As you can see i called this thread "Twink info for dummies" because i see alot people making threads about the subject "I locked my xp and i don't get any games" and questions like "In wich battlegroup are Twinks active" and similar questions about twinking. (Also alot can be found on twinkinfo.com, but it won't show activity to the people not using this site).
To solve this problem and to answer repeating questions i am making this thread and with the help from all other people who have more information about these subjects, we will try to give you the best information as possible in one sticky thread.
I believe that directing people to the correct battlegroup is a good form of advertising for our small community and it might make our community even bigger and more competative again =)

We're looking into implementing cross-battlegroup battlegrounds with the launch of Cataclysm. That would apply for both rated and regular battlegrounds, and we hope that we will have more concrete details to share on this subject in the future.
Cataclysm Class & Mastery System Update
When we first announced our design goals for class talent trees back at BlizzCon 2009, one of our major stated focuses was to remove some of the boring and "mandatory" passive talents. We mentioned that we wanted talent choices to feel more flavorful and fun, yet more meaningful at the same time. Recently, we had our fansites release information on work-in-progress talent tree previews for druids, priests, shaman, and rogues. From those previews and via alpha test feedback, a primary response we heard was that these trees didn’t incorporate the original design goals discussed at BlizzCon. This response echoes something we have been feeling internally for some time, namely that the talent tree system has not aged well since we first increased the level cap beyond level 60. In an upcoming beta build, we will unveil bold overhauls of all 30 talent trees.
