Game Mechanics: (on RED) Death in hell level taking too much exp

[BarackObooma]

This is on RED server.

I was almost 1/2 way through 40 last night (about 11 1/2 blue), I died twice. I had 4 1/2 blue left in my level. When I got two clickie rezzes the next day, I gained almost 7 blue back.

A normal level death should be about 1/2 yellow (2 1/2 blue). A hell level death should appear to be about 1/2 that since you have to gain almost double experience. Conversely, the level after a hell level you lose about double (almost a yellow). For some reason, I lost about 1 1/2 times as much as a regular level.

I'm not sure if this is only a red problem as I haven't had this problem on blue.
