US Test Server updates

Looks like 2 new changes were made to the US Test server on Friday, 5/3:

Experience loss on death has been reduced to around 4-6% as opposed to the 10-13% of today.

There is a new NPC, Druid, located just north of the center of Giran (above the potion/gem shops). This NPC will cancel you on request.

A relief to hear that it won't take as long to regain lvls after a death.

Just if they would give us the 1/2 of exp that we already lost to death. I have died so many times that i would be 50.

Cancel update is pretty cool, but cost 400a? I'd rather have someone PK me in a combat zone.

Your right 400a is to much. when if you just walk into a combat zone you will get attacked. But if you got full health and are in a rush like at seige time i guess thats good. the npc should do remove curse for 200 adena.,

It's not a set amount amer, it's proportional to your level somehow. I died at level 49, on forged :(, last night and only lost 1.5%. Whereas other people said they died and lost like 4-5% at level 45-48.

omg I hope and pray that this comes to live servers soon. As of late i have been losing connection due to weather cutting down things like powerlines and messing up all kinds of things on the other side of my county (beautiful blue sky and suddenly *connection lost* "a tornado has gone through (insert town here)" I have died 2 times this week and its getting depressing (Im a level 48 mage btw >_< )

Maybe % loss depends on the monster that killed you. If you were killed by something with a level much lower than you, you will lose 13% or more

[RE:] # 7 & 8

You might be new to this game or just not realizing of the fact that there's really no such thing as mana regen "waiting" unless your an elf which i doubt you are since there aren't too many of those. If you are a mage then just do yourself a favor and bookmark the wasteland because those little skinny dead guys running around (skeletons) are each worth 30mp, zombies now have 45mp, ghouls have xx amount and bbs have 30mp also.

*On the note of this!!!! KICK ASS UPDATE!!!!!*

Can u say DRAGON HUNTS!??????!? OMG so many ppl are going to be going on them now. For once i wont have to waste 250exp on fafurion. WOOT!

i think they finally put the idea of the lvl/experience loss ratio in after marak was gonan quit cause he died to lag, and said on global, "10-13% experioence loss is no fair to the higher lvls, the amount lost should depends on your lvl". :) maybe im just syaing that cause he's my prince lol

Re; Etikilam [#53]

He feels sorry for them because
1) They did not get drops
2) Now they could do it with less exp. loss

Although there is a theory going about I see that it depends on the lvl of the mop that killed you...

Re; [General]

Just a little tid-bit:
GM stated that there is a chance to loose 10%-50%exp/death. The chances to lose 50% are almost impossible, though.

the trade off is that it's not actually a fixed % for each lv
it's a fixed amount of experience points per lv...

for low lv...more % drop
for high lv...less % drop
