I think there are two types of people who play MMORPGs; there are people who see 1-60 as a race and cannot understand why you are still only in your teens a months after joining and there are those who like to explore and find the limits of their character.
I suppose neither group will ever quite get the other. I mean, my main on Live (a ranger) was in the high 20s after three or four years. I had a guild who always said they would happily help me level faster, but while Unrest was fun, I thought Paludal caverns was boring and was just starting to get into Mistmoore (so I could do my Ivy Etched armour) when I lost interest.

Oh, let's not talk about Unrest. I spent days running around there looking at my feet because the packet loss on my 48k modem over AOL was so bad I couldn't actually look at what I was fighting without going LD. I vowed in 1999 I would never go back there, and I haven't, to this day.
Yeah, I did the whole race thing the day of release up until PoP on live. No thanks. Not this time. I started playing here in 2011 and I'm only level 29. Then again I've been on hiatus since 2012 until about a month ago, so take it for what it's worth. In reality I'm just an old salty bastard now. I look back on those days and can't imagine what I found fun about the level race. Now, I can't sit down in front of a computer without my back hurting after 3 hours.
Last weekend I ran to hell and back just getting my level 29 spells, and sat forever at the docks in TD waiting for the boat to OT. It was fun. Back on live, I would have rage punched the LCD for having to sit and wait for so long.
