Not Used: Minor Suggestion: Exploration XP
Suggestion: "Reset" Exploration XP for PCs once they become Reincarnated and Ascended.
The "Exploration XP" is a great thing. It's impetus to further explore Aenea and discover its features, while at the same time reminding players if they've been to a location before or not (500+ areas is a lot of places to remember!).
I feel the XP bonus encourages players try to discover new parts of Aenea, and subsequently appreciate Aenea even more. Even when my 1st PC became Epic level and beyond, I spent a lot of time exploring and re-exploring Aenea trying to find new areas and secrets.
And as the Exploration XP bonus is not insignificant, it might hypothetically alleviate 'farming' and the race for players to reach some 'Bosses' before other players (though this is just a guess on my part). Just reaching one new place rewarded more experience than a 'Boss'.
A while back, a player was not receiving an xp bonus for entering new areas, and all exploration records for all the player's PCs was reset. Speaking from personal experience, this refreshed my desire to travel (alright, to travel and get more XP ) instead of merely revisiting the same locations to harvest xp.
Heh...if I had my way, I'd have Exploration XP reset bi-weekly for everyone :-)

Re: Not Used: Minor Suggestion: Exploration XP
As long as exp for exploring couldn't somehow be exploited this is definatly something that should be allowed to be done.
It would be nice that a character would get a reset for exploring at the following: epic levels reached, reincarnated reached, ascended reached.
Also it would be nice if you could re-explore areas that have had major updates and still be able to gain the exploration exp.
