Yes, racial and class based experience penalties will be in place (as far as I know). Personally, I have argued against keeping class based penalties but for keeping racial penalties, but I haven't heard any change in policy yet.

If I remember correctly, half elves have no inherent penalty or bonus. Halflings get a small bonus, ogres trolls and iksar get a large penalty.

As far as penalties are concerned, I responded in the other thread but not this one.

Here's a copy of the information

29 //experience modifiers based on race and class, used if USE_RACE_CLASS_XP_MODS is defined
   30 //                            hum     bar     eru     elf     hie     def     hef     dwa     tro     ogr     hal    gno     iks,    vah     frog
   31 float  race_modifiers[15] = { 100.0f, 105.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 120.0f, 115.0f, 95.0f, 100.0f, 120.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f}; // Quagmire - Guessed on iks and vah
   32 
   33 //                            war   cle    pal    ran    shd    dru    mnk    brd    rog    shm    nec    wiz    mag    enc    bst    bes
   34 float class_modifiers[16] = { 9.0f, 10.0f, 14.0f, 14.0f, 14.0f, 10.0f, 12.0f, 14.0f, 9.05f, 10.0f, 11.0f, 11.0f, 11.0f, 11.0f, 10.0f, 10.0f};

legend: if smaller numbers are faster exp, then halfling warrior is fastest!

Rangers being heavily penalized when they're already the worst class makes zero sense (and Sony eventually admitted this).

But hey, Classic = Perfect right?

Sucks to be rangers in the story of classic. :(

Classic isn't perfect. It did, however, provide the fun and footwork necessary for sony to still be leeching money, 16 expansions later.
