If you don't care about high end gear and you are patient enough to deal with psychopaths who won't ever move from their keyboard u can easily get lvl 60 with some decent gear including stuff like bloodforge or deepwater or donals and things like that.
You will spend more time and have to "buy" "with plat" to aquire basic items like jboots and evil eye bags because ppl are insane and you can't camp that stuff yourself unless you are also insane.
Of course most classes are perfectly fine without any such items and no gear. Necro, mage, shaman, druid, ranger, etc. Which will allow u to get money to buy those things for an alt with about a years worth of work. Not sitting at the keyboard every day for 3 months straight.

Normally I would just say make friends because (that is the point of the game) and they will shower you in pixels. Butt that isn't an option because no one will be your friend unless you are a psychopath willing to camp fungi tunics for 3 weeks straight without moving from the keyboard with them. And they also don't need you.

ALL this said if you have a truly casual mentality none of this matters and u will have tons of fun randomly sniping gnolls for teeth and rerolling alts around lvl 20-30 and doing tradeskills for stuff like banded. And u can get buy really well with a 500p weapon from EC on any class. And people stilll give those away

And you can offer free counselling and spiritual guidance to any wayward travelers u meet which is far more fun than grinding.
Just go in with zero expectations.
Also red 99 is very anticompetative u can get 60 easy, often times no one is camping fungi lords and ppl will actually just randomly help u if you do not mind having to play an alt every once in a _blue_moon_ (very rarely) and deal with absolute lunatics who also never log off and have alts in every zone (during said blue moons).
