XP curve

We have to decide on a proper XP curve from level 1 to 50.
I'd like some graphs.

Thanks.

hey all of you , sorry i was a bit far from the forums , but as some of you know i got screwed … oops sorry i mean i got married , so i don't have as much time i had before :( ….. :)

for the XP curve here some ideas

as players will xp on others players (pvp/rvr) , xp should be a bit hard on high lvl while reaching an acceptable lvl to play should be easy

in this example people will just have to kill 20 guy to pass from lvl 1 to 2 , 30 to lvl 2 to 3 , 40 for lvl 4 , 50 you got it to pass a lvl you will have to kill 10*lvl to reach , to pass from lvl 29 to 30 you will need to kill 300 guys !

the lvl 30 to 50 should be harder IMHO

here an idea about the all process

until the lvl 30 i just add 10 ennemies, so the formula it's "old result + 10" to kill to each lvl after that i do: "old result + 10 + lvl to reach * 1.5".

im my example a player will have to kill a total of 24500 ennemies to reach the lvl 50:

i can provide my sheet to anyone who want to tweak it for better result

The problem is that the curve cannot only be based on kills, since different enemies will give different amount of XP depending on their level, we will have quests that gives fixed XP etc.

But, I could turn your numbers into XP instead and then adjust the XP rewards to that.
For example, maybe an enemy could give ( level * 1 ) XP, it would fit pretty good with your second curve.

What do you think?

of course , i just simplified my idea about the kills to concentrate on the curve , kills are based on lvl 50 , if you kill alone a lvl 50 you will get a full kill , if you do only 40% of the dmg you will get 40% of the kill (+a party bonus to encourage de team play) , you will need 60% more to achieve the kill , and we can ponderate de lower lvls kills.
