Game Mechanics: max exp per kill

[Furniture]

Remember back in classic how druid powerleveling was the most effective and powerleveling wasnt as easy back then for other classes as it is now?

I distinctly remember there being an exp cap per kill back in the day.

Upon research, i found:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/alt.games.everquest/exp$20cap/alt.games.everquest/wD46Ujyo5dE/ENVOQs2uyeoJ


"You can (I believe) never receive more than 1/11 of a level
from a single kill regardless of what you kill. "

"I think it's actually 11%, which is a little more. But yeah, it's capped
at about that much. "

"Yes there is a Cap and it is around 10 - 11% with the exception of this is
is zones with exp Bonuses "

"my impression was the cap on how much you can gain is a hard cap period...
ie, on a kill you might get 2% of a level, but with zone bonus of say 35%
you'd get 2.7%... whereas if you got 9% base, with a 35% bonus, you'd
still only get 11% (not the 12.15% the bonus would seem to entitle you
to). "




In regards to quest exp cap : "Hmmmm can't find it but thought I saw quest exp could get to 20% cap.
"



I doubt the powerlevelers are going to want this change, but this is indeed classic as I remember it distinctly being harder to PL due to an exp cap, just couldnt find any evidence until now.

"You cannot recieve more than 11% of your level in a single
reward. At lvl 1 you only need 900~1600 exp to level (dep on class/race)
so you are effectivly limited to 90-160 exp per kill,"

I remember such a cap existing also. On p99 you can ding from level 1 to level 6 in just one kill. There's no way that could be working as intended.

Pending update, you can gain no more than 11% of your current level from a single kill.

Pending update, you can gain no more than 11% of your current level from a single quest turnin. If you can find evidence to the contrary, this part of the change can easily be reversed.

Only if your not smart. Solution is to PL off lower level mobs. Yes it will take longer but it really only effects level 1-15 on non hybrids.

No evidence against this, however those posts are from 2002 and post luclin as evidenced by referencing Vah Shir's being PLed. So I don't really see any evidence for making this change.Would like to see some authentic era appropriate evidence for this change before that switch is flipped

Was this implemented in the last patch?

I know after doing the Brother Qwinn/Zephyl MQ's for my monk on live I went 1-6ish for two turn ins, but that was during Velious so not sure if it would apply.. not like quest caps would really change anything anyway though, aside from how authentic p99 is.
