Do you play alt characters, if so why?

i hope you are taking advantage of the 1 character subscription discount on the mog station.

the 12.99 one? yeah i got time card but soon ill put the sub back in for that 1.

Yes, I have alts. All my characters exist outside of FF in roleplay so they have specific looks and personalities. Therefore, some classes don't make sense for some of them. So I play certain classes on certain alts. My hubby also doesn't play as much, so a couple keep pace with his characters. I'm also a crafter, so if I want to cover all specialties without having to swap back and forth, then I need two alts that are set for the 5 I can't do on my main crafter. I have my own FC, so the chest is open for me. A shared bank or the ability to mail your alts like EverQuest II had would be great, but unfortunately does not exist here.

Yep, I have many alts. Mostly just cause I like making characters and I hate being limited to one race.

I actually hate being able to be all classes on one character to be honest. Between that and so many basic little things being locked behind level 50, main scenario, and the inability to send yourself stuff, this game is extremely alt unfriendly. It makes it difficult to play them as much as I normally would in another game.

Truly makes me sad as I adore my lalafel so much. She would've been my main had my cousin not screwed me over when the game came out lol.

Also had a Moon'qote I lvl'd as well just cause I liked their fangs... though I changed her to Au'ra when HW came out.

Awesome! I always wondered if there were any players who used that option. Now I know.

When A Realm Reborn first launched it was only possible to do each raid instance once per week on a given character. I had more than 7 friends who wanted to do raid content so I created an alt to help out with a second raid group. My old character was a legacy character from 1.0 and had everything at 50 from the launch of ARR, but I like my new character more, I keep them both vaguely relevant because the old one has most of the crafting classes at 60.

To think that I have to get through All msq quests again ... urgh...
So no alt for me.

[MuseTraveller]

I pay for 6 months so I have the alt option anyway. I re-created an NPC one as a joke... and I grew attached to the lil spud. It was actually fun running the MSQ with an NPC face. Eventually caught up and geared for SB. I don't RP in game. I'm just running with the alt for shenanigans.

[New_Game_Plus]

I have two alts. One on Balmung I made when the game first came out and one on Mateus that I made as a twin character with my boyfriend just to pass some time till SB. I ended up becoming attached to the latter and have been running through the story with him. Also been getting his crafter and gatherer classes to 60- most focusing on fishing. (SPEAR FISHING YO!)

[Driavna]

Nope, no need for an alt in this game.

I've beein Tanking for about 10 years and never enterd Dps. Thus I now tried ninja as it allows me to think fast and move more freely than with my heavy weight War. SAM will be my last dps Alt.
