So why do you still do it…? on Kill Ten Rats (http://www.killtenrats.com/?p=739)
I don’t do PVP twinks, or lowbie item farming twinks, or twinks based around a certain level range for lower level dungeons. I twink the character I am leveling simply to say I was able to do this or that because I can. I have stopped leveling my main character for times in excess of one month simply because I was going to twink. And, yes, all I really had to do was get a couple days of leveling in and I would’ve been able to equip any item a lot easier. But that’s not nearly as fun. The point of twinking to me becomes the principle of the matter. Nothing gives me more satisfaction in AO than equipping something really early that takes a lot of work and time to accomplish. Most people ask me why the hell I bother. They inform me, a player of AO for going on three years in August, that all I had to do was level and it would’ve been so much easier! I just say “Because I can.”
