Description:
The Underdark is primarily a plot-driven hack-and-slash adventure server that emphasizes party play. XP on the server is slower than on most others, however there are many areas to explore so that you will not have to repeat the same areas many times in order to gain levels. Furthermore, there are a number of quests that serve to both further the plot and provided experience and money for their completion.
You'll find that magical items are very expensive in stores and become increasingly expensive at higher levels--but don't worry! There is a lot of treasure to be found in The Underdark. While you'll have enough gold to get by, you will need to watch your spending so that you can afford the best equipment.
Finally, it should be noted that while there is a ton of content, the module is definitely not finished. In fact, players are often happy to find that new content is added EVERY SINGLE DAY. This includes areas, items, monsters, quests, stores, and even entire behind-the-scenes system, such as ones for housing and the PC journal.

XP System:
You'll find that getting experience in The Underdark is slower than on most servers. However, unlike these servers, you won't find yourself playing the same areas over and over again in order to gain levels.
The XP system in The Underdark is 100% unique. Party play is emphasized, so parties NEVER SPLIT XP. In fact, parties receive experience point bonuses based on the number of PCs in the party. Every PC beyond the first will cause the party to receive a cumulative bonus of +7% experience, up to a maximum of +35%. Experience per kill is calculated on the highest level member of the party to prevent power-leveling. Every in the party receives identical experience.
The most effective way to level in this system therefore is to party with up to 5 other people who are approximately your level. Parties with members who are more than 5 levels apart will receive no experience for monster kills.
Most of the experience that you will gain in this server comes from killing monsters, however there are also many quests which are worth doing not only do you earn extra XP, but you also get pretty nice rewards from them.
