In Men & Magic, the experience chart tops out at 9th level for fighters, 11th level for magic-users, and 8th level for clerics. In Greyhawk, thieves top out at 10th level, but there is a note that they need +125,000 xp for each additional level (which is the total required for 10th level). Does anyone know what the official word for the other three classes is? Did I miss something? Is there a note in The Strategic Review or The Dragon?
The tables have definitely been changed for AD&D, so using that as a reference doesn't work.
My inclination would be to follow the same format as thieves in which case fighters need and additional 240,000 per level, magic-users 300,000 per level, and clerics 100,000 per level.

I'm planning to use 100.000 for everyone. Not shure thought. I'll think about it when it becomes a real concern.

FWIW, I reckon:
Fighters +120K per level over 8th
MUs +100k per level over 9th
Clerics +100k per level over 8th
(In my game, 600kxp = F12/C13/MU14.)
That should agree with the tables in M&M, so far as they go (or else I've probably mistranscribed my notes).

I saw those values before, but I thought that fighters could get a little help.

FWIW, I use the same numbers Dwayanu posted.

Hmm, it's interesting that with those numbers, thieves eventually have the slowest progression at +125k. I've always wondered about the D&D (or more so AD&D) experience progressions. It always seemed weird to me that magic-users could get ahead of fighters level wise, though granted they can never get ahead of fighters on hit points or THAC0, so the level difference becomes something abstract.

What has drawn my attention is that Clerics tend to be a level ahead of Fighters.
Gotta look at the bigger picture to put that in perspective -- and one may yet be tempted to tweak (witnesss the Greyhawk supplement).

I've never been bothered by clerics being a level ahead of fighters. To some extent, they are a jack-of-all-trades master-of-none class. They are limited in their melee ability, and get spells, but their spells are sort of support level.
But somehow, when magic-users get ahead of fighters, I feel something's wrong. But I think that's partly due to having drifted away from the early style of dungeoning where the magic-user would run low on spells, yet the PCs wouldn't tuck in to rest up. When the magic-user is allowed to dictate when rest periods occur, the magic-user can afford to be much more free with the exciting magic.
