if you really want to feel the game how it was meant to be played, don't fund a single item. start with nothing. the danger of being killed by orc pawn is real when you only have 23 hp.
if you twink even slightly, you miss out on that. there are no untwinked characters out there, i see it, everyone has a twinked out SK/Shaman/Monk just smashing mobs at least for first 40 levels. Twinking removes most of the danger. Once you remove twinking, suddenly the world is very very dangerous. It's why classic (pre kunark) was better. there was really no way to twink for most people. I remember some people got full banded at lvl 1, which was huge back then, and still were in danger of dying to your average yellow con npc. Very different game if you don't twink.

BUT it's also meant to be played in groups, and on Blue good luck finding a newbie group. Not impossible but not common especially not at peak hours. You're forced to solo.
So to be untwinked
and solo is a double whammy. Can't solo effectively (well druids are an exception I guess) and can't find groups to make up for that lack of soloing gear, as was intended by developers.
I restarted here and have a ranger, untwinked but the kindness of others has given me a decent weapon and some banded armor. It's much better than running around solo with a tarnished weapon and tattered armor lol.
