P99s 1-59 game is better. No doubt about it. Live is way too streamlined and pat and solo exp is so bad it might as well not exist, not to mention the pervasive influence of krono everywhere. The only thing live has over p99 is much more badass NPC casters - they will chain heals and nukes way WAY better than the p99 AI. Other than that though, its not better during leveling. Good zones are crowded, groups are very cliquey, apots off their version of the beaten path can be very uneven in exp.
Different story at endgame though, where it is literally not even physically possible to be worse than p99.
