Not Used: XP store and subraces penalty Empty Not Used: XP store and subraces penalty

When I joined Aenea, the subraces with stats bonuses were a perfect choice for me. Play a little longer in exchange for more power? I'm in!
However, with the addition of XP store, that advantage turned into a huge disadvantage(at least for characters who use the store extensively). If a PC with a demonspawn subrace wanted to have a total of 20 ability boosts, they would need 3 million XP more than a human character Not Used: XP store and subraces penalty Icon_pale
Could we perhaps have it changed so that all the subraces gain XP at the same pace after reaching level 40? Otherwise they just aren't worth it in the long run.

As I understand it, the XP penalty doesn't slow gain, it just takes a bit each time you level, so once you hit 40 you're not actually losing any more xp.

That changed a while ago. Now it's part of the initial XP award calculation for defeating an enemy. I find it easier to work into that code rather than mess with another thing giving XP Debt (besides the first little bit of debt you get during character creation).

I'm not going to be dropping that for the level 40 characters, since technically the stat gains from the "xp store" are still a form of advancement.
