Mind, there are some exceptions. Eve Online, for example, doesn't have 
XP, but it does have a sort of equivalent. As you add skills to the 
training queue, those skills improve, a set number of points over time, 
eventually giving you a "level" in that skill. Literally everything from 
how well you mine ore, to which ships you can fly, and how accurate your 
weapons are, effective your armor/shield, etc. may be, and so on, is 
determined by which of these you spent time "studying".
