We all know that dying in 1.8 with some experience on you is a death sentence. As in, you won't be able to play anymore, since the insurmountable quantity of entities dropped will crash your server/render your save unplayable. So I figured out a solution:
Why not drop a SINGLE orb?
Make a few sprites of increasingly-bigger orbs and count how much EXP the player had. Take 1/4 from the previous EXP amount and put it on a single orb that drops upon death. Anyone who collected this mega-orb would instantly earn ALL the EXP it was guarding. Of course, it would still be 1/4 of your EXP, but better than nothing, and far better than an FPS nightmare.
Hell, it could even show its value on a number above it!
Please tell me what you guys think of this. I can't die on my saves anymore, or else I face a handicapped save with ridiculous lag issues. If you support the idea, please go to the GetSatisfaction thread. Thanks for the attention.
Well, its like playing on hardcore mode, isn't it? And like the guy above me, yeah, this was fixed.

Do you know what happened when the unstoppable force met an immovable object? The immovable object and the unstoppable force exploded in an unimaginable amount of energy and caused the Big Bang to occur. Now get a job, philosophers, and leave it to the scientists.
Well, I saw no fix here. I still got the exact same problem in my 1.9 pre4 save, tons of lag thanks to exp orbs... but well, if it has been actually fixed, my point is moot then. Drat.
I could ask a mod to close the thread then. And yeah, maybe shouldn't have asked for rep, maybe support on the GS thread. I'll fix this up.
