There are way more quests than you need to level, so it is better to move along and flip between level compatible zones. (Monster play is always a refreshing break for me, as well...)

Same experience that you had... levels 1-10 were great, then things started to get really slow, and by the late teens I was bored senseless. This time I picked up an already started character...one I'd abandoned at 16 or so, and I was able to push through to the Lone Lands, which held my interest for a while. Now I'm getting bored but I need to exercise my options, because unlike that 15-20-ish range, there's more than one alternative on where to adventure. So now its my own stubbornness that is boring me. This is about my 3rd go at the game, and the first time I got very far past level 20.

The reason? I simply get bored far too quickly. I think it's a combination of lack of groups that constantly puts me on a stutter, as well as, like you've said, being stuck in an area too long. I've only made a few characters in truth but every time i've tried to play i've simply loved the first 10 levels and then felt this great, weighty drag, that simply ended up in a result of me leaving the game. I remember paying for 3 months on a cheaper rate (founder thing and all) but only played for about 15 days of it. Couldn't stomach much more.
