1. To get the Obs Exp edge point bonus for early exploration do I have to hit the minimums by level 29 or level 30. I believe the helpfile says prior to level 30 which means level 29 to me.

2. Do the areas which no longer give obs exp xp at early level open up at level 30 or level 31.

I had a similar thing happen where a known area explore (Actually Explores - 3 different places one login) gave nothing at level 51. I did get the Observation but a weird amount 3024 (I thought everything was multiples of 5).

So perhaps it was just some weirdness at the time. Guess you will just have to go back! That's my plan.

For me Umiron is doing an awesome job and I would prefer that now and again some weirdness gets broken and he keeps doing what he does.

I'll clarify the helpfile. It's level <= 30.

No observation / exploration points were removed.

Cause I think I've received 0 Expl. exp for Thar-Acacia on 29 level, last days of August.

It's been almost two years since anything related to exploration or observation changed in Thar-Acacia.

That may be true, but it has been less than 2 years (I'd say) since the observation exp system was changed to stop people getting exp from those areas at overly low level.

Observation points (mobs, objs, etc.) have always have a max level and no minimum level. None of the observation points for Thar-Acacia have changed since at least 2010.

Exploration spots used to have just a max level but in January of 2014 Daevryn introduced a minimum level as well. None of the exploration spots in Thar-Acacia have changed since January of 2014.

So I guess you could say it's been almost two years since anything related to exploration or observation changed in Thar-Acacia.

It generally was not regarded as a positive change, nor did it make people happy. I think if it went away for say everything not an area explore it'd be well received. And you'd still retain the benefits of low lvl chars not asking hero's to be ran through trothon etc.
