Experience

Experience is earned via two ways.

Posting
Experience gained by posting works like so, for every 50 Words you get 1,000 experience. When you are posting it is advised that you keep track of the amount of Paragraphs you have done as it will help when you are going to update your character you need to do is keep track of the post numbers that you've made. When you've reached a certain amount (your choice in this case) update for that much experience.
*note that this form of experience will not work during fights - That means should you fight you will not gain experience from posting.
