Regarding 40% hybrid XP penalties... I started EQ about midway between Kunark launch and Velious launch, as an Iksar SK. Some people were leery of the penalty, but I found that if you learned to play your character, it wouldn’t take long before people would look for you for their group. By my 20’s it just didn’t seem to matter to most people.

uwww iksar sk ... worst of the worst! I would never tell you in game, but silently in the group I sit there and feel how slow xp goes since you joined. About the same as someone 5+ lvls higher joining.

60% :-)

Xp per mob might have been less per person, but I could pull fast and maintain total aggro so kills were fast. Casters in my groups got used to not ever getting hit. That counted more than not getting quite as much xp. And you build a group of friends who aren’t min/maxers who play to have fun.... you are playing to have fun?
