I haven't seen anything yet. There used to be a couple of sheets a long time ago on the petopia site, but I haven't seen anything in about a year. Am I missing something?

I love the fact that twinks are now going to potentially be delegated to fighting only twinks, and non-twinks fighting non-twinks. :) But it is going to make me miss some of the *real* art of twinking: the number-crunching of 'how to get the best gear for this level without dinging'. Ah well. I guess all art has to change or die eventually. :( I’m not a twinker, but I’ve always considered twinking to be an art form.

In 3.2 you can freeze your experience gains, since BGs will give experience. From that point on, people gaining experience will only fight people who are gaining experience, and people who have frozen their gains will only face people who have frozen their gains. What that means is that people who have twinked and want to STAY in the twink bracket of choice will be forced to freeze their experience, so they will only fight other people who are twinks. Non-twinks will only ((Generally speaking)) only fight non-twinks. Actually Snowtiger, you won’t have to worry about it past 3.2.

find your infoand your new pets heads up very help full for my level 80 hunter and hunter alts of different levels As for the low level WSG pvp like i have said before I liked it before the twinkage where it was skill against skill and all realitivly in the same hp area but have notice that they have nerfed alot of the twinkage lately
It was ridiculous seeing a 19 twink pally with the hp of a 29 to 36 toon when I use to twink my 19 was just enough to keep the hp with the others but never not to put major enchants on the weapons they should make it for a twinkless level and let the twinkage start in the 30′s bracket and make a more fair playing field

And back when I was first leveling my warlock, I stopped at sixty for a bit with the Outlands gear you could get, which was then amazing for the level. Nothing could touch me, or my felguard. It was fun for a while, but I like some kind of challenge in my PvP, and just DoTing and laughing wasn't cutting it. Don’t worry Ryai, you can turn it off or on at the cost of ten gold.

O.o I thought it was where you could switch it on or off? Cause knowing my luck I would probably talk to the wrong person Dx I once tried talking to the pet trainer wondering why he wouldn't train me- then realized it wasn't the hunter trainer I was talking to. @: Palla O god when it gets like that I just die and stay a ghost in the graveyard. WSG attempt be damned, I'm not going to be some HK for face rollers. Tho admitedly when I had Zeldei leveled up pre wrath, I face rolled and destroyed everything. Dots dots more dots epic dots dots on everything! /hate demo/have to level demo/hate wait the EXP freezing is permanent? O.o I thought it was where you could switch it on or off?

This particular project is something that Bliz should support, with a free account and a whole bunch of "free" recruit-a-friend levelups. Its tailor made for Dev assistance. I'm pretty sure I have an alt on Aisna's server. Let me know if you need any help Mania!
