I thought full group exp bonus was classic and significant .. or am I thinking of another game like daoc?

On live the xp bonus is significant; here it maxes out around 10% iirc with a full group.

Yup. I think that's about the right number. Just bump up the bonus for each additional group member and everyone will have more motivation to take people on. And then you could decrease the bonus when the class penalties fall away.

ok so the last time I played EQ was back in 2001. Only been playing on p99 for a few weeks. So I am surprised to learn that there is an XP penalty for group? I mean this seems counter-intuitive. What is the rationale for it?

There is actually a group exp bonus. It's very small.

The exp penalty they're talking about is the fact that hybrid and large-race exp penalties actually affect the entire group. When you invite a character with a 40% additional exp requirement, you get a small percentage less exp per kill because that character eats more exp. The same thing happens if you invite a character higher level than you.

The full info is here on the wiki: http://wiki.project1999.com/Experience

What it comes down to is "Group with people who have similar xp totals to you." Or just from a well-rounded group that can kill NPCs and don't worry about the exp totals.

I think it’s because the characters name is Potatus.

Remember, you're grouping for networking opportunities, and to promote synergy between classes.

A group's performance should be greater than what the sum performance of it's individual parts would have been.

I have a feeling they'll do something for Kunark launch.
