Yes because what I meant was she should race to 60 /s

When I started on EQ live, getting to level 5 on my first class (magician) and getting my super powerful next rank of pets was fun and breathed new life into the experience.

Obviously I wouldn't expect OP's wife to be a power gamer, but MMO's (especially everquest) are frustrating, and seeing even marginal character growth helps offset that frustration.

So yes, getting the xp bar moving by picking a class that levels easily in the early game - like a mage or necro - is a good way of getting people to have fun grinding because the rewards will come quickly in the beginning. It helps to blunt the otherwise harsh learning curve.
