As I recall, it was kept track of for each character. I seem to
recall being in an area, watching the exp drop, when a friend showed up
and told me he was getting full exp to start with. However I do believe
there was a limited memory, as the trick to restoring mobs to full exp
was to go out and kill a number of different mobs. The new kills would
apparently push the old mobs off the list. I think Arctic only had 10 to
20 slots in the list.
