With the amount of new maps that there are right now, getting to level 80 is no big deal. The game hasn't been out for a year yet and people are already getting close to the level cap (highest level is 175 and cap is 200), so you can tell the grind isn't as bad. There are a bunch of EXP boosting items/clothes/etc that can be bought with cash or from other players.
Mage can go Sorcerer or Bard. Sorcerers are pretty difficult to handle in PvE, but they rock on PvP. Bards are excellent mobbers and do great in PvP as well. If you want to go Mage and have an easy time leveling, go Bard (it's kind of like going Cleric on MS).
