I have five characters parked in meditation squares and bookshelves across the grid (Serpentine, Necropolis, QCC, private lairs). All have different level energies, including some who are close to zero energy (with no jobs) and some at full energy with jobs. Energy hasn't changed for any of them - only experience, and it has gone up across the board. Again, using Abel as an example, his energy has been at 49.4 -- but his experience has gone up 1.6% (allowing him to level up).

As for employment, there was a bug report already made, and it is apparently fixed.
That said, I have no idea what / how he fixed...

I don't think it is all together fixed, my gal with a job is in the negatives again. Same at Blood.

I parked a character on a meditation space for 7 hours, and gained 210 exp. The energy level of the character didn't move. That seems to be what is supposed to happen. The character had no job, and the Meaner Things power wasn't used.

If characters are gaining energy while they are on such squares, then I think something is wrong. Maybe using Meaner Things can trip the system?

I'll park Megan back into the square after running her energy down a bit, and see if she too gets dipped into negatives for having a job. I'll screencap it and post it to your bug report if it does. FOR SCIENCE!

getting exp for nothing already sits uneasily with me.
This IS so that you can get xp for doing nothing, It is so that RP'ers can write about a vampire that is higher than lvl 10.

They are gaining exp for literally all of the energy. A fraction of the exp it's possible to gain if they actually moved. As for RPers, they can't exchange much for RPP unless they have energy to burn, which they don't if they are using training squares. It's really only ever useful for people who are in vacay mode or who know they won't be able to move for a few days.

I think it's important to point out that no one is disputing what the bookshelves/meditation etc items do, so much as a bug where the items are giving Pi BOTH energy (she's building up energy) AND the 30XP bonus - at the same time.

Could be a bug just for Pi, I'll need to answer David's question about Meaner Things. It's been a busy week so I haven't logged into Pi for a while, but I'll test tonight and post screen shots
