In February 2011 we [http://arianne.sourceforge.net/news/stendhal-0-92-achievements-and-expedition-groups.html added achievements to Stendhal] in order to encourage players to have a far richer playing experience than just killing monsters. This has really worked out great with - at the time of writing - over 12000 achievements granted. Feedback from players has been very positive and many players have discovered aspects of Stendhal that they did not pay attention to in the past.

:* The numbers will get smaller and the gap in the scores between ranks will get smaller
:* The difficulty will not change despite the gap being smaller. Think of this change as saying level 298.0 and 299.0 instead of xp 262,426,800 and 265,085,000. Yes, the gap between 298.0 and 299.0 looks small, but it is the same as the gap between those xp numbers. (The RP score will be higher than the 3 digit level numbers because we will shift the decimal point to the right).
