Do the experience shrines XP bonus go to players nearby?

Solution 1:

The Shrine has only affect on the person who owns it. Experience in a party is still a complicated thing. Even if there are other on the server playing and not in your party, monsters grant bonus EXP but they also get stronger. You gain EXP from party, if you are close by the killed monsters. (ages ago you only had to be in the same area) The guys who does the killing blow gets more exp than the guy who "watches".
