New 60

[Kevin]

Congratulations!

Now my biggest question.  How did you get there so fast?  I've got characters I've played for gametime amounting to around ~30% of what you have, and I've never gotten past level 18.  Everyone talks about how easy it is to make level 60 in this game, but at the rate I'm going, I'll make it there in almost 6 months from now.

Note the 2nd paragraph is very rambly and not really important.

Gnolack's /played after hitting 60 was: 19 days 3 hours 47 minutes (possibly minus a minute or 2 since it happened mid battle). Taranna will have much less /played it appears when she hits 60 and Balador will be even less than that I think as well. Marn I think will be about the same, probably within 40 hours at least. So it took me 459 hours of play time on one character to get him there. It has been spread out since late November or early december when I created him. It isn't hard, it just takes time. Though I can see where time is the hard part of doing it.

I wasn't really trying to be efficient with Gnolack either. I didn't grind on mobs. I did spend a good 8 hours just grinding to get ore if not more. I just quested and ran instances a few times. He was in SM 3 times where he was getting exp for killing things, Uldaman 3 times, Zul'Farrak twice now I think, Maraudon once, Sunken Temple about 4 times but never a full clear. I don't think he went into any other instance more than once. He did do Razorfen Kraul though and Black Fathom Deeps which are 2 that a lot of people never do. I did one Baron run in a raid and got summoned to Light's Hope to do it otherwise I never would have set foot in either of the plaguelands. I never quested in Ashenvale or Desolace, unless it related to an instance. Did one or two quests in Azhara. Quest some in the Hinterlands. Never quested in Hillsbrad, at least not until the quests were grey. Did most of Arathi. Never quested in Duskwood or Westfall (except to get instance chains) or Darkshore. Only did instance and chain related quests in Ferelas. Didn't quest in Dustwallow Marsh. I did do a fair bit in Swamp of Sorrows though. Of course some of those zones that I didn't go to are zones that Taranna or Balador did hit or will hit. I know Balador will go to the Plaguelands as soon as he can.

So yeah, again if you just put the time in and do that quests 60 isn't too bad to get to. :)
