The top list gets freaky after 4.2 bil, notice the 10th player has 3 bil more than the #1 player. I've never seen a top list reflect more than 4.2 bil tho, it usually rolls over and starts you back at 0 (on the top list, not in your exp). It looks like exp is rolling over on here, b/c Tithian has less exp on the new one than the old one, any idea what it rolls over at on your board?

You know what, i really don't know...



I'll sit down and do some math and see if i can't come up with anything. I'm #2 and here's my total exp:



Exp: 52824721356 Level: 111 Exp needed for next level: 0 (51424177004) [19%]



that is weird. Almost makes top 10 not even relevant...

Well, the game wasn't exactly designed for over 4 billion exp. Lance never thought anyone would get past lvl 22, let alone acquire 4 billion exp. Legit games now have beyond 4 billion exp, and I think Metro is looking into it. I mean, it's not hard, but they do have a monkey over there doing the programming. I'm pretty sure it'l be fixed within the next twelve years. Don't hold me to that though.

That explains it. Maybe that's how it works on Kryax's board, but I'm trying to figure out why it's only on his board. I've never seen a board go over 4294967296 exp on the top list. That's when the integer rolls over to 0 again. Experience can handle bigger numbers, but the top list only recognizes that number. Check the top list on most edited boards. I had sum 50 billion exp on Lunar and every time I'd get past that mark, I rolled back off the top list onto the bottom and worked my way up again.

Actually..



The game is designed for well over 4 billion EXP, the top legit player registered has around 14 billion..



10th place doesn't have anything on 1st..it's like this



1st place: 8888888888|9

9th place: 9999999999



the | is where the top list cuts it off at, so really 1st place has another digit on it.

The game isn't designed for well over 4 billion exp. A characters exp can handle more than 4 billion exp, but the game sure isn't "designed" for more than that. If it was, we'd be able to train past 65 in a legit realm. A character's experience can handle well over 4 billion exp and display it correctly, because exp uses a form of %d. The top list uses a form of %10d, which displays 10 characters. I wasn't arguing the validity of exp, I'm simply trying to figure out why on every other board I've played on, exp on the -top list only- rolls over at 4.29 billion exp.

i know in mod 8 there was a patch that let you get more then 4 bill and some change but after that you would roll off the top 10

Speed - Legit players can gain over 4 billion exp, because metro made it possible, therefore it's designed to do it, they can't train past 65 until 1.11j, but they can get over 4 billion exp.

My bad, top legit player has 21 bil



If the game wasn't designed for over 4 bil, you still wouldn't be able to gain past 4 bil.



What, do you think someone cracked it so we could? No..that's default mod 9, you can gain as much exp as your little heart desires.
