you know as well as I that twinking was uncommon and powerleveling was rare back in the day.

Lol. Really? REALLY? You're gonna just come out and claim this? It's more common on P99, but I think this is a dramatically wrong statement.
Everyone and their mom had a monk or other melee twink in 2000. Everyone. Everyone.
EVERYONE. Half of my guild had twink monks (even a number of fungi level twinks), and my guild was pretty casual.
The reality is that most of the playerbase on p99 are the top 30% of engaged players back in the day. This means we know the tricks and the shortcuts a lot better than the more casual players did, and hindsight makes us incredibly more knowledgable now than we were back then, so it compounds itself.
But let's not come with nonsense about powerleveling and twinking being uncommon. Lol.
I actually two-boxed occasionally between two desktop PCs in the Velious era (different rooms and I wasn't allowed to move the PCs, which made it really difficult, but possible) - had a shaman buffing my monk while I destroyed crap in Velk's.
And again, on live, I never did any of the major velious raids (we did Kael but never Vindi), Plane of Sky, CT, Innothule...Any of that. I wasn't among the elite playerbase. But even I saw the twinking and two-boxing (although technology made that harder) and powerleveling all the time.
