:No. Suppose you just reached 10000 XP, and therefore reached level 11. If you then get drained, you will go down to level 10, and your XP will be set to 9999. If you gain at least one XP before being drained again, you'll be back where you started. (Actually, this is the ''best'' time to be drained, because it means you've effectively only lost 1 XP.) -- [[User:Killian|Killian]] 01:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
