Well the current system does work well. I think the xp noteriety thing came up as some races on Thay suffer heavy noterity penalties like elves for instance. Some players who have chosen elves work very hard at rp and trying to achieved their rankings.
You can have two players starting at the same time and maybe play the same amount of time however one is and elf and lets say one is a human. The human will advance more in noteriety than the elf for the same amount of effort put in.
Though it has been curbed somewhat the fastest way to gain noteriety is to be an evil slaver or evil period to be a human or half human.

What is the race percentage of people who seem to have shot up too fast? How many hours at a time did these players play for? Are these the same player with different characters?

If anything I think the race favortism as far as note be nerfed somewhat to allow more diversity. Have it based on rp and quests done and maybe a slight edged but not too much for being a certain race. This is not a slight against anyone admins or players. I can understand the place being true to the Thayan belief that humans rule and others drool but this is being touted as an rp server offering races aside from humans.
