Is it silly to level an Alt?

[AmyNeudaiz]

The only problems will be no means to share inventory between the two and having to level things twice for cross class abilities. There is a bonus to this though as you'll get twice the inventory, twice the retainers to sell things, twice the weekly cap for Soldiery, twice the daily roulette and 2 separate lockouts for coil.
Worth the inconvenience.

ah so there's no shared bank or anything ? . I could do it through a guild bank or other players? could I mail my other character stuff?

You can use other players or the Free Company bank (if available) for things that you can trade anyway (mostly just not high end gear/ any gear you've used before) to move things around. If you have a lot of time on your hands some people like doing this so that they can run the current version of Coil twice per week and cap tomes twice per week. For me the caps aren't restrictive so it wouldn't be of any benefit. It just depends on what you want to do and how much of it.

That said, I'd recommend sticking to one character through to some end game stuff and then see if you feel restricted by the lock outs and what not. By then you'll have a good idea of what you'd need to do to get the other character to 50 (not much really, but you'll be faster with it) and an idea of what the benefits will be to you.
