  I also had a great game going with about 40000+ gold and over a million
experience points but my score was still only:


Number Points  Name                                                   Hp [max]
  1 341286  drseuss-W escaped the dungeon [max level 28].            175 [175]


So,  I'm positive the scoring doesn't give you 5 times the experience points.
However,  I am not sure about how gold and other things are scored.
It would be interesting to know how the game calculates your points though...
