Diablo lent itself to Twinking, since gear made the character. But level restrictions kept it in check. Let's not confuse Twinking with Power-Leveling. In Diablo, I'd sometimes have my high-levels drop gold and low-level gear for my new characters, just to get them started. My mules would hold gear for when they leveled up. Some characters I'd just have them play 'as is', using only the gear they found themselves. I never was into power-leveling in Diablo. City of Heroes was a power-leveling mill, if you had the right missions. (How many of you sat on the rock in the 'wolf mission' while a fire tanker repeatedly cleared the level?)

Ah yes, how can I forget spending hours and hours planning out the perfect assignment of skill points. No point wasted, no skill un-needed. Then the Nerf Bat (tm) swings and makes your character utterly useless. The pain! The wailing! The gnashing of teeth! Re-roll time.

I'm sure some enterprising guilds will find the ultimate, fastest method to twink and power-level their characters in Huxley.
