Editing Cheating in online games (section)

===Twinking===
{{Main|Twinking}}
Twinking is the act of transferring gear intended for higher level characters to lower level characters that would be incapable of obtaining the gear on their own. Twinked characters have a huge advantage over non-twinked characters, as well as the rest of the game world. This is usually used by players who wish to create a new character, either to help them level more rapidly or to gain an unfair advantage in PvP (''i.e.'' player versus player, a type of multiplayer interactive conflict). Most MMORPGs tolerate it, provided that the twinked character is not used in PvP combat against non-twinked characters. Often limits on twinking are placed into the game, usually through strict level or stat requirements to equip the item. Circumventing these level requirements would then be further cheating.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.weflyspitfires.com/2009/09/17/twinking-is-just-another-form-of-cheating/ |title=Twinking Is Just Another Form Of Cheating &#124; We Fly Spitfires - MMORPG Blog |publisher=Blog.weflyspitfires.com |date=2009-09-17 |access-date=2010-07-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100727020911/http://blog.weflyspitfires.com/2009/09/17/twinking-is-just-another-form-of-cheating/ |archive-date=2010-07-27 }}</ref>
