Farming plats or camping numerous spawns with high level characters to gear up a low level alt; that's a twink.

Yeah, exactly. This happened all the time. I cede that it was less often from 2000-2001 than it is on p99. But it wasn't uncommon in the least.

The common player did not really twink (hence, "uncommon")

The common player in 2000/2001 is not the common player on p99. That's also something I mentioned.

It started to occur near the end of classic; and picked up during Kunark. By Velious, heavy twinking was in full force.

Sure, granted - and this is because Kunark and Velious were barely a year apart - new content exploded, relatively, compared to what has happened on p99. That's a valid point - we hit the relative content ceiling pretty quickly and forcefully on p99.


But it still doesn't justify a server wipe or splitting an already small population between two servers. Period.
