Can you stop being ignorant. How can you expect Original EQ NOT to be an argument on a classic server?

At this current point in time... we have been camping Ghoulbane for close to 10 hours....

We started, and the human cleric was half way through 24, and I was 3 blue into 25.. now hours and hours later, I am half a blue to 27, and the cleric is 1 blue to 27. Strange?

Oh and the paladin was 17 blue through 26 , now he is 8b into 27.

So I'm getting a little bit more xp than the Paladin, but a lot LESS than the cleric?

I amend my earlier post; while I still think the leveling speed feels high relative to my memory, it seems restricted to specific areas. Sol A, in particular, seems to have an extremely high experience modifier. I gain more experience for a blue kill there than a yellow or red in other dungeons I've been to. Perhaps someone made a typo and added a zero to the ZEM by accident? 10 hours in Guk, on the other hand, netted me experience gains at about the rate I expected.

------------------------------------------------------

That being said, there might be something funny going on with group XP division.

Goobles made a slight typo. I was 17 blue through 25 when we started, not 26. When we got finished, I was an orange and a half (8b) or so into 27 and Goobles was very nearly at exactly 27. In a group that spent approx. 10 hours fighting, his mage gained on me from 14 blues behind, to about 8.5 or 9 blues behind. The Cleric (my wife), who was a hair *farther* behind Goobles than he was behind me--pulled dead even with him by the end of the night. All three of us were in the same group fighting the same mobs.

This is interesting due to our classes. I play a Paladin, which should have a 40% penalty. Goobles' mage should have a 10% penalty, while the Cleric should have normal exp gain. The Cleric gained on the Mage at a faster rate than the Mage gained on the Paladin, even when she was equal level to the Mage (ie, when they were both 25 and 26). The particularly odd part was seeing Goobles make less experience than other INT casters, both higher- and lower- level than him.

Goobles that's because some races/classes have exp penalties...

I answered no even though it seems a little slower to me but I am playing a XP penialized race or class or both so i think I am getting either 20% or 40% slower than the human monk I played in the original game. Either way, I should have answered "I don't care" because I'm just glad this game is back.

For example - I'm sitting here in an upper guk group... we have three level 24's, a level 28, and two level 25's.

After clearing for a rotation, the level 24's have gotten 2.5 blue each, the level 25's have gotten less than a full blue, and the level 28 doesn't know, he thinks between 1 and 2 blue.

Something is definitely wrong with how exp is divided.

Now, if all those "I don't care" folks had voted yes, it would be a better poll.

Would you care to explain the difference between human cleric / human paladin / gnome mage then?
