Well, that has changed a bit recently. The xp requirements for levels 20-60 have been lowered, and the xp rewards for
quests in that range have been raised, to the point where you can gain a level on about ten completed quests or
thereabouts.
Meaning that you can get to level 58 and the modern "good stuff" in Outland in only a couple of weeks of semi-dedicated play, and doing only a
fraction of the quests that it would have taken beforehand (and ignoring the old poorly designed instances completely if you wish), so multiple characters
can take completely different routes now...
They'll be applying the same scaling changes to 60-70 once Wrath of the Lich King comes out, too.
