Other than that everything appears to be going pretty much how classic did. Soloing as a solo class was ALWAYS better exp than grouping. Also, the emphasis on "soloing" you're describing is more just people asking questions on forum. Who is going to post a question asking which class can group the best? Actually, you do see these threads asking which class is needed at 50, etc.

There are tons of groups in game.

Totally agree with you about mage pets. This server is working with 2005 mage pets, not 1999 mage pets.

However, solo exp was only better than group exp on a per kill basis. A GOOD group should be able to at the VERY MINIMUM keep pace with a solo class, and then pass the solo player due to their down time. The downtime can be anything from getting mana to waiting on mobs to spawn. The only real exception to this rule seemed to be necro's due to their dark pact spell line.

Honestly, a warrior/2x rogue/ench/cleric/wiz group should never be out paced in exp by a solo mage.
