How noticeable was the XP change? Thinking of playing again.Follow

I have played EQ2 multiple times, each time stopping at level 20-25, not just because of the grind but because I didn't like most the classes I chose. I was thinking of trying the game again and I heard they sped up xp. How noticeable is the change? I heard some people say its too easy, but whats too easy to one person might not be that easy to someone else.
I am a casual MMO player, I have about 20 hours a week to play an MMO at the MOST.

A couple friends of mine are wanting to play also, and they're both wondering how much the exp has changed.

I say 20 hours a week is casual. Because I said at MOST. On weekends I get to play a lot. During the week I don't.
10-12 of those hours probably come from the weekend.

Can anyone tell me the hours per level? (Not every level, but a level range)

For me it would be about .005 levels per hour. I've played for 3 years and my highest level character is level 60.

Don't try to dissect it and just play. ;)

1-60 in under 6 days /played, so if you get in 12 hours a week then you are looking at 3 months to lvl 60 without breaking sweat depending on class and tradeskill obsession.

I did Darklight woods > Nek forrest > EL and Zek > Everfrost > Sinking sands > Tenebous. with brief touches into Commonlands/TS/Crushbone/Lesser fay.

Thats using about 50% of the possible content at most so i would imagine you could run two toons at the same time, never do a single quest that the other toon did and still reach 60 in 3 months with both.

I did buy alot of the collection pieces I missed from the zones I was doing and a couple of the cheep higher level ones.
