Super Character vs Multiple

[Jaminos]

The game has a dozen little ways to gain XP as well. Each class has a hunting or gathering journal which will give small xp rewards. These add up after time.

Another thought is aesthetics.
Do you want to stare at the same character leveling every class? As a rule, I only play male characters as my main. However there are time I do enjoy leveling a female character just because its not the same thing. Certain classes just look better for females in my opinion. I rather play a WM as a female character than a male. Its not because of gender stereotypes, I just think it looks better. Same for Bard. I like female Bards better as well.

It boils down to, do I want to spend a few dollars more a month and have access to all 8 characters or do I want one super character that has access to everthing I need.

Well - you can actually sub for 180 days in advance and pay the same price as ther "entry" sub or get cheaper prepaid cards online for almost the same price as the entry / 180 days monthly fee so that's the last of the concerns. While I've opted for the standard full sub before the game was even out and have all 8 main chars on my home servers (each for one DoW / DoM class) I'm currently using the first one only to level all the classes and jobs and later on I'll start switching slowly to next one having various races, genders and looks as well.
