Took me one month to hit level 30. As a warrior, who spend half of his time lfg and don't bother with solo farming.

Is it just me or anyone else have the feeling that leveling goes to fast?

Now imagine being a pet caster and going 1-40 in a week! :o

Probably... about right.

Saying that because; with the knowledge of the game you may have if it's a second time around, it will just speed things up...

Not as much getting lost, taking wrong turns, wandering into known bad places, etc, etc.

But I'm making assumptions that you played Live too..

Taking same route like 10 years ago: FP/NRO/Oasis/HH/HK and will head to Paw and SolB soon. However, xp seems to flow faster here.

My memories about level curve could be tinted though.

Maybe at the time you used to play a race with racial penalties and you don't now? Or maybe at the time you used to solo a lot, hence a lot of downtime? Maybe you have more time to play now?
Lotsa possibilities but I definitely don't feel it going faster myself.

Kind regards,

i find XP to move slower here then on live honestly. i don't remember group XP only being one tick of a blue every kill regardless of what the con is you kill. also if i remember correctly on live human's had a XP bonus as they did'nt have any racial pluses

How long did it take you to find these places and level up in them on live? Did you have a guild or a regular group of people that you leveled with often?
How often did you die and had to go without getting a rez? Did you try to do any quests on live?

These things can each factor days into your leveling experience.

How many hours a day on average?

I found pet classes enormously easy to level, but untwinked melee classes a pain in the butt. Starting from scratch on my Monk in an unfamiliar environment (Qeynos) was quite hard. The monk I played to 60 started in Freeport, so I was a bit more familiar with that...

You're a warrior with a ~10% bonus.

If you want to level more slowly you can just reroll as a Troll Shadowknight - tada 68% penalty.
