    I think I messed up...

    Erm... Has anybody else got 2,147,483,647 experience and level 255 in 29 hours or have I somehow ****** my account up? I mean my old account, with 164 hours only has 12,303,625 experience and is level 25, what the hell happened?

    Dude, that's amazing!
    Show me how you did that, haha.

    But I've no idea how that's possible.
    But now we do know how far it can go go.

    Mmmm integer saturation FTW

    I would however like to know why Redlynx used a signed integer for experience points... amateurs.

    Most likely our server developer Jukka didn't think anyone could have more than 2.14 billion experience points. And nobody has got even close yet (200 million is the highest experience count I found, still 10 times less than the limit), so I think his assumption was quite valid (unless some of the best players plan play the game using the same profile for another 15 years).

    A signed integer was used, because the game was originally designed to give you also negative experience for some actions. But I do not know if the final game gives you anymore negative experience. It's been a long long time since I have last time seen the Trials 2 SE experience calculation code. Having a unsigned integer instead of a signed one is not that significant, it just doubles the overflow time. 64 bit integer would have been a better choice if we expected to have a 32 bit integer overflow.
