Actually know quite a few ppl that leveled solo 1-45 in 2 hours. Just had to have the right equipment. A guildie did 22 characters for this event..so he made a decent amount of pal.

2 hours is not right at all, once you were level 20 you could enter sh and then drop your 300% xp potion, it then took 1 and a half hours to get from level 20-45 in nightmare mode shadow pass (with jinns fully aug splash at level 23) it was quicker to do this solo than with a group (1 strike and out).

So noway you could get from level 1-20 and to sh in half an hour.

I did a few runs where we got ran to temple in a group but it wasnt that much quicker.

did 6 toons for event.. best time was 1:59:12 .. just had guildie give me ports.. did not do quests.. popped 300% at level 1 went to south edo.. leveled there till 20, went to stonehenge level till 45.. but i already had guns set for it. Solo was faster.. we tried a full 5 man group .. best we got was 2:38ish. Having the right splash guns made a difference (ie splash guns with napalm 1 at usuable at level 1)

I know a few ppl got a little faster.. its really a moot point since this event is over. But wanted to point out that it was possible.
