How to Twink?

[Farquis]

On EQLive they had shared bank space so you were able to twink a character. Back in the day you had to drop the item (usually backpack filled with stuff) on the floor and log onto a different character to pick it up.

Does that still work, or does the items disappear? Was trying to twink a new Wizard to aid me a bit.

Thank you. =)
