Help on: experience

Experience points are the measure of your success as a MUD player. When you start the game you are a level 1 player with 1 experience point. You gain experience points by exploring and conquering the denizens of the MUD world, though conquering the same denizens repeatedly results in diminished returns. You lose them if you let these same denizens conquer you.

As your experience points increase, they periodically reach sufficient levels for you to gain another level of experience. Advancing to higher levels brings more health points and spell energy, and gives you a chance to practice with your guildmaster, possibly giving you entirely new skills.
