Now, I know the exp system doesn't have much use at the moment, but what if it were used in some other way to provide small benefits towards a character's role play? Simple things, nothing fancy. Some immediate thoughts that come to mind are:
At certain thresholds, one can design a custom rumor about their character (pending approval) to be applied towards the list of rumors in inns.
A small role-playing prop (neither weapon nor armor) that can be used to explain some part of a character's background.
Perhaps an additional language if appropriate in their background and pending staff approval?
Maybe the chance to unlearn an ability if nothing else is forthcoming?
Maybe an RPA for those that don't *really* get into the role-playing part of the game? Or as much as they would like?
I'm sure there are other things that could be done that are relatively simple, too, but damned if I can come with them at this moment.

Vestigial EXP system and it's uses
A shadowy wolf with luminous blue eyes emerges from the edge of the redwood grove, its stance and gait non-aggressive. Maintaining several yards distance, it sits. Several others begin to emerge from various points in the foliage around you, causing you to realize you have been surrounded. The first wolf stares at Vighon for many long moments, unmoving and unblinking, as the surrounding wolves remain still. Then the first wolf stands, turns, and heads back into the redwood grove. The surrounding wolves disappear back into the surroundings.
