That's 102900 XP. At 600 XP per year that's 171.5 years. With a 2% chance of death each month (Assuming youth potions, I guess?) that's one in 10^19 of wizards which are only 1 in 500 of the population.
This is actually very interesting... the numbers you quote come from the new RAW so this is yet another example of unintended consequences from the much slowed XP progression found in the new ITL. My proposed schedule, on the other hand, is much more reasonable.
;)

Where does the 600 XP per year come from, though?
