Hail Saxywoo,
for myself, it was a rather short level, since I just kept doing what I always did: Do my quests, and only kill mobs that are in some way associated with a quest. This is because I had too much spare time at my hands, so I was playing a lot and rest state became something of a bonus rather than a factor worth considering too much.
For other players I've seen, including some in my guild, it indeed has been a very long level. Why is that? My best guess is that some just lose their heads when they hit 39 an a "Have to, have to, HAVE TO get to 40 now" sets in; they start doing quests that require a lot of travel time, have people help them doing these quests and so on - waisting time travelling when they could be killing mobs, waisting experience they could well do alone by doing them in groups. Also, people with a high rest state (say, the more casual gamers) somehow seem to get the idea that they have to fight relatively high-lvl mobs now to get as much XP as possible, when they could just fight easier mobs and get a little less XP, but getting it way faster.
Well, that's just my experience, and now I have to work on my Pala a bit; he's 59, Mininer 300/ Blacksmith 300... and I often get asked how I played him to that level rather fast (can't remember what time I've now played him for)... and all I can say is that I play the game and do my quests... and that works from 39-40 as well as fpr every other level.
Well, guess that's it for now!
Take care,
Lord_Olf
