You are doing them a disservice by not letting them experience the slow level grind in all it's glory.

/agree!!!!
Seriously, MMO's where you can get to level 50 in a week disgust me. When I first played EQ, with the +40% penalty to wood elf bards, it rocked. The time investment in my character and the anticipation of seeing new zones kept me playing and wanting more. It took me close to 6 months to get to 50, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I stayed up late in groups in dangerous places and learned the layout of the zones because I wanted to see more and do more. I suffered through the long grind and that made the next reward so much better. I never felt as though I hadn't earned something.
Please don't gimp the game like they did on EQlive. No shortcuts! If anything, make it even longer. The single greatest characteristic of EQ Classic was that it was HARD. All other MMO's are gimped, dumbed-down, ridiculous wankfests that a 5 year old can play. Old EQ was never that game.
