Solved Why solo play gain more exp?

There is nothing to be fixed here, it's always been working this way. This "party exp" thing has always confused both players and server owners so why not doing some google research with keywords like "muonline party experience", "muonline party experience bug"and "muonline party experience issue" you will find various explanations and forum threads from other servers and mu discussion forums.

First of all we are only talking about regular experience, master experience doesn't have a separate setting when it comes to party exp feature and it's also different and lower than normal experience.
Also 120% is not 120x as party uses a different algorithm and someone with higher level gets more exp than someone having a lower level in a party so this is what confuses you.

Let us take the maximum 5 party members example where you get 120% (that is 600 in server side because 600 / 5 = 120 as @sarkazmas mentioned), the experience is assigned to the party members according to their level but this doesn't mean each of you gets 120x experience. Each one will get 120% of the individual obtained experience that you are being assigned in a party depending on your level instead of 44% which is the default value in MU for 5 party members so this is the bonus you get. The only way to test it yourselves would be to set a test server with 1x exp, form a 5 members party and watch the exp during both phases, one with the default party formula and one with the increased one as it's set here.

Party members level is changing all the time, you are all forgetting that level in a party is the most important because the higher level you get, the more exp you gain. Someone reaching max level (this is the guy that had the higher exp of all party due to his level), reseting character and going back to the spot asking for party will pass the extra exp to the next higher level players.

You will never get equal exp in a party, this wouldn't even be fair, there is level gap and higher level players will always get more experience.

Research, get informed and you'll know how it works. You will find tens of similar opened thread, some of them without any answer because the owners themselves are confused about it but there are some that I fond myself who provide decent explanation (won't post them here as they are forums of other mu servers)

@sargaras during my google searches I found your name on another mu server where you previously played that has a thread providing legit explanation refering to your question, not sure if you are the same person but I assume you do because your country geolocation matches so feel free to check the same answers given there.

Also, not sure for how long you have been playing but ever since the server started full parties have always been popular here because it's all about players mentality and the community itself and you should have noticed that by know just by seeing the ammount of people posting available slots in party (in the non-reset server party is even more essential) as you always see someone posting it and that's because the community is awsome and it all comes down to this after all because there are lots of kind players.

@sarkazmas, I'm pretty sure you've been told not to quote the last post of a thread, use reply only. The "quote" function should be used when you either want to quote a part of someone's post or a previous existing post in the thread so that user will know you are answering to him, which in this case it's obvious already who you are replying to.

 

@sargaras don't imagine then and see the reality instead, everyone who asks for party on spot finds it in no time because parties have always been popular here and yes, we are online too and we can see that. As for the solo and party exping, you are lacking MU knowledge but the logic is simple, the game has been designed for the official server where the main advantage of a party is to kill mobs faster and level in stronger areas and there you get 44% out of the final exp (Note: this is not 44% of base server exp rate but of total party exp value that you are being assigned according to your level) that is being distributed to each player while here you get 120% (Note: this is not 120% of base server exp rate but of total party exp value that you are being assigned according to your level), that's how it works here and everywhere else. It's not about how you think it should work, it's about how the game actually works and that didn't changed since it has been released. I just sent you a private message with the direct link from the last server you played where the same explanation is given, just to prove how wrong you are and it would be great if people would listen others advices since they play this game for years and still lack ton of knowledge. I even gave you the google key words to search for that will lead to your previous servers where you say it was different, curious enough their forum threads say the same thing as there, I wonder why.

Take into consideration that this feature exists only in private server so ignore the zen drop rate because that will confuse you even more as not everyone realizes that experience in a party is assigned based on the higher level and in this case zen rate is based on a different algorithm, unless you never played on the official server for years probably most of the game aspects will be unknown to you because the official server contains the original game and settings, private servers are a whole different story, all are different. And don't forget about the 65535 visual bugs in mu.

I don't blame anyone nor being surprised about this because most players and even server owners don't know how this feature actually works, I mean they know that setting a value of 200 for 2 party members = 100% exp but they forget or simply don't know that being in a party uses a exp algorithm based on several factors. That's why your previous server and every other server works the same way.

Avoid mixing x10 answers into a x100 thread because you are confusing others even more, feel free to message us instead. He is talking about x100 and regular experience, the formula party is applied for base experience, mastering experience is a whole different story, the reset server players usually complete mastering once they are full rr/gr not before because of the seals effect for regular experience after reset.

PS: What part of don't quote last post before your own reply you don't understad? You've been told this twice by now and yet you keep ignoring it.

 

Oh, so you use the Reply button from a post, thats why. Try using the quick reply instead like everyone else, here is how http://prntscr.com/bftc7x

Your example is correct regarding normal experience: "I mean I know exp is not equal, but if you look closely, when you are alone no party, you get 8000 exp. When you party with another man, your experience is increased from 8000 to lets say 9000 and it only raises with each additional party member - that is how it works right now for normal leveling."

The thing is, this feature only targets the regular experience as far as I noticed in all server files which is why is more common in a reset server than in a non-reset server, it doesn't have a separate formula just for mastering experience alone as you have inside the commonserver.cfg file for example or different other config files where you got separate settings/formulas for regular experience and master experience so this is not something that can be added by us and so far I haven't seen any server files with separate settings for party mastering exp alone. However, a non-reset server benefits from the original game concept which is to form a party with others so you can level up on stronger spots, kill mobs faster and obviously obtain more exp.

@sargaras, glad you figgured it out and don't worry we all learn new things everyday
