I understand the good intent behind this post but I would really not want this game to be like WoW where suddenly people have more role-play characters at 80/90 than the amount of brain, personal time and energy required to develop them on a meaningful level.

A huge thing about online RP is that you have to use your imagination to fill in a lot of the gaps. You do not need an alt character for a story NPC or event NPC, imo.

I used to role-play on WoW and up until around Cataclysm, most people had a dedicated character whose story they worked on and developed at length. Then came the age of a million alts and people couldn't decide which one they wanted to use, where people became more fickle and characters became more like coats to try on occasionally instead of something we put any time into developing. I know that doesn't apply to everyone, ofc but I also don't want a shit tonne more IMVU alts running around everywhere. It's jarring enough as it is, lol.

It also made trying to recruit for an RP guild a nightmare.
