The question is why experience seems faster. I doubt its due to incorrect experience tables. Those are known. Rather, I suspect it has to do with what we fight. For my part, practically every group I join chain-pulls yellow- and red-con mobs, which I cannot recall happening with any regularity ten years ago. Add in a greater understanding of mechanics and knowledge of where to go for optimal leveling speed, and its understandable--even inevitable--that people will level much more quickly now than in days past.
I believe Goobles is mistaken with regards to experience gains on live. I recollect that experience gains have indeed been tweaked on several occasions.
I suspect there's something funky going on with blue-con experience at low levels on P1999. However, this thread doesn't seem concerned about that specific sub-issue. Rather, I get an impression that Goobles' memory of 'classic' Everquest may have grown hazy over the passage of years. Losing more experience to a death than a single yellow-con mob would grant is most definitely correct, for instance.
