Although I generally approve of classic EQ's various rigours (and vehemently decry anything beyond the second expansion, but that's another thread) I have to say the class-based experience penalty is really quite disheartening and the notion of a shared experience penalty is simply absurd. That being said, I can respect the developers dedication to the 'classic' experience (as subjective an idea as it is, apparently) and take consolation in knowing that the penalties will be abolished at some point within the Velious expansion. If it were removed today I'd be entirely thrilled, if I have to wait for Velious I imagine I can do that as well. I will add however that as someone who likes to create alternate characters I'd much appreciate anything which would lenify the 1-30 grind in particular.
