Where'd you see that part about the 'slow' PvE XP? It wasn't so bad last time I played there 1.5 years back, to be honest - it used to be ALOT worse on Uthgard, and even more worse than that, during the first era of DAoC LIVE itself! Solo XP in DAoC sucks outright, I'd never recommend leveling that way to anyone, especially since buffbots are against the rules, just like on P99. Group xp can be exremely fast depending on group make up and location, but I'd suggest making friends and grouping with the same players as often as possible, provided you find the types you're looking for.
I believe it was Blue who stated that there was a bug causing issues with xp gain on the Uthgard boards. From what I had gathered from his post at the time was that was one of the core reasons why they were doing the revamp so they could eliminate the bug. He was claiming they never knew about it until recently if I recall. I played DAoC when it launched on live and xp was slowish but nowhere near as bad as on uthgard. I don't recall the specifics but maybe he said it had something to do with "camp" bonuses?
