2) * 100

The new equation has the part in yellow changed to the following.

Level Up Experience = (((level + 1) * (2 + ((level - 80) * 0.6))) ^ 2) * 10

This new equation only comes in to action at level 80 (so current experience gaps remain the same). With each passing level the experience gap will become bigger at a much steeper curve than before.

You will always get the same experience you would get if you were level 80, meaning for killing someone 80 or above you'll get around 18,000 experience. The experience earned per kill will not be affected by level beyond level 80.

This equation results in the following experience gaps.
80 to 81: 2,624,400 experience (145 level 80+ kills)
81 to 82: 4,545,424 experience (252 level 80+ kills)
82 to 83: 7,054,336 experience (391 level 80+ kills)
83 to 84: 10,188,864 experience (566 level 80+ kills)
84 to 85: 13,987,600 experience (777 level 80+ kills)
89 to 90: 44,355,600 experience (2464 level 80+ kills)
94 to 95: 111,513,600 experience (6195 level 80+ kills)
99 to 100: 179,560,000 experience (9975 level 80+ kills)

In addition to these changes, hunting NPCs once you reach level 80 will only grant 75% experience. The level cap will be removed at midnight, the gauntlet has been thrown down. Level beyond level 80 if you wish but know what you're getting yourself in to.

So the past day I've been sorting out presents and rearranging furniture and haven't really been online much the past day - and missed the Question time... yeah I fail. So it's re-scheduled for the 8th of January at 5pm! Sorry

DMaster asked me to remind you guys that there is an AWESOME HOUR coming up on Wednesday 29th December at 4pm Server Time! Make sure you get your teams signed up by mailing DMaster before the event goes live! For the wiki page about Awesome Hour: CLICK HERE!

Now down to business - WF resets soon so look out for a blog on that you may wish to read up on the reset on our wiki! Also Zorg will be doing something on xmas day do look out for that too, I was going to say something so instead ... I'll leave you with a small screenshot!

Today myself and Zorg fixed an error with name change that should've been reported 2 weeks ago. Just a reminder that when you find a bug in the game - leave it and report it. Do not abuse it and then report it as we still have to remove the said abuse.

On a happier note on Thursday the 23rd of December I will be hosting an informal event called Legacy Chat Party! It's a one day event that will start at 5pm server time and we have no idea when it will end. It will include:

-> Discussions about Past and Future additions to Legacy
-> General Mistakes by Players/Staff (Funny not serious)
-> Trivia - General Knowledge with Legacy questions thrown in
-> General discussion about new years and what lies ahead
-> QUESTION HOUR! (Yes I'm being serious) - However We're going to limit it to 3 questions per gang (Sorry!) so get in your forums and make a thread and pick the questions you can ask either Zorg, Pie or myself.

It's going to be fun and at times totally unorganized but aren't all parties?
