Pinned Update: New ClassicKBD Experience Rates Raised to 12x

Hey everyone — BrwN here.

Now that New ClassicKBD base XP matches authentic wiki values on both worlds, we can raise New’s rate multipliers without accidentally overshooting.

Why we can do this now
- Before the base-XP fix, New was effectively running roughly 4×-inflated bases × an 8× rate — about 32× authentic-equivalent XP per action.
- After the fix, bases are 1× authentic, so the old 8× rate was much slower than that accidental combo.
- Raising New to 12× regular puts us in a sensible place: faster than the post-fix 8×, but still well below the old ~32× mess, and still under Old’s 16× regular.

New ClassicKBD rates (live now)
- Regular (safe): 12x weekday · 14x weekend
- Elite (safe): 16x weekday · 18x weekend
- Regular in wilderness: 14x weekday · 16x weekend
- Elite in wilderness: 18x weekday · 20x weekend
- Skull still does not change XP
- Weekend bonus remains +2 (Sat–Sun Pacific)

Old ClassicKBD is unchanged
- Regular 16x / 20x weekend · Elite 20x / 25x weekend · Wilderness +5

Reminder: New ClassicKBD is still Pre-Alpha — further balance passes and wipes can still happen.

Thanks for playing.
