500p is a lot for a lvel 19, but i suppose it is possible:
To answer your questions:
1) if you were not talking about the DOT patch then the last email was not
directed at you at all.
2) Damn, sorry that you lost your stuff zoning - I know i would be
mighty pissed if that happened to me.
3)I agree with you level caps are dumb. I do not believe variant is
considering these. Incidentally someone on this list recently commented
that the reason for the POF level cap wa that Variant was fed up with
twinking - well this is just simply not so. The PoF or rather - corpse
recovery from the PoF was taking up FAR too much of the GM and Guide time.
As a result, to cut down on the number of "Can you help me get my corpse
out of mr. Caszic thules toe nail" requests, they cut donw on the number
of peopl going to teh POF who didn't belong there.
4)Buying stuff with justly earned money is NOT twinking. Anything that you
can buy with money is not terribly good or rare (from a levle 35 point of
view of course). So you have two platinum Black pearls rings? So what you
are walking around in full mesh - maybe afew lupine armor. These are all
things that you can buy/ earn fairly easily at your level.
Haveing a Flowing balck sash, mask of the Deciver and Dwarven work boots
IS twinking however! These are very hard to get and are usually trade
only items. You CAN NEVER
earn enough money in teh game to buy a Flowing balck sash. NO one who is
able to get one would be willing to sell one for cash - UNLESS THEY WERER
TRYING TO "TWINK" you. Very high levle items are TRADE only. The reason
for this is obvious: Cash is really and trully worthless. What give
platinum its value is the stuff you can buy with it in town/other
players. For high levle items that are rare like Ghoulbane for example,
or box of abu kar or the flowing black sash, no amount of csh can
adequately compensate you for the tiem you spent CAMPING for these items.
So no you are not a twink and have ing alot of cash doesn t make you a
twink.
