I think map resets really have to be seen as a game mechanic, and not try to
explain it too much in terms of real life.
Doing incremental resets is really hard, as was noted. Aside from the issue
of chained maps, to do incremental resets you'd need some form of logic which
denotes what st

To some extent, the rebalancing of monsters may eliminate the need for
training centers.
One thing I noticed when going through and fixing up the monsters is that the
exp rewards for monsters were all over the place. One monster may be worth a
lot, and another, of similar difficulty, wort

Hey! This is a wonderful idea: training centers must be filled by players. For
a price, of course. Put big notices in central Scorn (and other cities): "TCI

So I did some more tweaks.
I made a quick change so that some of the generators only make 5 monsters and
then disappear (I'll have to commit that change) works pretty good - I didn't
try many places, but in the few I did, that is enough to bulk up the monsters
in
the area to respectable l

Works better with todo link :)

Dont forget this todo, related to generator refactoring, the limit in
time could be added to the list. Imho, the max monsters at a time could
already be some solution.

So I made some changes to the tavern test server, just to try things out.
From before, made these changes:
need 5000 exp for 2nd level (and rest of levels are likewise scaled up)
reduced exp by monsters less than level 5 by half to 1/3rd old value
disabled generators
It is an intere
Speaking of throwing objects in general, i don't know if it was adressed
in your code, but the
movement speed of the throwed object (arrow, dagger, whatever) should
not be the same as the speed
of the object itself.
For example, if a dagger has a speed such that player can attack 3 times

I have adjusted basically all monsters up to level 20 or so on my server -
adjustments vary, but mostly it relates to HP, speed, exp. I recorded my
progress as I went along.
The first 5 levels went by quickly - most of the case I only needed 5-10
minutes
to get the exp to gain a level. IM
