Points not showing?

I went in with a group and killed a ton of monsters and no points showed up?
Is there a glitch in the program?
We can not lvl up if nothing is going to come of of the work we do ...yes?

This could come from a couple of reasons

1. if you're a much higher or lower level than the area you're playing in you get a harsh exp penalty

2. exp is dolled out based on your level in the group, higher level players get a higher percentage of the exp.

either way you do get some exp, it may just not be a significant amount of what you need to level up.

This wiki article explains it all in detail.

fascinating, but i do know about the point spread and lvling,
But thank you anyway.

Well if it's not one of those two reasons, I've got nothing, good luck finding out why.

Another possibility is you died in Cruel or Merciless and lost experience.
