Player Levels and Experience

How does my player level up?

As your player earns experience, you will increase in level. Going from Level 1 to Level 2 takes 1000 experience, from Level 2 to Level 3 takes 1200, etc.

Your player info page will always display how much experience you have, followed by how much you need for your next level.

The actual formula, if you are interested, is Experience for next level = (level * 1000) + ((level - 1)*100*level)
