Alt's why?

[Sicno]

In my case it's because sometimes I come up with different ideas for characters I want to play as, and that may involve a different race, hairstyle and name. Stuff that can't be switched on-the-fly via gear sets.

There's also the scenario where you have friends playing on multiple servers, or when you're curious about how things are on other servers.

I level alts because for me it's easier and more entertaining to have the main story quests as a boost to exp than to just grind fates or leves. That way if I get bored with a character, instead of spending 10 dollars on a fantasia, I can just go play another and have fun.

You cannot do this. You get one feed for the chocobo's owner and one feed from any other character. These two may have independent cooldowns, but there are only two.

Yeah I suspect this too, It's not fair if we can train out chocobo unlimited times. I just ever heard of my friend's plan.

Different character concepts. Checking out other servers. Reliving the MSQ.

I made an alt on one server to talk/spend time with someone, that is growing on me fast...gotta be careful though, last time that happened, I got hurt -.-

I wanted an Au Ra but I don't want to switch my main to one since I felt like I would regret it.

Dual/tri-boxing fates off peak, when there are a fraction of the mobs with a fraction of the HP.

Makes levelling alt-classes on your main a synch, and farming 2.xx glamours a cakewalk.

some crafters will use alts as mules for extra inventory space

I have an FC friend who does that, indeed.
