Catch-up experience

This world plays along with those who walk behind. The server keeps a leaderboard - by reset count, level breaking the tie - and the further you are from its top, the more experience you earn:

The bonus multiplies the rate of your reset range, so a new character from 100th place down levels at x50 x 1.8 = x90, while the character leading the server walks on the bare rate of their own range, which is never below x5. In a party every member is paid by their own place, so a newcomer keeps their catch-up bonus even shoulder to shoulder with a veteran. Master experience is not affected.

While the bonus is above x1.0 it hangs in your buff bar, with the exact percentage in the tooltip. Staff accounts on the administration's exclusion list are kept off the board so they cannot push anyone down a band.

The rate of your own reset range is in Reset system.
