From Mortal Realms Mud
Your character advances in power by gaining experience.
The experience required to gain a level will vary from class to class.
You gain experience by:
being part of a group that kills a monster - level of monster
You lose experience by:
fleeing from combat - based on level
recalling out of combat - based on level
being the target of certain spells
dying - returns to 1 over required for
current level
The experience you get from a kill depends on several things: how many players
are in your group; your level versus the level of the monster; your alignment
versus the monster's alignment; how many of this monster have been killed
lately; and some random variation. A monster that is 30 levels above your level
regardless if you are in a group will double the amount of experience gained,
while a monster 20 levels below you will halve the experience gained.
The LEVEL command will show your current experience in relation to other
levels of characters in your class.
