     - There is a 1/100 chance for the break roll to succeed. This means that infixes will be used much more rapidly
       than they were before this release (except for people with 5 or more infix slots, which no one has at the time
       of this writing).
+      
+### Activities
+- Varying and widspread nerfs to XP rewards. This is a much-needed flattening of the curve; it's clear after nearly
+  a month of playtesting the the XP rewards are so high they heavily mitigate the intended effect of the XP curve.
+  Sorry to the lower-leveled players, but this is part of the playtest, plus you have the opportunity to test out
+  the new progression. This might look like you've been screwed, but really, when you think about it, you've actually
+  been gifted with opportunity. (Also there will be a server wipe before too long so don't sweat it.)
 
 ### Items
 - Apprentice wand can now be equipped in mainhand or offhand.
