Hi Btitty thanks for writing, here' a less jagon'ed breakdown
Sorry about the bad neatness of the post
Lets assume all f2p are 1x exp online, p2p are 2x online
Lets now assume all players receive a pool that counts upward from 0 to say, 100k (this is just a number).
When the player does an action of any sort that generates exp, the game says "base exp + 25%" and depletes that 25% from the 100k pool.
Actual example:
p2p player is melee'ing a mob +20 levels over him or herself receiving 6k exp per kill. Player has 30k sleep bonus pool saved up.
game says, player gets 6k + 25% (+1.5k exp for a total of 7.5k per kill) the 1.5k is removed per kill (so 30k / 1.5k = 20 kills for 7.5k exp and then all the sleep bonus is used up)
from there you can see the rest is just balacing
the rate of adding up rested exp for p2p, f2p, can be different (1000 bonus points per 1hr etc (again im really just making this up, if you really want to sit down and try to balance real numbers we can certainly do that easily enough))
f2p and p2p can gain sleep bonus at different rates, and also the % increase per action can be used up at different rates (for the sake of balancing)
example, f2p is 1k bonus per 2hrs and gets +15% per action, p2p is 1k bonus per 2hrs and gets +25% per action (again all made up numbers)
At first I was going to say, oh no you aren't getting offline exp but then I realised.. in a way you ARE kind of... because you have to use the bonus but it IS a pool of exp that you can use, so you are gaining passive exp
Some games like wurm online let you choose when to use your rested exp (so lets say i really want to save it up for a hard skill like close combat) and some games like ffxiv use it up as soon as you use any action (you have to choose your actions wisely)
I'm just suggesting something fair and balanced that gives people who are offline a little help catching up, especially when we're paying for it
I don't have time anymore to play as much as I'd like and after a while it feels like I'm not getting my money's worth (but I' m really just paying to support the game even if i don't play it's fine honestly)
