Where does all that XP go?

[noobmigo]

Actually, your accrued XP becomes run-off when the level cap is raised. Run-off that filters into the little known XP Wells that dot the countryside. (What? You thought those were oases in AO?) XP wells are the source of all the XP you gain in the game. Without run-off, the wells would dry and no one would be able to level. Ever. Again. See? It's just part of the big XP Circle of Life.

I heard that the extra XP goes to the devs, who donate Care Bears to the orphans for every 10000 XP.
