Is it seriously worth the time and effort?

dont make things up, there are never 3 hour waits unless its like 3 am- noon when no one is playing. what a shock people like to play with the op classes in 2v2. i'm pretty sure you can still see the battlegrounds that are active if you go talk to the battlemaster. people complaining about elitists and trolls are just looking for an excuse. a peak time PUG queue will last a maximum of 25 minutes until the current game is done(if theres only 1 game currently, often theres 2 or 3)

I refused to move my twinks over to Ruin or anywhere else, but from the standpoint of the Realms I played on, twinking is a thing of the past. I was in your same shoes "totally bored" a couple of months ago and because I couldn't escape to the twinking world that once existed, it was time for a well deserved break from the game.
I would have loved to play in pre-made or pug groups in the no-xp BGs, but they were almost non-existent for 19's and completely dead in all other categories. The only games that seemed to be going on in Cyclone were the xp games with a mixture of non-twinks with some sprinkling of twinks that probably just wanted to play. I really don't know what happened to all of the twinks, because I remember playing 19's on cyclone and almost everyone on both sides were twinked or semi-twinked.

This is not a true statement. Not "all" twinks moved to Ruin. Many (probably more than those that moved) either quit or just found other things in game to do.

Apparently, a lot went to Warhammer online and made endless trial accounts. That game plays a lot like wow, and you stop xp at level 10 if you are on the free trial account, so you can twink to your heart's content. That's where I've gone lately.

Warhammer online is terrible. That's my opinion.
I've tried out all these supposed "wow" killer mmo's and they've been all complete wastes of money. I think I'll continue wasting my money on a decent game rather than join a new one that tries to copy WoW and then make it better. The fact is, they all fail on the "better" part.

The Talent system for WoW is damned solid and MMO's of the future should work with a system based on it somehow. Blizzard's implementation of varied resource systems is also solid. That being said, they really limit themselves on implementing more creative encounter designs, character mechanics, etc... Not to mention they have trouble implementing enjoyable vehicular combat mechanics. In these, other games can make huge strides over WoW with, but they try too hard to go step for step with WoW design which inevitably places the same limitations on them as are found in WoW.

Twinking at 10 Newb Questions - Realm vs. Realm - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Forums here is a link to a thread with some info about servers and guilds, and additional links to guides and such.
Basically, go ally on Gorfang and make a dwarf tank. Go straight into the scenarios and level up there. When you get to rank 8, go to the warcamp down the road and get your reknown gear. You can get the reknown chest armor too at rank 9. Put talisman's in the slots (basically gems from WoW) and go pwn.
If you like it at that point, you can twink it out. You'll need helmet, cloak, and shoulders, and there is better gear out there to farm. You can save your gold and buy some stuff, including talismans.
There are no terrain exploits. AFKs can be a problem.
I hear chosen on destro side is op, and so is archmage on order side, but maybe that is at endgame. I heard dwarf tank makes a good 10 twink and i have to agree.
It's freeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

This is one of the best, most thought out, posts of the year here on TI. I agree with a lot of it. I also agree that I am one of "old hecklers" I guess too.
I am remaking my 39 warlock right now, but I also planned to give 19s pugs a whirl for the 1st time in over a month this week. It's midweek and I haven't got around to it yet though.
I transfered my main to another server to deliver BoA to my new 39 lock and got drafted into a guild. Now I am at 5950 GS and I can't stop playing him now... I want to hit 6k just for the giggles badly. (this proves your point about 80s and casuals... I am a casual 80 and I geared very nicely very FAST.)

HI all,
I have never posted here before I just recently found this site. I have been playing wow for years now and have a Lock Rogue and Paladin at 80 and I must say I got bored, My brother and I Play wow together and wanted to make twinks (We never did it before) We read around and went with the Hunter guides out there. So we got to 19 and got all the gear and spent all the time / gold getting ready and bam we find out that we cant Just turn off Xp and play normal bgs anymore we con only play against other Twinks. DAM
We had missed this problem. (I know Stupid) (First time)
Anyway i found this tread and read every word you guys wrote and was wondering like the topic says is it worth it?
Where is the best place to Twink, I will admit it Im looking to be Over Powered Over Geared.(I know no real competition its my First Time) I have played bg's on my lock/rogue/pala at top level till my eyes bleed (70's then 80s) but i would always come across a group from arenas they were like Twinks(Over Powered Over Geared) and I say 'I would like to be that guy for a change' so here I am.
I met a guy who bought a wow account with no expansions in a random dungeon one day and he say he was a Twink, He explained that at 60 he could do av but would get no xp since he did not have the expansion, is that the way to go?
Anyway Thanks for reading

I noticed on my squig herder at rank 8 there was this one order twink that could stealth and basically could ambush one shot me from stealth. I tried to figure out what class he was and looked at shadow warrior, but it just says they can do both ranged and melee attacks pretty well. Are they the ones that get stealth? That guy was the most OP twink I've encountered so far.

Kairi said:Well, I'll start off with introducing myself, I'm Joel, I go by the in-game names of Volna, Vigor, Kairi, Vigilant and Violette. I twinked in Bloodlust for a very long time, and I quit as WotLK came through, and to my understanding, that was the better time to quit.
I recently downed Lich King in 25-man on my main, and I'm now bored with end content and I'm searching for a come back at any price into twinking.
What the hell is happening these days? What are premade doing? Are all the twinks still as simple minded and as mediocre as PuG's in BC? What do you guys honestly think is happening to twinking, and is it worth coming back?
Please, please, please do not answer with all the crap I've heard before, I know all you forum trolls are happy to scream 'twinkings dead, don't come back' or anything along the lines of it at me - I've heard it all, and now I want your honest opinions.
I gave you 500g, you better atleast attempt the bracket :3

Not gonna complain a ton here since so many have expressed their displeasure with me saying anything negative about 19s, but figure I would report what I found last night. I played a 19 twink for the 1st time in over 1.5 months. I played 6 games on alliance side.
1st game - got in down 0-2 with 2 minutes left. Unlike Pizza, I took the loss.
2nd game - got in down 0-2 with 5 minutes left. Another loss.
3rd game - down 0-2 with 18 minutes left. Another loss, but the game finished 1-2.
4-5 games - easy easy easy, stupid easy... boring easy wins for alliance.
6th game - 1-2 loss, best game of the night as far as balance between the 2 teams.
Going back to spamming /2 for a ToGC 25 on my main's server after that 6th game provided me more entertainment than all but the 6th game. Oh, and I never got a ToGC 25... dammit I want my solace.
I am going to pop in from time to time, but if the games suck as much as last night, my love for 19 twinking won't keep me going. I had a member of this site ask me in a game why I was back to 19 and my reply was something like this... "It's hard to throw away what you've loved for 4+ years...". That's the only explanation I can give for my back and forthing... (yes, forthing is not a word, but you get the picture...)
