Twinking is not nearly as big a deal as it used to be.
If I remember correctly, version 1.08 added level requirements to unique items. Until then, you could equip a level 1 noobie character with any unique as long as the character met the strength and dexterity requirements.
As an aside to my aside, my project with D2/X is to work characters "tuned" to the different Sets. Since it is unreasonable to find all parts of a Set with a single character in a reasonable amount of time, it is obvious that my style of play requires transferring items between characters. It isn't a "cheat", and if anything, it is a handicap to a character in the later game to have a low-level set equipped. On the other hand, it is interesting to work out ways to overcome the shortcomings of different sets with different character classes.
