Level System:
Hellgate:London shows character progression by leveling them. So far the level cap is 50 for all. Flagship has hinted that the level cap may be raised as the ongoing content gets released later on for those who chose to pay for subscription. The perks of levelling up is 1 skill point, 5 attribute points and per level along with some extra health and power.
How to receive exp:
This can be accomplished one of two ways.
-Killing monsters
-Finishing quests
EXP Summary
Each difficulty mode boost the EXP value of enemies. For Nightmare mode, in general, the level of mobs are its original level +30. For example: A Zombie in normal might be level 1-30 and give an EXP value of 50 – 100. The same zombie in nightmare mode might be level 31-60 and give an EXP value of 101-200.
Death Penalty:
The death penalty is only a -10% reduction in EXP gained for five minutes. The penalty does not increase, but the five minute timer resets if another death occurs. The death penalty only applies to characters above level 10.
Fighting monsters closer to your level will result in a quicker overall gain of experience. The larger the difference in level, the higher the experience penalty.
If the mob’s level is x levels higher than your character’s level, the following penalties are applied to its base xp:
0-2 levels higher: 100% xp
3 levels higher: 95% xp
4 levels higher: 90% xp
5 levels higher: 80% xp
6 levels higher: 70% xp
7 levels higher: 60% xp
8 levels higher: 50% xp
9 levels higher: 40% xp
10 levels higher: 30% xp
11 levels higher: 20% xp
12 levels higher: 10% xp
13 levels higher or more: 5% xp
If the mob’s level is x levels lower than your character’s level, the following penalty is applied instead:

2 levels lower: 78% xp
3 levels lower: 65% xp
4 levels lower: 50% xp
