Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I'm at the moment leveling a warlock to 60 (level 42 now) and just wanted to try something else.
I've never twinked before so I wanted to try it out seeing as this server won't have dead bg's at the lower level brackets. So a couple of questions:
- Which are good twink classes that not many other people play? Or is it best to just roll a rogue / hunter at level 19?
- I don't have much gold (around 25g) on my main character so I can't spent much on my twinks gear (yet). Should I wait until I can afford BIS gear or is it possible to get decent gear for little to no gold?
- How active are the BG's? Only in the evening (EU time)? Or does it not matter?
- Which faction is in need of the most twinks or are there enough twinks that it really doesn't matter?
- Is there an active community? Which guilds are good to approach for twinking?

Thanks a lot.

With 25g you can forget about 19 bracket. Twink rogues will eat your alive.
Want some fun games, roll priest and level him to 29

Any other opinions on this subject?

Hey dude,

I would recommend playing at 29 instead. I didn't intend to twink or hang around at this level but have done so for a couple of weeks because the games are really fun. I guess I made about 15g levelling up and have spent that all on AH greens. You'll still be able to have fun and some good fights with this. If you come across a very heavily twinked opponent 1 on 1 you will lose (as I do, when you see a frostbolt hit someone and take off only 5% of their life, you think uhoh, better start running away!), but if you can accept that, you can still have good games and help out your team.

There is a fairly active community and one proper twink guild on each side, Almost Thirty on alliance, and Post Pwned on horde.

As mentioned I currently play only in AH greens with no proper enchants at this level and it's pretty fun. I never intended to stay but I've been caught up in the bracket for a couple of weeks because the games are quite good value.

On alliance side the queue is almost zero, on horde, can vary between 5-20 mins. Usually 1 game of WSG running and sometimes on busy nights an AB too.

Feel fee to play whatever class you enjoy, classes tend to come in cycles. I've been in games with 4 warriors my side, then 4 mages, so you can't predict what will be needed. Rogues remain popular as ever though. I have to say good warlocks are rarely seen, I guess because they are tricky to play.

The 19 bracket is very open to newcomers.
There are guilds that can be very supportive in gearing your twink. On alliance our guild is <Immortal Aura>
For horde I would recommend <Open Face Surgery>
For 25 gold you can make a very powerful twink provided you choose the right class. All classes can be effective, but the most effective class for a cheap twink is undoubtedly hunter, as they can be very powerful with just BoP gear from dungeons. Currently Alliance has more twinks than Horde, so I would recommend rolling an orc or troll. With that said, queue times are instantaneous throughout the day on both factions. Without a doubt, 10-19 is the most active bracket excluding level 60. If you want more information about anything just message me or any officer from our guild.

Gonna have to disagree with you on being able to make a powerful twink with 25g. No matter what class you choose you'll want at least 50 to be able to get the bare minimum. With a hunter you should be able to gear mostly through BoP dungeon drops but you better hope you get them all before 19 or you'll be paying for runs unless you have a friend to run you. Even then it's gonna be very difficult to get enchants on all your gear and level up engineering even if you don't go for BiS enchants. 29 is actually the cheapest bracket to make a budget twink with from what I've heard.

I would suggest , while leveling your main , check AH daily to find some good deal on twink gear. Sometime newcomer put twink gear for cheap. Hope to see you on the battlefield
