twink means that you start another character or an alt and buy lots of high end equipment to put on him. you then have for talking sake a level one char wearing equipment only really affordable by a level 40-50 player.
Its also used as a slang word to describe a (mostly) male young, (probably underaged) lover who doesn't do anything for a living but gettin' everything from "daddy"(=his rich lover) in return for the pleasure he provides.
Really sounds related to the EQ twinks in my opinion :D
I am a n00b as far as ***** lingo goes, but MordenRasp, are you serious as to the root of twink as a term, or were you being facetious? If so that is one of the funniest things I have ever heard! Just curious...
Twink means that someone has "twinked" a relatively low level character with gear that normally would be impossible for him to get.
This normally is the result of a high(er) level main character getting (or buying) equipment outside of their class that they pass on to a lower alternative characer.
As an example, my 57 chanter a while back won a LDON greed roll for a BST leggings with recommended level of 50. I gave the item to my level 11 BST, making it twinked.
Twinked characters have much better stats than normal characters and are able to progress faster as a result of being able to do things normally difficult or impossible for their level.
