Version 2.44a - 19 June 2009
* IMPLEMENTED -
FOLLOWING POWER
What it is: This is a way of determining exactly how powerful a following is by taking into consideration several variables 
- number of followers, following balance, god's level (Lesser Gods will get a bonus), number of PKs, number of mob deaths 
(loses points), number of PK deaths (loses points). number of mobmasters completed by followers.

What it does: The higher the power level, aside from having a more impressive looking following on FINFO, it will serve a 
few purposes. The number of ordained mortals an FLI can select will increase as their power level increases. Mana 
regeneration will either increase or decrease.

* FINFO now works off of FLI's name vs Following Name as in the past.
* Removed glitch that added 10 hps when training HP instead of 5.
* Fixed up FSHOW command for immortals and also the PLEVEL log that works in conjunction with command. (Will be used in

class gains when they relevel up their lost 5 levels.

Version 2.42a - 7 June 2009

5.

* The infamous crash bug has FINALLY been fixed.
* Fixed the bug with people not being able to wear metal equipment.
* EXP gains have been raised as well to help assuage the time it takes to level.

----- THE BIG DEAL
* XP cap will be raised to 200, doubl XP cap will be 400. - this is to correspond to new EXPTNL.
* EXPTNL has moved to a progressive system, where each level takes more exp than the previous one. It is a gradual 
increase, the modifier is 275.

*** Old players will be grandfathered into this system the first time they save - when you log in type save right away (a 
flag will bet set on you that will never be removed so you won't get this advancement again, new players start with the 
flag so they never get it) ~ This way you don't have an outlandish amount of exp tnl. For players less than level 50, I'm 
giving you a freebie, you'll level up once when you type save. For level 50, I am just fixing your exp so it doesn't look 
retarded in your prompt/score. Hope everyone is happy with this. It took several hours to complete!

*** Players whom are multiclassed will notice this fix will only fix their primary class, however - fear not, from your 
primary class (the one without the outlandish EXP TNL) use the command NEEDFIX -- that should take care of it.
