Was the EXP penalty in classic?

[Greenhoe]

I was wondering if the race / class EXP penalties were in classic EQ or is it just something they do for this server? getting 20% less exp just because of your race seems like a big disadvantage.

Get's much worse than 20% if you are a hybrid I'm afraid.

The races that have penalties also have racial bonuses that the non-penalty races do not.

Ogres - Frontal stun immunity and Slam
Trolls - Regen and Slam
Iksar - Regen, Innate AC bonus, Forage, Start with Swim (100)
Barbarian - Slam

If you feel that the disadvantage is big, there are a large number of races to choose from that have no penalty. There is even a race with a bonus.

So when you all say yes, were you answering yes to the first or second part of the Question? Was the penalty of race / class in the old classic live version of EQ?

Yes, certain races have xp penalties on this server and on the original live servers. Certain classes (hybrids/bards) also have class xp penalties, which are active on this server and on the original live servers. The class xp penalties were removed from the live servers around the time of Luclin, so the removal of the class penalties will likely not occur during the life of this server.
