For my mud I made it 1/2 the experience needed from the beginning of the
current level to the beginning of the next level.  So at level 1 you can get
a max of 1k or so.  Along the same lines, I also made it so that characters
get xp from a kill based on their level instead of a flat rate for everyone.
This was a level 10 char gets approx 10x what a level 1 gets when they're
grouped together.
