Title: Simplifying Info for Newer Players
Post by Deval on 09/25/03 at 00:59:12
I was just wondering (and this is probably totally useless) if it were possible to have the command '/maxstats' and '/experience' put in? I know there are the two crits with that information, but it may not be so readily available to newer players, who I believe would be more likely to type /maxstats, when they don't have the knowledge of the /who function, let alone the crits the information is listed on, aswell as the lazy players like me, who believe in the 'less key strokes prevents impotence' theory.

It would appear on the screen as follows (obviously with better alignment, stupid forums):

/maxstats

     Human   Elf    Dwarf   Gnome   Halfling   Half Elf   Half Orc
St:    19       18      21       17         18          18         22
Int:   19       21      18       21         19          20         15
Dex:  19       19      18       20         21          19         16
Con:  19       18      21       18         18          19         22
Wis:  19       20      18       19         18          19         14
Chr:  19       21      17       18         19          20         15


/experience

1:  0                          16: 1,700,000
2:  800                       17: 2,600,000
3:  2000                     18: 3,800,000
4:  4000                     19: 5,600,000
5:  8000                     20: 8,200,000
6:  15,000                   21: 12,000,000
7:  25,000                   22: 17,000,000
8:  40,000                   23: 24,000,000
9:  70,000                   24: 35,000,000
10: 120,000                 25: 49,000,000
11: 190,000                 26: 68,000,000
12: 300,000                 27: 95,000,000
13: 480,000                 28: 130,000,000
14: 750,000                 29: 180,000,000
15: 1,100,000              30: 250,000,000


It'd also be convienient for the maxstats to actually be displayed somewhere on the roller, perhaps a tab you can click to show them? Whilst it is nice the max stats you recieve come up in red, it's nice to be able to just know exactly what it is your shooting for anyway.

MODIFY: OK, those dumb exp numbers are straight when I typed it out and when trying to modify. Imagine them in two straight columns.

MODIFY: OK, now those stupid numbers are in line...

While we are on the topic anyway, allow me to refer all viewers to the secondary reasoning for posting.
