People with Alts

[Battlewrench]

I don't, never liked alts or the idea. Might end up rolling another character to see how the new race looks with actual gameplay instead of spending money to change to and from but will only really play one. I don't know guess I don't like doing the leveling process but so many times in most games.

I'm not really an alt person, but I have one alt that's meant to goof around on another server with some friends, since I transferred my main a while back. It does sometimes give me a break from the things I've been concentrating on for my main though, and that's really nice. And it will give me a chance to play around with the au ra once the expansion hits since I'm pretty set on my main's current looks. Outside of that though, I do wish progression could go a little bit faster for all additional characters you choose to level once you've hit 50 on your first one.

So how do you guys deal with alts?

I have 3 characters that are in Coil and done with 2.55 and unlocked most of the content and have 5 more characters that level 22+ on my main server, all joined their respective GC and working on getting choco's. Its a good way to pass time

Only really plan on having 3 of my characters 2.55+ though so I been working on gathering for several of them.

I have 2 alts.

1 looks like my FFXI character. The other I made to do a valentione event because my RL hubby and I both play female characters. And 1st years event needed 2 different genders.

My poor legacy character became my "alt" when betas started and we couldn't yet access our legacy characters yet and had to create a new one... and just grew too attached to my Shuu. I'm feeling very bad about that every single time I think of him. I'm just trying to get to SoF with him now, before expansion hit - much like how I rushed to lv45 or whatever when the Lightning quests were here (because he's very much behind with everything), and 50 after that just so he could finally have his relic. I find it difficult to handle two characters, to be honest but I wouldn't get rid of either of them for all the gil in the world.

Have two toons and will make third when Heavensward releases. That way I can experience all the MSQ chains.

Considering the time I invested in getting my main all those 50s and all that gear and crafting gear and getting through all the content, unlocking all the content... nah I don't have enough time in my life to invest in redoing that for another character... even if I did have the time what's the point...?

My thought exactly.

I'm a chronic reroller in most MMOs - at the time I quit I had four characters at the level cap in WOW, another one getting close, and about three or four other dudes I was in the process of levelling.

This game... not so much. I've made a couple of alt characters just to see how the initial introductory scenes play out for different starting towns, and I started playing through one of the other toewns' main scenarios before getting bored. What I realised is that it's not characters themselves I get bored of, it's playing the same class all the time, so being able to switch class pretty much at will suits me just fine.

That, and the amount of busywork it requires to unlock anything in this game... Maybe one day when I've got literally nothing else I want to do on my character I'll devote some proper time to an alt or two, but right now there's just no need.

I am an alt fiend, right now i only have two characters that i really play but that is only because i still haven't gotten that "just right" feeling from any of them so I ended up making Link Taru as kind of a joke character but he became my main, and Zarumaru is a re-design of one of my FFXI characters.

When Heavensward comes out I will be making an au ra female cnj to be my main, and two more of her i will play to 15 in ul'dah and limsa so i can pretend that it is all one storyline (to make things more meaningful)
