Got a source on racial penalty not being shared, and reference to which time periods of classic era that does and doesn't apply?

I think what he means is it’s not directly shared as in someone with a penalty joins it’s not like a coded penalty for everyone else split equally.

How I understand it to be “shared” is that someone with a, say, 60% exp penalty has had to get much more exp to get to where they are, and since the game apportions the exp based on how much exp you’ve obtained already someone with a big exp penalty will take a lot more of the exp from each mob. So it’s kind of “shared” in that sense but it’s not like you personally get an added exp penalty. This is why it’s actually better to have someone of your level (or below) with a 40% exp penalty in your group rather than someone without one but who is like 5 levels higher than you (I think)
