Hm... do they return at all?

Hm.. I think we tried that, long ago. IIRC we didn't get any exp,
even if one player summoned stuff and another player killed it.

Including avatars and holy servants? I recently started a newbie
character on another server (i.e. no equipment...), so now I have some
more up-to-date newbie experience -:) We have used avatars and holy
servants to get wisdom exp, but for some monsters you need a couple
of avatars to get them killed. Holy servants are much weaker...

Can you summon powerful monsters (other than your avatar) when you
only have low experience? Also, pets are quite useless because they
seem to stand around you, instead of going for the monsters... which
makes them only useful when you try to pick up things that you can't
reach. However, you to kill them to get at your stuff... Anyway,
since since you can't control them, they are too stupid to survive
long enough to actually kill something. So please try to be careful
with negative experience...
