It's a bit fast. Because the game is also a bit easier. *for certain classes*. I also think ppl powerplay certain classes and powerlvl their guilds for server firsts and item domination which also accelerates twinking, item, plat inflation, and top heaviness.
My entire time in live through velious I never got above 40, and I got my first planar drop in PoP after a 1 year IRL army vacation.
90% of us can literally play as much as we want/are able to play more. We pick two or three characters, and we plan ahead.
Like I rerolled 30x literally in my first year of EQ in 1999. None of that gear made it into the economy and every toon was a scrub. The coolest thing I had for 90% of my classic experience was getting a dark reaver gifted to me. Buying fine plate in kunark and being super jazzed when hybrid mana costs and manapool got de-nerfed.
Then I quit because I went to basic. It was much later before I would come back and level a cleric post-pop. My sk/wizard pretty much forgotten.
We have many people with stables of well geared 60s. Which I'm not whining about, it's just different with different pros and cons. Other ppl bitching, and needing those crutches r generally hilarious to moderately disgusting *turns nose away *
Doubt I'd turn down pixel gifts or pls tho.

Also enchanters are way too op. Nerf them harder. Plus channeling and like the number of torpor shamans is way too damn high.
