57 in under a week? How many people playing that account?

Yup. People automatically assume account sharing but I don’t think they realize how fast you can level in terms of total days if you simply care more about the game than being healthy.

On Tunare server, live back in the day, the first char to 60 was a Ranger who killed BBM dwarfs about 16 hours a day while supported by a rotating crew of out-of group guildmates. (The term "powerlevel" was not in use back in the days of stone knives and bearskins, I guess we weren't cool enough.) It took him 2 weeks. I do not recall if he was first across all servers, or only on Tunare.

I cannot see how that differed in any meaningful way from Mannastone's scheme (i.e. develop a plan in advance to hit 60 as fast as possible using commonly available knowledge and current ruleset pushed to an extreme.) He could've saved a couple days had he been a Rogue instead of a Ranger, but I always thought it was cool that the server first L60 was a hybrid even if he did cheese it with ungrouped support.
