Party size limit and EXP.

[DirtyDeity]

Can get any clarification on this matter, as how many people are allowed in a party?

It was my understanding always that 4 members is the ideal number, but anywhere up to 6 is agreeable.

However today with a party of 6 during an adventure we suffered a 30-35% EXP penalty.

It didn't used to be like this. Is this a bug, or intentional change? The wiki doesn't specify numbers.

4 members gives you the ideal exp. 5 members is still okay. 6 members and below has a gradual drop in exp. I'm not sure if it was always like this or not, but (reading the script) that's how it is at present!

The drop off in experience point reward seems very high from a party of 5 to a party of 6 - to the point where 5 is the "maximum" for effective ratio of time&effort to reward.

It seems a lot more drastic now than it did before, though it's possible I'm wrong.
