And I guess the larger point I'm making is that we probably don't know enough about the XP system in EQ (even after 20 years) to claim that something has changed from Blue.

I'm pretty sure (but we'd need an expert researcher like Dolalin or Rygor to confirm) that the
mechanics of light blue XP never changed. The only thing that ever changed (right at the end of Velious IIRC) was the
coloring: mobs who conned green, but gave XP, suddenly started conning light blue (but continued giving the exact same XP).
So again "under the hood", both before and after, I
believe things worked identically. And the people that are knowledgeable about this sort of thing (Dolalin, Rygor, Nilbog, etc. ... but not me) are likely very clear on how it all works. That wiki page just needs someone like them to update it.
P.S. One more thing: keep in mind that on live people used a packet sniffing cheat program called ShowEQ, which let them see the
exact numbers for things like XP that were sent to the servers. That program (and the records people kept from it) was a
huge source for much of the data here (and our understanding of classic EQ in general) ... and so it's really not true to say that we "don't know enough about the XP system".
