Zero to 80 in ... 7 hours?Follow

Is leveling too fast in EQII, or is it convenient to be able to level up an alt quickly? Zimm shows ZAM how to rapidly max a toon and we contemplate on leveling speed in the game in...

The Race to the Level Cap

I don't know what my /played time is on my main, but she's still not 80. And it's been a couple of year. I have alt-itis, though.

Lots of veteran players apparently want to do so to try another class but still play with their friends, or to fill a void in their guild's raid structure.

Me, my main is 78.82 :)

I would be interested in knowing how long it would take, on average, for a new player to solo and group (no power leveling, no mentoring, no refer-a-friending) to 80. It's taking me months, haha.

I created Enica (my main) August 2006. She's 25% away from 80. Granted, I have taken a few game breaks, but I bet even if I had played all the way through with no breaks, I probably wouldn't have hit 80 much sooner. Maybe this past summer at the earliest. I play a lot of alts, and I tend to wander off doing grayed out quests, or hunting for shinies or pages for collection. And tradeskills... so much stuff.
