Wanna go back to an easier time? Back when 19 wasn't all about sitting in BG's? Maybe a time before STV was infested with 80s? I say reject modernity, embrace the roots, the place where every character starts and where some of them also end up.
This is officially me trying to sell you on making a level 1 twink on Icecrown.
Why would you ever want to make a level 1 twink, you ask me?
Well, I think it's incredibly fun. The lower you go in terms of levels, the better each statpoint scales. This means that every upgrade counts, BiS armor can be the difference between one and two armor. Compared to for example, a level 19, it's also WAY less time consuming and cost intensive. If you want to get into twinking and get a decent character quick, level 1 is the way to go.
"But Gravy, I have three bis 19's with double AGM, one 60 and one 70, why would I ever want to start a new character?"
Because it's fun. 60 has limitations, 70 has limitations and god knows 19 has limitations. 1 has even more limitations, but with those limitations comes endless freedom. What can a level 1 actually kill? I've seen level 1's kill mobs in Burning Steppes. What can a level 1 actually duel? My highest duel is in the 20's. What enchants are actually bis for your class? Does hit matter on a character that will only hit once in a blue moon regardless? Level 1 has a lot of fun theorycrafting, is what I'm trying to say.
Mostly I make this post because level 1's have always been lonely. A few brave souls out there have tried to make it relatively active and all have failed. MY hope is that someone reads this and goes "You know what, that sounds weird enough to me." and comes hang out with us in Crossroads and in Goldshire.
We're a few people playing, most of them gearing and I don't know of any other active level 1 bis or close to bis twinks apart from myself.
If you're out there, playing alone or want to get into level 1's, please hit me up. Have a question about gear, enchants or anything else, please hit me up.
Sincerely yours, Gravy.
