    Alts. How many do you have and what do you do with them?

    I've noticed over the years people mention their alts and whatnot and sometimes people say they have like 3+ alts and I'm just curious what people do with them.

    I've had my Renalt since before Heavensward and I've still not done everything on that one character. Granted lately I just mess around in Balmung Shout Chat these days but there is just a LOT to do.

    When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.

    Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.

    Playing since ARR.

    Never made a single alt, it's pointless since your character can have all the jobs.

    Even when a character can have all the jobs, sometimes you either want to experience the story again on a new character, or level classes *differently*, or see how far you can get on the road-to-## buff, etc etc.

    Personally, I make alts a lot just to relevel and experience certain things again, but differently. It's fun, and every one of my alts has a different backstory.

    I just noticed that if our characters kissed...I would have two pointy horns aimed perfectly at my jugulars.

    That's awesome. I like the danger.

    i have 4 alts i got my main a midlander i got alt #1 an aura alt #2 a highlander alt #3 another midlander alt #4 a viera all females

    what do i do with them? whatever i want, i might do the main story, or run POTD i might go fishing or crafting or whatever i feel like

    why have alts you ask when your main can be every job? simple, variety its the spice of life why buy a fantasia every time i wanna play a different race when i can just roll an alt and play a different race for free (i've been wanting to make a femroe for awhile now but i just dont like the way they run)

    I have five characters each maining one or two jobs as I don't like doing everything on a single character. Each one was created with role play in mind hence each one fits a particular play style.

    I make tons of alts because I love experimenting and designing different charismas. Since I'm an RPer, my characters have personalities and stories of their own. It's just fun!

    I don't play all of them all the time, though. I just level whoever I feel like leveling, usually to get them any suitable glamour that I like.

    Just two alts atm, have a friend on NA DC and EU is my main so no other way to play with 'em

    ( well unless they expand from logical to physical one day )

    The other was kinda made in a panic . . back when steam was dropping the legacy launcher support there was just that unknown period if using a linux distro would work since new launcher was broken so in that time spun up a alt just in case. but now it just sits in reserve for peace of mind.
