Why don't you do it on damage caused only.
If a creature has 10 hit points, and one person does 9 and the
other 1, then the first gets 90% of the exp, and the other 10%.
Of course, there's a problem in cases where you have clerics who
play heal-backup-etc. However, most circlemuds have it so that even if
you're a mage, you have to kill things to get exp, so it's not that big of
a problem.
If you don't - because the code you posted has been performed
before.. maybe in a different way, but with the same idea - you'll get
high level chars nearly killing a high levle mob, or following and
healing/protecting a low level char until they can step in and finish it
off and get the kill exp. Note: low level char and high level char aren't
grouped, just following. This happens ALL the time.
Make it only damage based, and no problem :)
