You are wrong and this is why I won't even attempt to play the Sleeper. I clearly remember making my first class in EQ back in April 1999 (on day one of EQ release) and playing him. He was a human mage. I remember those early levels. I know for a fact, that even completely naked, it didn't take me 9+ hours to make it halfway through level 5 (this is what another person claimed on their forums). In fact, I remember soloing 5-6 in just 2-3 hours or so, even back in 1999, which is what is like here.

This is a bad sign for me as it's a critical aspect of the game. I won't even bother with it until I hear better things of it and they fix this insanely slow experience rate.
You and I remember things pretty differently, I started in December of 99 and it took me about 4 days to reach level 10 as a mage. Then again I was doing more than just leveling, everything was so huge and there was so much too explore I think I spent one day going from Felwithe to Freeport and just exploring the cities. P99 seems pretty accurate to me but it's hard to say because 99 was a long time ago and so many games in between. Memory is a funny thing.

I will agree though that Sleeper does seem a might bit too slow, but I've heard it picks up past level 10 so I am going to stick it out.
