Actually, I had been sketching out some ideas regarding this from games like EQ2 and Vanguard - where I believe they offer "fellowships" or something of the sort. I cannot promise anything would happen anytime soon, but I see it as totally feasible (as a custom add-on). Simply join a 6-man "band", and as the members online gain xp, a portion could go to the offline member(s).
I know how to shove the xp into player data, the part I was investigating is how to make the server comprehend there are "grouped players offline"... since that is not how it functions now.
Totally doable, imo. But like I said, not anytime soon unless someone picks up the project (like Magoth did with his Bots).
Great idea though.
