Rushing
,no edit summary
'''Rushing ''' or '''turboing''' is the process of using a higher level [[character to "]] rush" or "turbo" one or more lower level characters through the game. This is a useful tactic in most RPGs since characters earn higher rewards from higher level monsters.
==Rushing Etiquette==
It's common for low level characters to offer to give up the item drops or various [[quest]] rewards, in exchange for being rushed. It's very poor form to renege on this sort of agreement, but in the cut throat world of online gaming, it's not unheard of.
==Rushing in Diablo II==
Rushing is very common in ''[[Diablo II]]'', since the shared experience at higher levels is vastly greater than what any low level [[character]] could earn playing for real. Also, many eventually grow bored of running through all of the [[quest]]s and killing all the low level enemies. Players want to jump right to the [[end game]], where the best [[item]]s are found.
