I know some people have alts, and since you can do literally everything in this game with a single character, I was wondering what different reasons people have for playing them.

Like, do you run magic classes on a lalafell, and tanking classes on a roegadyn?

Or do you do DoW and DoM classes on your main and DoH, and DoL on your alt? And if so have the mailing restrictions been lifted, and if not how do you share between your main and alt?

Or any other reasons? I'm sure there's plenty.

Also if you are playing alts, are you playing different race/genders?
