I've been wondering about group vs. solo exp. At this point in time during Live, I exclusively played classes that had to group, so I don't have a distinctive memory of the difference. What I certainly don't remember was constantly hearing that soloing was vastly better exp than grouping, nor finding a magician in every conceivable solo spot in the entire game, but this is clearly the case here. I can level significantly faster solo than I can in groups, and that's as an enchanter or shaman, not even the true solo-exp kings.
The impact this has on gameplay on this server is extremely obvious, and if this was the case in nineteen ninety-nine, I'll resign myself to the apparent fact that this is how it always worked and that people were just more willing to group back then.
So, to those of you who soloed extensively eleven years ago, was solo exp twice as good back then as well?

I solo'd extremely fast on my Magician, faster than grouping with my Necromancer was, but that was before pet nerfs and she was twinked to all hell with a ton of gear, all of the SolRo focus items that a close friend from live hooked me up with because I was too lazy to farm them myself (thanks CK!) and I had the Brazier of Elemental Summoning (which was affected by the focus from Torch of Alna). However, I'm an experienced raider and wanted to just get there asap, having already leveled one character through grouping on P99 to the 40s. If you want the full EQ experience, go with a group.
