What's live like?

I suppose it's ok now if you just want something very laid back to do. Mercs and guild lobby give you instant access to 96% rezzes and cheap corpse summons, so there's nowhere near the risk of P99.

Want to add 70+ magic items are MUCH better than the defiant counterparts. The defiant are dirt cheap in bazaar and relatively plentiful, but inferior by comparison, especially ~90.

So just want to say the game can have that "twink" flavor IF you have a very high level main like 85+ with all the aa's. Then you can get the 70+ items and twink your alt. The higher your alt is, the higher (or richer) your main will need to be to twink them.

OF COURSE, since boxing is so "easy", it's probably faster to powerlevel alts than to twink them. This is unfortunate in some ways, since I actually agree with you: twinking is fun! BUT one caveat: It requires more exertion to box or powerlevel. Soloing, by comparison, is more natural and fun. SO it's not a done deal that powerleveling your alt is what you'll ALWAYS do.

I did box on live last time I played. It's not necessarily an evil thing./
