Did they scale back the xp at some point on blue or something? All these time periods look way too long to me. I took Minyin(druid) 1-50 in 5 days, and eventually when Kunark came out I went 51-60 in 4 days (59-60 in 13 hours charming bears.) all solo. Same story/timeframe with my shaman, except I couldn't charm, so it was a lot more boring. None of these are /played times, I installed Titanium, and 5 days later I was 50 on a druid, no idea about actual time played.

Well, it varies depending on whether you solo or group, your play time, and experience penalties... But the other people's estimates seem right to me. As a hybrid who plays casually in groups it took me:

1-30: 2-3 months
30-53: 3-4 months
53-60: ??

No, you just played alot and played a class that could effectively solo.

50-60 takes a long time.

@ 54, 95% of eq is open to you already so no real rush to 60.

It's a journey to 60 because all you do at 60 is raid or group for item upgrades you didn't get going 50-60 or Roll alts because the best part of eq is the grouping and xping.

My first char on live(druid.) Took me just short of under 1 year to get 60, mostly 3-4 hour sessions with a few days off here and there.

On p99 it took a lot less.

Reason being,i was a totally noob and spent a lot time traveling zones and not really doing the high xp lowbie quests(still sure these are borked and were nowhere near as good on live.)
Here i know what I'm doing and know how to shorten the journey,plus grouping is so much smoother with the amount of twinks floating about.
