How long did you take to get to 60?

Ok, I understand that everyone's first time through the game takes longer than their second or third, but really, how long did you all take?
I'm not speed leveller or anything (as you'll see in a second), and I have a full time job, go out on weekends and even weeknights, and it took about a month the first time through (in a duo or trio most of the way). I might also mention I wasn't grinding (just quests), wasn't always playing -- sometimes in BGs or just sitting around talking with friends, or screwing around doing nothing in particular.
My second 60 took about 3 weeks, doing the same. I've heard of people getting to 60 in what is it, 4 days? Maybe the record is better now. Of course playing literally non-stop and farming/grinding out stuff a lot.
But the real question I have is, how do some people take so long to reach 60? I have a couple friends who've played for MONTHS and aren't even close to level 60.. hell, some haven't even made it to 40. What are they doing?! Is there anyone here who can shed some light on what they might be doing? :P And they're actually out playing the game, too, like in instances, or in various areas, and they're on the damn game all the time, too. Really people, WoW is so ridiculously easy to level up to 60 in, how can these people take so long. It's just saddening, especially if you want to group with them, but when they say DM they mean Deadmines and not Diremaul.
Sorry, just a rant/question. So really, how long did you take? And what are my friends' problems? ADD? :P
And don't tell me it's class related, I levelled a paladin and a priest up to 60 before, and they didn't take much longer than my hunter.

Sucked that the 0-60 thing went by so fast... that was where the fun was in that game lol.

Seriously. 1-60 was fast and fun (the first or second time through). After that it got rather stale.
What is up with my friends though, really? How can someone fail at gaming so much?
In my deffense, however, I have made way too many alts. My actual main I've only made a few weeks ago and I have had a ton of alts within the time period I've had the game.
I should be 60 now.. but whatever ;p. Just aiming for a level a day now so I can be close to 60 for BC.
Alts can do that to you, but really, you're not as bad as some of my friends who have no alts, and STILL can't get to 40 :P
I'm surprised you haven't hit 60 by now though, coming from L2 where the grind is much, much longer. Unless of course you used a bot (not accusing, just mentioning that I've known a person or two who got to 6x in L2 by botting).
I know after going to WoW from Ragnarok Online, it was like, wow, this is so ridiculously easy.
I guess it took me so long because me and my mate decided to play together 90% of the time, was much more fun that way and would attempt the ORANGE/RED quests which were always a challege. We also never rushed to level either we just went with the flow. And do plenty of ganking too.
14 for my warrior (I hate lvl'ing warriors)
somthing like 10 for my Shaman
7 for my hunter
Now I hate the game, go figure
Retired from WoW
Rebellion - 60 Warlock || Kalaa - 60 Warrior
Littlerebel - 60 Hunter || Albie - 60 Shaman
Played: Erm, a lot more.
MMm, you know it's really not all about how fast you can level. If you do that, then you will miss half of the game,(more than half actually)
Four months for me to hit level 45, this is my first char. I'm not always leveling. I love attending different events, dark moon fair, scavenger hunts for my guild etc... I also spend time with my secondary proffesions.
I'm in no rush. BC will still be there when I get ready for it. I am a balanced druid and we level slow anyways. I am looking forward to flying in outland, without a mount
This is simply the worst thing about WoW ... any jerk can make 60, attend raids, and be uber in less than a month. Its almost like there is no reason to play the game because it is so easy ... except for all the cool easter eggs and storylines you find along the way.
But those run out quickly as well.
On the plus side, the game play is very dynamic and easy, the artistry (graphics, models, skins, animation) is amazing, and blizzard finally made the tank class interesting. For all of these I thank them but cant pay $19 for more of the same.
See also guild wars.
You, and the hardcore raider are the people who can get the most out of WoW. You can somehow spend months and months to only get to 45. Really, 1-60 was a great time, but afterwards it gets very old, fast, so enjoy it :P
That's quite an assumption you made there about missing half of the game. I did every quest, every instance (yes i actually read every quest, too, I'm a big lore/history fanatic in games i play), went to all the events, did my second professions to 300, explored every map completely, even *gasp* (and i'll probably be ridiculed for it) roleplayed quite a damn bit. But I was still 60 in a month or less on my first character.
I didn't rush, I just played the game at the flow it put forward for me, and there i was.
So in conclusion, I still don't understand how it takes so long to level up (for some people). I don't think I ever will, either. Oh well, have fun!
It took me 3 weeks and 2 day for my first night elf rogue dual type sword ^^
My hunter night elf it took me 2 weeks
and my last char that made the game bored a little is my warrior that is a human
About a month.
I hope the next 10 levels will be much faster.
Level grinding or grinding of any sort is not the highlight of my game.
The sooner I am equiped togo to any area of the game and do any adventure the happier I will be. I enjoy WoW's endgame far more than the leveling.

i played from launch till about may or june of last year, stopping a couple times to play other games but when i was subscribed it would be for at least 2 months. I've never gotten a character to 60, and I'm quite the veteran player. I've played just about every mmo. On my last stint in WoW I had a warrior in the 50's because I rerolled on a server with a some friends who were all starting new characters. So I really don't know what it is because I would play at least 3 hours a day on the week days and probably 8 on the weekends so thats 31 hours a week and I couldn't get to 60. I used to make a lot of alts though so that could be why.
My first 2 characters took about 16 days /played each. 5 months actual time to level both to 60. Priest first than Warrior. I leveled them almost entire on double xp from 30+ alternating between them keeping them within 5 levels of each most of the way. Both had enough gold to buy epic mounts the day they hit 60. The auction house work probably took up 4-5 days /played alone on each.
I've got a 53 paladin now with 10 days /played that will hit 60 pretty fast.
The levels between 42 and 49 are the toughest, once thru those it's easier past 50.

I don't think this is the kind of opinion *cough shameless advertising cough* the OP wanted to see.
