What about twinking?

[alucard001]

I really remember as good times twinking on 19, 29 and 39 (specially 19rogue or 29 warrior)

No just doing bg's. Equiping those chars was something amazing.

I've had a wet dream about twinking on private servers, however, I am yet to experience a properly scripted one with a large enough community, so you actually dont have to agree with other 9 players to queue.

I wouldn't mind if they let you disable XP, but I doubt they will. While you don't get XP from PvP, you still get it from dungeons, which means you have a limited amount of time to get equipment before being forced up. If the stuff don't drop, then you're stuck deciding between leveling a new character to try again, or just not having the items. I once made a Herod look like Warrior at 39, which had the full SM Mail set, and looked just like Herod if he took his chest off. But this twink was damn near impossible to make since it required so many runs of the SM wings to get all this stuff, especially the mail pieces, which are rare drops. I had to cheat the system by dual boxing an already leveled character to clear the dungeons without Herodjr, then just bring him inside for the boss kills. He would have been well into his 40s if he ran these himself or was within XP range for mob kills. If he were to ding 40, his entire sheet of hard earned equipment would immediately become obsolete garbage. This is a problem with the SM Mail set in general, as Warriors/Paladins that can use it pre 40 for its levels have no reason to use it the second they ding 40. It's more logical to drop it for plate. Classes that unlock mail at 40 don't see any use for it either, as by then, it's too late. New mail at 40+ is better. So this set looks good on 39 twink Warriors/Paladins, but is basically worthless otherwise. Too bad it's a pain in the ass to farm up.

Twinks will be awsome!

you're overestimating the population if you think there will be a twink community for any bracket.

I dont think you realize how many players it requires. Medium to large private servers usually (now dont mentino that when you played on X server you had 3,4,5,6 wsgs at certain points.. we know..) have 1-2 WSGS at 60 up at a time constantly throughout the day, now imagin this with low levels and twinks (remember, everyone wont be playing constantly and it requires 20 total players for just 1 pop)

Netherfrosrt , what do you wanna mean? I don't know if you are trying to convince me that there won't be twink bg's, because that is exactly what i think.

What the hell are you all about? Battlegrounds started giving experience only in patch 3.2.0, Call of the Crusade!

Now dont confuse yourself or dodge the discussion by changing terms. "[...] a twink community for any bracket" =/= "there wont be twink bg's" - Naturally, as I pointed out in my previous post aswell,- there will be lower bracket pops, but this will only be due to an extreme amount of twinks(read, compared to retail & very few actual "levellers") and their organization, the amount of "natural"/unorganized pops will be either extremely low or nonexistent, far away from how it was originally back at retail.
