Hello. I bet some people have questions about classic twinking in regards to what class to play in which bracket, what stat to aim for etc. I'd be happy to try answer some and maybe others will too.

Do you reckon brackets like 39/49 will be viable pop wise?i guess the best bet would be to roll on the first highest pop pvp server for the best experience,willthe community decide to make a server home early?
now into actual twinking questions.is it worth it to twink many specs on a single char and is it possible?say i roll a druid which im iinterested in,can i bis in both balance and resto or even all 3 specs and switch specs?also what brackets should i go for solo FCing/healing?
despite wanting a druid i really want a rogue too so ive been thinking 39 would be ideal for wpvp and bgs too since rogues seem to haveabout all their tools by then and also it should be the best stvietnam experience,basically a druid for bgs and rogue for wpvp.
on top of it ive read that warriors by 49 are absolute beasts and feel pretty much the same asmaxlvl warriors and id reallywanna experience that is it true and do you think therell betherell be qs?
if a lot of wpvp existsi guess it makes high lvl twinking more viable so you need the best pop pvpserver i guess.
since i wont be able to raid cause of schedule deep lategame kinda scares me cause of the gear and i also from the get go wanted to get in vanilla to twink it what do you think? will twinking be a full time thing and left for dead like many brackets on retail died with the exp off change?also what kind of lategame consumables work at which brackets?

Respecs are not only too expensive, but also get more expensive after each one, so no you won’t be BIS in multiple specs, especially if you’re not playing max level. Druid’s are kings for flag running, rogues can be decent every few minutes for sprint/prep shenanigans. Shaman decent. But Druid is really tier 1, everyone else is like 3 or 4. I twinked my rogue at 49 and got blood guard while 49, they’re good in every bracket just because of the nature of stealth and how their scaling worked. Warriors get Kang at 49? I think. Also a good class at 49. I’d imagine twinking would be active on every bracket because you spent significantly more time at each level while leveling, and pvp is a great way to break up the monotony, and gear up thru the AB/WSG blues.

I don't know to what extent they will pop. I think it's too early to say since we--correct me if I'm wrong--don't know if there are gonna be battlegroups/xrealm BGs or not.
If you look at past vanilla private server projects it goes like this. 49s pops at the start of the server and then during X battleground weekend, so in other words unless you enjoy world pvp much 49s might be a little risky. 39s have steady AB pops throughout each server--activity is similar or even higher than 19s or 29s. This is mainly because many 30-39 players quest in Arathi Highlands which makes it really convenient for those players to queue up at the portal. WSG pops during WSG weekend.
Like the guy above me correctly said, respec cost is a big factor in vanilla. On current vanilla private servers, the respec cost is capped at 25g which is not blizzlike (50g is blizzlike). To be honest though, if you have a main that is capable to farm 40-50g/hr, a respec cost of 50g is not the end of the world. If you respec once a week or once every two weeks it should be alright.
As for what bracket you should go for solo FCing as druid, that's definitely 39s. This is because you have travel form and green whelp armor while those chasing you don't have a mount, making you super OP. Druids are (along with paladins) the best solo FCer in 19s. They're also the top FCer in 49s, 59s and 60s too. However I'd advise against solo FCing as druid in 29s, simply because you lack most of your tools and you can't really get a "good spec" at that level. You will get 1v1d by rogues in 29s.
As for healing, it's pretty rare seeing healing druids in PvP. I guess this is mainly because your HoTs are so vulnerable to dispel/purge. They can probably perform decent but FCing or hybrid playstyle will in most cases be your strongest role in pvp.
Rogues at 39 are big fun since you have most of your 60 abilities at that level meaning you play a 39 rogue the same way you play a 60 rogue. That is not true for 19 and 29 rogues. The damage doesn't scale like crazy for 39 rogues but they're to their nature one of the strongest classes in the bracket mainly because of the CC potential (and the dmg is decent too).
49 both warriors and rogues are very crazy. Evi scales great and so much good gear unlocks. I can link a youtube channel with clips from a 49 rogue (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa5DJTAkyzrMPQn333mYnPw).
Twinking has been really active on past vanilla projects and since twinks and levelers aren't divided by xp on/off brackets won't die in the same way they did post lich king retail. With that being said, players will not queue for BGs as often as they did on vanilla retail since most realize low level pvp doesn't really award anything other than rep. But I still think there will be great activity. As for consumes I'm not sure.

You cant get every bis item because of exp. You will have to select your choices.

can you give me a couple of specifics?

Twink Info Legend
Different for every bracket and class what choices you have to make. But for say 19s mages Inferno Robe is alot of exp and isn't available before level 19, same for Deadskull Shield and Runic Darkblade for Shield or 2h users. Artic Buckler for shamans, Gutterblade/Glacial Stone on Ally.

Classic is super lenient xp wise. You don't really have to stay dead or explore for any quest except probably that darkblade q chain. Bc is where it gets serious and you actually have to plan out due to quests giving like 20%more xp compared to classic and you need less xp to level up as well
I was able to complete various class 19s 29s 39s on the first try literally "blindly" not researching q requirements,etc

also best way for making a twink (especialy for low lvl bracket) is do it in one streak.. just sit, make dark gamer nest as true no lifer, buy some e.drinks, listen fine music for ya experienced soul and do all key and needed things .. cuz rested can rly screw up all your progress
