I believe this is the difference between being grouped the large majority
of time and soloing. Soloing being much slower. I have played around 9 or
10 days real time on my main character and am now level 16. I could have
been much higher by now had I grouped a lot more than what I have. I have
wasted time just puttering along myself. But my main focus isn't on
leveling...although when I get close I sure like to be bumped to get new
spells. :)
