Exp from challenges I think it would be tight if you can get exp from Challenging a player. you know the higher the level the more exp. so there can be more of a reward than "i can beat a lvl 30!" u can level from Challenges.

I challenge other people a lot i think it would be cool if i got exp. Consider it, its a good idea.

There *is* exp from challandges--called Aggroing
Either that, or if you beat a higher leveled player, even by fluke, the player could be considerate, and give you a few thousend kama or misc items...
But back to the first topic -- When you're p2p (And a'aligned') you gain exp from battles, and thus geting neat equipment and advantages, if you're either Bonta or Brak. Exp from agroing = bigger wings, and bigger equipment ; even at lower levels

if you got xp from challenges nobody would kill mobs for xp.
And i don't think you get xp from aggressions, maybe rank xp but not player xp.

A few problems with that... The loser would have to recieve a penalty, otherwise you could just powerlevel your lower leveled friends with Challenges. If the loser recieves a penalty then there is no way to do a friendly PvP match. Bad.

If you want competitive PvP just get aligned.

they could make a 'friendly' option, so challenge has xp and penalties, but unlike aligned it is voluntary, the friendly is completely friendly (hence the name) and is just a fight between two people..
Just an idea, dont flame me until i'm just a pile of ash on the floor, ok?

In case it is not obvious:

Make a Character on one account.

Make a Character on a second account.

Challenge second character repeatedly.

Level insanely with no effort while others play fairly (or do the same...)

Not flaming. Nothing personal. This is just bad idea, because any cheat that exists will be exploited.

Even if the EXP was taken from the other character, people would just level both and then leech the Alt to boost their Main.

A lv 1 char wouldn't give much xp >.>
In the agro, every agro on the same character reduces the xp considerably. this would be the same with challenges.
"But they could just make loads of other charachters and lv those!" I hear you cry...
So my simple reply is, "Well, they're wasting an aweful lot of time then, aren't they? not really worth it is it?"

I rest my case ^^

It's not really worth it to add an exploitable loophole to the 'Safe PVP' (which is what challenges are)

Exp for leveling is only gained from Monster fights because they are impartial... they always try to kill you to the best of their abilities as they are programmed to do. It keeps things fair so that any character who achieves a certain level is there because he participated in legitimate fights. They did not have to actually DO anything (helping level an Alt is not uncommon), but at least time was spent and something life threatening was taking place... challenges can be thrown/suicide commited in seconds.

I will consider nothing. This is the easiest way to abuse experience. Take two level 1's controlled by the same person. Battle eachother, one person leaves and the other gets 100-200 exp. Repeat the process with each character taking turns leaving, meaning they will always be even leveled. Then soon after hours of battling eachother, they will be maybe level 30 and getting about 4000-5500 exp per fight, and continue to repeat the process, etc. This will make everyone too powerful.

=GTP= is right.

Sadly, this kind of abuse will exist, since even with 2 f2p account, reaching lvl 200 in a minimum time is doable. Therefore, the idea is a bad one.
