I have to ask y this has been done ..heheh
A lvl 50 monk was created in 2 days of play time using lvl 49th type buffing
spells. So if it's to stop twinking .. I think it would have to be done at a
much earlier stage such as your not allowed to help those not in your exp
lvl ...
It also takes some of the role play out as far as I concerned. For example
Im a lvl 60 Shaman (currently 51) traveling through Everfrost and want to
help my fellow barbarians ... well I can use my buffs from 10 lvls ago, but
cant use the magics that my skills have given to me .. due to some thought
that a lager buff might unbalance the game in some way ... heheh.
It's a good thing Merlin didnt live in EQ .. or King Arthur would still be a
stable hand .. with a big sword on the barn wall .. heheh.. 8-)
Lvl 49 spells can twink a noob .. just as well as lvl 60 spells .. as far as
unbalancing the game ... hehe.. Are you thinking .. that lvl 60 Spike
Shields form Druids (33 Damage) are so much more devastating then lvl 49
spike shields (24 Dam).
Personally I twink all the time because I enjoy powerleveling and I enjoy
playing classes after lvl 20. Prior to lvl 20 .. My Enc and my Warrior are
still both Tanking mobs alot ... not that much difference between the
classes. It's not until lvl 20 that the classes start to break apart and the
lil subtlties start to come out. This actually has lil effect on my twinking
chars to lvl 40 ... which is when the new spells would take over anyways,
but Alas the role play is effected .. 8-(
Being a lvl 60 Shaman among my people in everfrost and helping them to
tackle an Ice giant is more a roleplay issue then a twinking issue ... This
will have lil effect on twinking. Im sure some will disagree, but if you
think it will such a great effect ... hehe.. just watch in the near future
and see if twinking goes up or down .. or stays the same ... I assure you it
willl increase as servers mature and more people reach the higher (50 ish)
lvls .... it has lil to do with limiting effects .. the more you limit the
more the determined players will find a way to do what you didnt want them
to do ... what you will do is effect the players who didnt normally intend
to twink in the first place ..hehe. 8-)
Oh well .. just my 2 coppers .. 8-)
I'll see ya on later tonight, gotta go out with the wifey for a bit after work...
grrrr =) LOL!!!

You have a Lager buff? My Ogre Shaman's never seen one. Where'd you pick
it up? Is it Barbarian only? Is there also a Bock buff? If there is,
what's the difference between the two?
(God, I love typos sometimes.)
