EXPERIENCE LEVEL XP BUFFER
---------------------------------<COMMANDS>------------------------------------
Syntax:   experience      displays experience needed/gained for 10 levels
          level           displays experience needed/gained for 10 levels
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your character advances in power and level by gaining experience. 
You gain experience by: 
1. inflicting damage upon an opponent 
2. being part of a group that kills an opponent 
3. succeeding while learning a skill or a spell through real world usage
4. completing various types of quests found throughout the lands

Possible experience bonuses:
1. higher intelligence and wisdom
2. playing only one character at a time
3. delivering the killing blow during battle
4. killing an opponent that recently killed you 

Experience can be lost by (except for deadly characters):
1. fleeing from combat
2. recalling out of combat 
3. being the target of some spells (energy drain, etc.)
4. dying (except at level 50) 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobs remember fighting you if it is within the last twenty-five kills. If they
have a higher intelligence than you they will learn from it and potentially
gain an advantage over you in combat, thus lessening the experience gained.
