Hi and welcome to the game.

i dont know if you started before 1.7 came out as leveling is now longer than it used to be.
but try to keep at it theres alot to do and see yet so hang in there. the groups that you join will effect the pace of your leveling but if you use the water elixer it boosts xp X3 for 5 minutes that will speed things up a bit. theres also lower priced elixers too that are cheaper like power levelers and hardcore players but they are lower xp gain. just keep going through your quests youll soon level up. if you need to know more look me up my igns are in my sig im glad to help.
