We released a server-only Bugfix to restore proper defense of creatures.
Background: Because of this bug, the logic to increase def_xp of players was applied to creatures as well.
The def_level of creatures, however, is statically assigned, they don’t have any def_xp. But the broken code incremented the non existing def_xp from 0 to 1. This in turn triggered a calculation of the def_level and overwrote it with 10 (the def_level for def_xp=1).

This announcement is outdated. It turned out that we introduced a simple bug which has been fixed in the mean time.
The intention of the recent release Encouraging Exploration was to make it more interesting to explore all areas of the world. Among other changes, we modified the combat system to support teaming up of stronger and weaker players. In reality, however, this change had the opposite effect because players got significantly stronger on their own: For example, a Deathmatch can now be completed easily by a lone hero.
We reverted the changes to the combat system as a quick temporary solution. We will take our time to develop a proper solution in one of the next releases.
PS: You still gain attack-experiences for every hit, you land against creatures. This is true even when an another player protects you from getting hurt. We did not revert that change.
Did you know? We have a public development chat.

Stendhal has a rich and diverse world with many places to explore, different types of monsters to fight and items to discover. It is now more beneficial to use weapons and armor that is appropriate for your level instead of aiming for the best weapon in the game at a low level.
Furthermore you can now gain attack-experiences for every hit you land against a creature, even if another player protects you from getting hurt.
