Do you (or Damion, or anyone else) have opinions about twinking one's own
low-level characters? Of course it bothers me, as one more type of
multiplaying weirdness. But I'm not sure of how it affects play. It could
be argued that it short-circuits gameplay by allowing people to run
through second characters too quickly. But it could also be argued that it
encourages folks to make second characters instead of simply quitting.
