I used to play on a PvP server and I would get bogged down between 30-35 all the time. I finally made it though but it seemed like at one time I have 4 level 30 toons.

I am just really slow :(
Actually, the _big_ majority of wow players have never been lvl60/70. I can't remember the exact percentages but something like only 7% of the players are max lvl.
My 2 year-old son has a level 3 Cow-shammy. It's all from killing no, quests.
He mostly just likes to make him jump and run though. :P
He holds his finger up at me and says "We only hit monsters, not people"... :thumbup:
Ahaha... man... Asheron's Call memories. Excellent! I played on Leafcull.
As far as the social aspects of it, I used to play on the Venture Co. server as Palehoof. (I didn't realize there was a forum MVP named Palehoof until after I'd ralled him, cause Pale was my first wow character).
I created Palehoof on day 1 of the server and only reach 60 like a week after TBC came out. Hit 70 about 2 months later. The running gag was that if I finally reached max level, the server would crash. Sure enough, I dinged 70 while we were in Old Hillsbrad (and I rarely instanced) and the following came up about 2 minutes later:
<SERVER> Restart in 10 minutes.
Then about 15 seconds later....
<SERVER> Restart in 1 minute.
You have been disconnected from the server.
It was absolutely hilarious. I still have the screenshots.
Anyway, point being, I spent SO much time socializing on the forums and, invariably, in game, that I rarely leveled. Also, I went exclusively from 30 to 40-ish on BG token turn in xp. (Considering I was a hunter and needed ammo, I didn't get my 40 mount for quite some time. oops). I eventually quit wow for about 9 months.
With that having been said, I leveled a 70 lock on Ravenhold, unguilded, in about a month. And I had about 4500g when I dinged 70.
It all depends on what you're getting out of the game, I guess. I enjoyed playing both ways. I'm really enjoying the anonymity on Ravenholdt, because I couldn't go 2 minutes without a whisper on VeCo. I even had a "The official Palehoof Fanclub thread" on our server forums that reached maximum posting amount (500 replies) twice. It was all a little ridiculous.
You know... but awesome.
About two years after launch, I had a bit of a following from the nubs at work. They were so impressed that I had 2 level 60s, while they had barely been able to get to the mid 40s (after over a year of playing) If I only told them how many 70s I have now, they'd crap themselves.
This game has all types of different players....
