Actually, I think that for the right kind of player, this is exactly what they should play. Melees in classic EQ are mostly looking for that next gear upgrade to progress, while casters just wait for the next spell level. It depends on the player and what they're going to enjoy.

If you're planning to twink them a little, I'd suggest getting them items along the lines of classic twink gear. E.g., give the paladin something with about a .3 ratio instead of the usual Sword of Skyfire or Green Jade Broadsword. Upgrading that himself at level 25 will be more rewarding than using the same sword from level 1 to 40 (or whatever).

Aside from that, try not to spend too much time in one spot unless they are really enjoying it. Get out and see all those underpopulated low-level dungeons (Sol A, Upper Guk, Najena, Paw, Nurga, Dalnir, etc. etc.), but don't skip out on Crushbone. Trainer hill and the throne room are just too much fun. Some ideas for out-of-the-ordinary leveling locations can be found here: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=86713
