I Remember during leveling in the original wow that i got group bonus xp for having 3 or more people in the dungeon or group, I’m wondering if it was super early in the game or if it was end of it close to tbc time, i just remember that I would always want at least 3 people in my group to get that bonus xp, i looked for when it was removed but couldn’t find it, (didn’t look super hard) Does anyone remember which patch this was, id like to see that back in classic, anyone else know when this was? #nochanges!

I remember this and my memories of this where in TBC and WOTLK i think. I could be wrong but I don’t recall this being a thing in Vanilla. You would see the + group exp in brackets in combat log if u had it logging exp.
That wasn’t classic though wasn’t it wraith?
Wasn’t in Classic. Leveling even duo could be much slower.
I think Vanilla had a group bonus only if you had 3 or more people. But the exp still split, so a mob dropping say 200 Exp. would still split evenly to the three players. But since it’s a group of 3 people it would add in say 15 to the total so 200 + 15
I could be wrong i think it was the end of Vanilla but i could be wrong.
I do distinctly remember there being additional exp in groups in Vanilla.
It was still way less XP than when doing stuff solo but I think it was there to encourage grouping up.
Even if this was in vanilla which I can’t recall something as minor as this, I don’t think it would be optimal to do this unless you are in a super high density area, or if you’re grouping with people you know and try to make the most out of it by pulling separate mobs. Like if I were to run into red ridge and just group up with randos, chances are they won’t be carrying their weight and your doing all the work.
Either way I don’t think the bonus would be enough to try to take advantage of.
Pretty sure this didnt come until wrath

XP bonus was in wrath along with the lvling gear
How would a Demon Hunter know? You were not in Vanilla
Demon Hunters were in cata lmao
Luckily we don’t have to trust our memories.
Blizz does have the 1.12 server data so they have the right answer, whatever it is.

Actually i could log on a P server real quick group with 2 ppl and kill a random mob. It’s still a 1.12 client.
You think the client has something to do with this?
I’m sorry but I wouldn’t consider a P server a reliable place to get info on the classic version of the game. Mainly because its a emulator its not blizzards game. What I do remember is that I had a 60 rogue that I would kill mobs in SM with my Priest alt, from my second account, but I would invite a random 3rd person to the group because the xp would actually go from ~100 to ~130 per kill, (Which would show up as a group bonus on the chat window when I had on xp in the chat notification,) by just adding a 3rd person. This is what I’m referring too not any heirlooms recruit a friend or anything to this nature.

Yes it’s a 1.12 client sure enough but the server side is not authentic.
It’s a version put together with whatever data they perhaps had and the rest is guesswork and made to work with the client.
It cannot be trusted just like our memories cannot be trusted.
But like I said Blizz has the real data so all we need to do is wait and see.
