Couple ideas.
1 Check class.c in function advance_level and modify the code so the mud
wont advance ppl past lvl 50...
2 You could also change the XP amounts so it requires some absurd amount
of
xp for each level above 50 (IMO this would be smoother than immos
granting
a level outright for completing quests, etc, because there is more
lattitude
(ie, you didnt win but you did well, here is 1M xp, etc. The other way
its
either 'Here is your level' or 'Tough crap, no level for you..)
I hope that you are just anticipating this problem, and you do not
already
have mortals that are level 50 after 2 days of playing. If this is the
case
I would think it is a definite sign that the game balance is way off
(unless you want people to win the whole thing and get bored in a week
*grin*)
