It's a lot easier after your first one, especially if you
decide to twink. You can twink, you know what to fight, you
have powerful friends, and if you have two computers and two
accounts you have another high level character that's 100%
dedicated to helping your new character. A friend of mine
with two accounts has a L49 druid, and managed to powergame a
necro from level 1 to 40 in I'd guess about a week of played
time.

You only have about 32 days played out of the ~300 days the
game has been running. So you're only playing about 2-3 hours
a day, which means you probably have a life. :) Most of the
addicts are 4+ hour a day players. The college students,
work-at-home types, and sleep-deprived typically have 8+ hours
a day.
