[QUOTE="LadyLaw, post: 5107238, member: 87417"] I worded it correctly. My example was poor. Your second example is correct. The reason it may have sounded wrong to you is because I used such a low level character as an example. By default a level 2 character starting over at level 1 would go to 0 exp and all the exp would be lost. The example chose was partially due to the debate about people making throw-away characters, but I should have chosen a better one (like yours) when I made this thread. You could still boost a low-level character significantly with the bonus exp, you just don't gain a significant bonus to higher level characters when you retire a low-level one, but that is also part of the point. Edit: Thanks, Covaithe. :D Edit2: Also, keep in mind that the bonus exp doesn't need to be applied to a new character. If you also had a level 5 warrior hanging around, he could get that 1500 exp boost. The real intent behind this is to give the remaining characters a little bit of a boost (since everyone can have three now). You aren't limited to boosting the replacement character with it, because that would be silly. Based on: I wasn't sure if that was clear. [/QUOTE]
