From what you said, i assumed that it should overflow at server after 32768 or 65536. (its 16-bit)

a signed 8 bit char of 127+1 is -128, if it is unsigned, 255+1 is 0

er.. yes, It appears I have lost the ability to count properly.

if (and only if) the skill value is at no point manipulated as a char (which would work, but be quite ugly) - If you are sure that the server doesn't do this at any point, then values up to 32768 will be ok (it is a signed 16bit int that is used) - if however there is a case where the skill number is manipulated as an 8-bit value, it will fail at one of the lower values.

However, skill values are referenced enough that I am not going to try reading half of the server code to resolve this point. - try it and see if it fails

I am pretty sure that its always maintained correclty. I dont understand why would one do it any other way :-/

[cavesomething]

for much the same reason that the face number for an image varies from 4 bytes to two bytes depending on how and when it is sent.

oh this... :-/

exp table with about 200 levels, with the first 115 levels roughly the same as they are now would be interesting...

...then levelling up can be made easier (by modifying exp loss settings), and overall the game will stay the same, but there will be a higher feeling of progress.

the experience table should be more exponential and there should be more
monsters which give more experience.
