If I may say something, this is my first server for EverQuest (I played Vanilla WoW in high school), and I play a Troll Shadowknight, dat penalty doe.
BUT! I love playing it, I'm level 30 and work amazing in groups, I never heard the phrase "Sorry we're not looking for SKs" or the like so far in my short career of playing. I don't even notice exp going by that slowly and when I'm grouped with people I'm having a great time so most of the time I ding without realizing I was that close to level.
IMO I don't think they should remove the penalty at all. Even in AD&D, and I mean real AD&D none of that 3rd ed. and newer shit, there was varied exp for classes, experience boosts (not penalties) for having high stats in an attribute, attribute caps for classes/races and even level caps for basically anything other than a Human. I wish we had MMOs out there that were even more strict to AD&D 1st Edition rules.
