The problem I was having was a player doing this many times until he has "shadows" of himself in the game. The when he killed something he would get "x" exp times the number of shadows for the kill. I believe he could get upto 3 "shadows" so 3 times the exp for each kill. He went from a new character to god in under 2 weeks. Hmmmmm... suspicious. Again I never found any conclusive information though and the only simi-solid data I got was once while snooping him he rented to leave the game and had to do this twice to be able to quite, i.e. the idea behind the "shadowing". Hope this makes since, and if anyone else has anything to add it would be great to get some more information. Yours, Christopher M. Lee chrisl@earthlink.net cmlphoto@earthlink.net
