Level up!

Quick q --

Can you keep playing / accumulating EXP while the Level up! is still present.

Say I can't decide what to stat someone in.
Can I keep on playing grid and let the EXP accumulate and level up a few levels in one go later on?

I am new myself but I think you can still accumulate more experience

You can accumulate up to double your current level up goal, yes. If that makes sense.

....ish?

Basically it is the addition of two consecutive levels with the equation on the exp table here, or...?

Theoretical vampire at level three would be:

(4 x 200) x ((4 x 0.2) +1) / 2 = x

(5 x 200) x ((5 x 0.2) +1) / 2 = y

x + y = amount of exp I can accumulate before having to level up through 4 and 5?

x = 720

y = 1000

I can get up to 1720 exp before it stops adding up and I'm forced to level else I stagnate, is that right?

Or when you say DOUBLE - is that up until level 6 (meaning I can accumulate up to 3040 exp)?

Actually Boss, it is more than double.

If that is buggy, I didn't know. Sorries. >.<
But have held off on leveling up in the tut hub and out of it with more than a few different characters.

It started by my holding off on leveling up on Odin, as I am vamp-sitting, and at one point we had up to six in a row to do. >.<

I can vouch for this as well.

off topic, but now i am curious, i can understand holding off on odin, cause was just sitting, and may not know how the owner would want developed, but if it is your own vampire, why would you WANT to hold off on leveling?

For me.. I have held off on Wilson for a time, because I didn't know how I wanted him to go. If i was unsure.. I didn't want to waste the level up.. if I had an epiphany a week or so later.

My older characters, they are well established and have a plan. Wilson did not have a plan for a while. So i held off.

TL;DR What Susan said.

My response:
As primarily a roleplayer, I'm driven by story, especially on my newer characters. I grind on the daily and thus accumulate experience points faster than I know what to do with them (especially this week). Instead of losing a handful of points to a stat that might not be to be in line with the character's in-game activities / personalities / situation, I rather hold off a wee bit and just... do it when I'm ready. I was just wondering how long one could do that until it was at one's own expense.

Not sure if it's a bug that we can go further than just two levels...

ditto plus it is more fun to level up a few at a time, imo.

and... I got this weird odd/even number issue thing... >.<
