Ok, here’s what I was thinking for the XP/Levels (re-poll!)
There seems to be a sliiight weighting towards yes on the poll.
Here’s what I was thinking for the XP/levels:
When you start a new game or join a server, you’re level 1. You start with four hearts of health.
Kill monsters to
gain XP. Gain enough XP and you gain a level.
Every time you level up, you gain half a heart up to the maximum,
and you also mine extremely slightly faster.
Leveling up would be pretty fast.
And here’s the kicker: When you die, regardless of reason, you go back to level 1, and you drop all the items
you’re carrying.
