Following player reports, Blizzard identified a bug that affected how XP was calculated for parties of 6 or more players. This bug was present on all realms and following this new patch, XP should now be should be significantly lower for parties of 6 or more players.
According to Blizzard, this new hotfix is not a balance change or tuning adjustment for World of Warcraft Classic. In original World of Warcraft, groups of 6 or more players had to deal with an XP penalty but a contemporary bug scambled this penalty.
Blizzard’s vanilla server option for World of Warcraft, WoW Classic, is available now globally. Blizzard launched the game last week.
