I don't dispute that there are probably still issues with stat gain. The trouble is, that code is pretty hairy and really really needs to be refactored. I have looked at it and have not found any obvious bugs that would account for the stat gain problems people have described (but see above wrt hairy -- read bug-obscuring -- code). I have also not had a lot of success duplicating the problems. Yesterday, for example, I started a n00b mage char & gained int very quickly from casting Magic Arrow.

I don't expect to have a chance to clean up the skill gain/stat gain code for Pub 18, but I am tentatively planning something for the publish after that. I'm not a designer, so I don't really have a lot of say in this, but personally I would like to see things changed so you just gain a stat every 15 minutes. It's arguable that that could be abused (just leave yourself logged in) but you could just as easily be unattended macroing in your house or a remote location, so I don't think that would stop "cheaters." Therefore I'm not sure it's worth making it harder on honest players who JUST WANT
