Subject: Re: Blackened Iron Armor *SPOILER* (sort of)


Why would this aggravate you? In my experience, the majority of twinks are
people starting over with new characters because they were unhappy with
their original class. Why put yourself through the frustration of the early
levels all over again, when you have ALREADY worked your ass off attaining a
good fortune, along with decent items. There certainly isn't any
role-playing reason that would stop this (e.g. my older "Brother" retired
from adventuring and passed along some gear and money to help with my
training)

I'm not trying to say you should twink, obviously play the game the way you
want, just saying you shouldn't let twinks aggravate you, as the majority of
them DID work hard to get their gear, and just dont want to TOTALLY WASTE
all the time already put into a game this massive.
