I think it is really silly not to be able to send mail to your alt. Honestly! Why are there players telling other players that it is silly or whatever to how they want to play? There will be people who want to try out the different races in case one of them does not work for them....and maybe a different starting area. That too can be fun if you are tired of the same area starting out. How about those who have mains but want a character they can just mess with, not super max out it all? Or maybe a character to HOLD stuff if you are all out of room?

No play style is wrong. It keeps players in the long run!!
