We made a number of changes to Secret of the Sosltice this week, chief among them a big improvement in the way experience points work in the game. The amount of experience needed to level up has been decreased, and the amount of experience players receive when killing monsters has been increased. This will make it easier for everyone to level their characters.

We do our very best to listen to feedback from the player community and want everyone to have the best possible experience in and around our games. Some of the other major changes to Secret of the Solstice:

**The Solstice Trainer and Guide have been promoted and are now easier to find in Arcarinas Square.

**The in-game Leveling Guide has been adjusted to better inform you of what is available at your level.
