you're getting into another bowl of wrong with the player base...i dunno. i don't think it's the attack code that keeps folks playing or not.

i do agree with old thundermuscle, that the xp bonus was nice for defeating someone of a higher overall strength.

the code was being abused though cause people were jsut taking off their armor (or finding someone that did damage with armor on) and got beat up enough to get them to the bonus points. it wasn't hard to get big xp during those days that was in effect.
