Here's how it is.

Battle mode gains normal experience, 100%. While in battle mode, you can attack and be attacked by members of enemy/neutral kingdoms. If you die, you will lose about 4 plat per level. If you have no money, you'll lose body parts .. and it seems that you can lose tools as well, I've found shovels and axes around. You will not gain experience for killing another player, and you will not lose experience for being killed by a player or monster.

In peaceful mode, you will gain 75% of the possible experience. You will not be able to be hurt by players at all, but if you die you will still lose the 4 plat per level, or whatever else.

Remember one thing, that being that your items drop where you died, and that you can always run back to get them.

If you don't want to get PKed, stay out of battle mode. You used to only get 50% of the full experience, but now it's 75%! Big improvement.

When it comes to money .. if it's truly that important to you, then stop at your house every few hundred plats or so to store it .. or even just find a hidden spot and put it in a bury bag! There are ways to avoid losing your hard-earned money.

I think this is a very big improvement! I no longer need to worry about losing my hard-earned experience .. money is hardly as important, in my opinion.
