hmmm. I think you have to restart the game. sorry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I thought the 1.44 patch allowed you to change difficulty levels in game?

hmm. it might. haev't checked sense 1.0 check options I guess...

Check under options | game.

Does changing difficulty levels only affect experience gained? What about?

Number of monsters?
Quality of loot dropped?
Amount of gold dropped?
etc?

I believe it effects all those.

I haven't noticed any difference in exp in Hardcore, even though all i've been able to kill is rats. Stupid Fergus... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Difficulty does not effect experience gained directly, but there are additional monsters in various places. Primarily the difficulty level effects how many hit points/mana everyone has, and your chance to hit / be hit. On hardcore, each character has a 30% chance of getting an extra skill point when leveling up (9% chance both will). It does not effect the story or quests, and I don't think it effects the quality or amount of loot dropped (aside for the extra opponents).
