Hi All!

Made a couple server changes that do not increase the client number. This is just a quick patch mostly, until I complete v1.23:
- Fixed a bug where a monster killing itself with damage return on a player was causing it to be incorrectly categorized as being tougher than it was
- Slight experience bonus for smaller groups to compensate for less players and slightly speed up solo play experience gain (note: You will still level faster in larger (4,5 player) groups, by nature of how the game works and is designed -- this is merely a minor balance tweak)
- Increased experience bonus for guild only groups

Hoping to see you all soon with a new update!

do i get an extra exp bonus if i solo play in a guild only game?

Just for the record, he did not report this to me, I checked all my pm logs from the past year, and no messages from him reporting this issue. The first I heard of it was a few days ago. The previous issue reported (by another user, Stoked, I believe) was not regarding damage return at all, and that one is in fact not an issue. My replies recently regarding this one was assuming it was that report (which was from about 8 months ago, not 2, and not from benell), when it turns out it was an entirely different issue.

Anyone knowingly exploiting this game in an attempt to profit or harm the community will face punishment, as others in the past (few rare occasions) have. Reporting or not is not an excuse to be abusive to all the other legitimate players in this community, and shame on any of you that defends such behavior.

Thanks as always to all the great players of this game, you guys rock!

The bonus only applies if 2 or more members of the same guild (and only that guild) are in a group, regardless if it's flagged guild only or not. Guild only just disallows non-guild members from joining. The bonus can still apply if you happen to be in the same group with only guild members. 1 person does not qualify as a "group" for the intents of internal logic of LS.

I just did a quick solo test. Seems to be working quite well. Almost like using ~15% exp gain.

When I'm done updating the game, I will tell you all during whatever I deem to be the final patch. It will be no mystery, and you guys don't have to speculate. I don't see that happening anytime even remotely soon (decade?)

Great players are defined by great character. There are still plenty of those people left here, and I salute you. :) I have not forgotten LS, and have been working on an update for quite some time. I have no ETA on the next release, but rest assured, it's in progress, and has been for some time.



False, I searched for lots of criteria, including "benell", "dr", "damage return", "dmg ret", and a few other variants. None of them had any hits relevant to LS and this issue. I did have numerous PMs complaining about violations benell was doing in here, that others felt were worthy of a warning, but otherwise, nothing regarding this issue.


I won't ramble on, but it's nice to see you posting here again!

Thanks for making some public statements! :thumbsup:

...I'm sure a lot of people appreciate it around here.
