Subject: twinking 
Hello all , 
Well here's my general view on twinking as its's called. ( never knew it had 
a name till a few days ago ) I plan to do it if i create another char , which 
i know i will. but that being said , i won't give myself ruby at lvl 1 . I'll 
do it at the level my new char could do it himself. See I hate hunting for 
ruby now , and as far as i'm concerned i never want to do it again. Even in 
my next life.  Sitting in that throne room or wherever , not getting much 
ruby . and all that bad stuff , i hate it.... but i want ruby so i endure . 
But never again.  ( race war server excluded ) I personally see nothing wrong 
with this , my char will get the ruby i have , only when he can get it 
himself. I just would like to see people's views on this, but i really see 
nothing wrong with it. 
Oh yeah , and as a random mini-rant . I read an interview with brad where he 
talks about his views on exploration and how it makes the game better. 
getting away from crowded spots etc etc. My view is , how the heck do you 
know where to go and what you can kill ? I go somewhere with a full group and 
i see something that cons red to me , how do i know if its 2 -3 lvls above me 
or 20 ? Some people might say attack it and find out , and if it goes bad 
run. but as fun as looking at new places is and finding great huntings spots. 
the risks of dying and losing a lot exp really stinks. And so maybe  as a  
bard i can get out with my life , chances are i will lose at least one party 
member, well gee i don't like to do that to people. He talks about how much 
he likes permafrost , well the guy helped make the game , of course he knows 
where to go and what his group can take and what would destroy him. I don't , 
i explore , but i very rarely hunt in unfamiliar very uncrowded places. ( 
rathe mtns scare the crap out of me ) 
Ok thats that just wanted to say it
