Well, I guess you're right in some wierd way :) But if you go and examine
the limits.c file, you will find some routines that handle the XP gain.
If you have an unmodifyed version of CircleMUD 3.0 bpl8+ (I never had
anything earlier than bpl8 :P), you should be able to 'understand' that
the character will be automatically advanced through the levels untill
lvl immort, and if scoring enough XP I beleave it goes all the way to lvl
imp.
What you 'should' do, is to put a check in the routine, and simply NOT
advance the char if the char is LVL_IMMORT-1 or higher...
Alternately, you might allso want to 'stop adding xp' to the character...
which you could allso do arround the same procedure... if I'm not
mistaken, the procedure you should modify is called : gain_exp()
I might not remember correctly, and I don't have the source handy, so
maybe someone else could correct this message if I'm wrong.
