Having more than one character serves no purpose, you are wasting your time, for absolutely no gain. I don't even know why SE offers us 8 character slots. There are no get rich schemes that come with having multiple characters.

It's like working on two projects simultaneously. Projects never really have an ending, anyways, most seasoned mmorpg players know that its best to focus on one and not multiple characters. This is the typical mentality novice mmo players get, the idea of more than one character. I too back in the early days of FFXI, I created multiple characters, wasted months of work and time.

On the other hand.. I have like 20 characters, all but my main are just there for holding names hostage. I will never level them up. Thought about giving some names up. But there is no rename option, so I'll continue to hold them hostage.
