Ah yes, but in a GOOD Quake level (I'm sounding like it's already out, I 
know)... you'll be able to run away from the battle and go shit-kick some 
monsters for EXP.  Exp would make for a rad game, if you can come back to 
your character later, ie. using a password.

	Again, the problem I pointed out earlier would rear its ugly 
	head : The people who have the time and interest would spend
	a great deal of time on a Quake server...if they were given
	some advantage by accumulating mass amounts of experience
	points, then they would tend to reign "god-like" over all
	the people who just want to run around and go on quests
	and adventures and such.
	This reminds me of my first (and only) time on a MUD adventure.
	From the moment I started, I was the "pawn" of the more powerful
	characters who spent all their time there. I got blown away
	quite quickly, and there was no enjoyment.
	I would argue vehemently against that sort of thing happening
	to the FUTURE of on-line gaming (read - Quake)!!!

	Sorry, 
	Craig.

NONONONONONONONONO! no experience! no saving your charactor! this will 
get into the problems craig mentioned! guys who basically lived in this 
game will save thier charactor when they go to sleep, and when they wake 
up, they'd still have 1oooo times as much as experience as you! beleive 
you me, EXP WILL SUCK!!
