Information
- Your level is also displayed with your character information.

Alternative Stats
- Your Alternative Stats can be viewed from the Character Information dialog. To begin, your alternative stats are equal to your actual stats. For example; if you have 25 strength, your stats will be displayed as 25/25. But if you were to drink a Strength Potion, your stats will be displayed as 30/25. 30 represents your alternative strength. This effects your damage,
health points, stamina points and other things associated with stats. The only thing your alternative stats do not increase is your ability to weild greater items and swing heavier weapons.

Yeah there is a crash within the accounts. This is why we have beta testing.

I'm gonna look at it today along with some other things. A new feature to look out for will be a new skill system. Skills will have Levels not % and you will also be able to see/gain experience for them. I have also written a new formula for the experience to work with. The new formula is atleast 8* easier after the first 50%. I'll also look at some other issues within the gameplay.

Thanks for the report, when the issue has been dealt with I'll post an update on the main page along with whatever else was added/changed.
