Project Zomboid servers can modify the rate at which players earn experience for skills. By increasing the XP Rate, players can enjoy faster progression towards the skills needed to survive, or even build a base. Adopting an increased XP rate also allows players to build skills on new characters quickly, lessening the punishment for dying and creating a more relaxed playstyle on the server.
