In BatMUD we used to have a problem with players who kill only
few monster (those considered to give big experience). We did
the opposite you are doing: if a monster is killed too often
it will give less and less exp and is also tougher. Our system
(with explore points) was supposed to encourage exploring.
Don't your system have similar problems? Don't your system
require that players must visit an area regurarily?
