Experience requirement (mmrpgorigins)

To base the experience curve off of, I am using y₂ for the experience yield equation.

The first enemy the player will fight will either be one in the tourney, or one in the city. Let's say that this opponent has a BST of 115 and is level 1. This opponent will be defeated in 2-3 turns, and will probably inflict 6 or so damage. Since the player will most likely have any experience boosting items, this will look like...

{[(115/20) * (1 + 3/(6/3))] + [1 + 1(115/50]}1
[(6 * 2.5) + (1 + 2)]1
(15 + 3)
18 Experience

Because of this, in order to have a comfortable starting point, the requirement for level 1 has to be 26-34 Experience, which means a player can defeat 2 opponents to level up, or defeat another player in order to automatically level up (though that will be much more difficult)

This is going to be difficult, as the only variable to work with is the level...

11.5(n *(2.5 + (n/10)))

With this equation, the requirement for level 100 is 14,375. This is concerning me, because I am afraid that someone would gain too much exp from the about formula. Let's try this out...

A Nurse defeats a level 85 opponent (I'm planning this to be the highest level that enemies can show up in). Its BST is (gosh I dunno) 1365. This was defeated in 5 turns, but it inflicted about 43 damage total before being defeated. At this point, the average player will probably be carrying an item that grants them a 1.5x experience boost.

y₂= {[(1365/20) * (1 + 5/(43/3))] + [1 + 85(1365/50]}1.5
[(68 * 1.34) + (2320)]1.5
(91 + 2320)1.5
3617

Actually, that kind of doesn't seem very bad. I may just slightly tweak the experience requirement formula a bit more to have less sharp curve. This is a forum game, so it'll merely be updated every day or so.
