[2021] xp penality?

The exp penalty is a deficit, a 'Debt' you pay off by gaining experience. It's 10% of your total exp required to the next level per death.

So if you require 100k exp to gain a level, but are halfway through the level, you'd get 10k debt, not 5k; And any exp you gain first goes towards settling the debt. Once the debt is fully paid, it's back to business as usual.

Yep! Oh, and I did forget one thing, There is a cap to the debt. 25% of the total exp required to the next level. So 2.5 deaths worth, assuming you don't pay any of it off between deaths.
