I have over forty characters in the CO beta. I think I'm allowed to say that, since you see many of them on their site.
I do not suffer altoholism. I enjoy it very much.

I've seen those. I think I currently have 3 versions of Ironik over there, as well as 2 of Photon X. Needless to say, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm not sure I understand the question. We're in beta, so....

Is it wrong that I've made a couple alts that match up with your alts?

Oh... so you need to have access to beta. I never did get an invite. Oh well.

Not at all. What did you make?

Here's a comic book cover I made that I'd totally forgotten about until stumbling on it just now:

He related to Conan the Librarian?

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

Holy crap. I thought I had altitis. You guys have done gone alphabetized your alts and took screenies. I just have a handwritten list of all my alts, listed by server.
Between my two accounts now I have like over 140 alts. The few that I've deleted are lost forever. I MIGHT have a couple of them still written down somewhere though...
Guess I'll just have to alphabetize all of my alts now. Screenshots might be a while.
I just alphabetized all my toons:
Listing A-Z
A) Alzul Graxin, Ancient Obligo, Arachneae, Archean, Aryiaki, Autumn Desire
B) Big Bad Spider, Bitchenstein, Block Ben, Bonnie Sairia, Bruiser Mac, Busta Rambone

U) Unfortunately
V) Valsalvia, Veronica Vital, Vyzock
W) War Sister, Whenever, Widow Sister,
X) Xiala

This listing doesn't take into account that some of these names I've cloned across the servers, nor does it take into account copies of toons I've sent to the test server.
Total toon count plus cloned names minus copies on test equals 159 toons. So with copies on test I'm up in the 160's. Not to mention I need to make toons with names starting with Y & Z!

It took quite some time to assemble this compilation screenshot. Click on "Download" on the upper right to get the full size version.

All it took for me to embrace my altitis was this game called City of Heroes/Villains, a creative streak of naming heroic and villainous toons, a notebook and a pencil.
However, when I made that alphabetized list, I took screenshots of the toon listings in-game, transferred the names to Word and then wrote up the listing. Dummy me numbered the listing AFTER I wrote up the alphabetized list. Go figure hahahahahaha!
I'm afraid I may have lost my altitus. It started a few weeks ago when I was helping a friend work on badges. He's up to 666+ badges now. Meanwhile, my "nominal" badger and main toon Mouse Police had a measly 400 or so. I decided to do something about that.
After a respec and rebuild to make the toon more PvP friendly and also more TF-exempted friendly, I began working on badges in earnest. At the moment I'm at 619, and working my way through the Ouro badges. After that I have a lot of PvP badges to work on, and random Gladiator badges and other stuff.
But I've hardly played any other character in the past 3 weeks. I have four defenders that I'd recently played up to the low 40's, and they haven't budged from there. Another defender is 47 and holding. I have big plans to purple out a war shade, but she's still level 33. And after listening to Steampunk-related music lately I came up with several Steampunk-related toons, but I haven't done a thing with them... every night when I log in, I just want to get more badges for Mouse.
What's a poor altaholic to do?

my lil RWZ Challenge vid
A quick check through my list shows I'm only missing the letters H O W Y, which of course spells (incorrectly) Howie, which leads me to believe that Howie Mandell being on AGT this year is somehow responsible for this grievous oversight in my achieving alphabetical totality... *Sigh* I knew no good would come of eliminating David.
Bring back the Hoff!
Completely random segue of randomness for the week... nailed it!

With the mutant pack being released, and GR on its way, the temptation of altitis shall soon strike once again!
Of course, now with the mutant pack being released, that also means having to reoutfit a bunch of previous toons...but who would want to go through all that trouble when you can just make a new toon!
Heya peeps, I'm back. Just for the record, hospitals are no fun but I'm glad I went. (I'm better now, no worries.)
Time to add the new alts! Here's the first guy, my GR Whip/Storm MM Whipper-Snapper. A bit on the non-serious side, but he's been a hoot to play.
I named each of his demon pets after real demons:
Dybbuk (Jewish for demon)
Ukobach (Inferior demon who maintains the fires of hell; appears ablaze) - the fire demon
Itzcoliuhqui (demon god of the Aztecs. He brought cold and destruction.) - the ice demon
Uphir (demon physician) - the healing demon
Astaroth (prince of Hell) - the big guy
Bael (head of the Infernal Armies, commands 66 legions) - the REALLY big guy

Another new guy, DP/Electric Blaster USAim. DP has been a disappointment, but at least he looks cool.

This thread is still awesome.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Here's an experimental toon, Only Child. I just made him on Friday on Freedom and was surprised the name wasn't taken. It's a test of whether or not I can play a character without leveling him past 2. (Which is actually harder than one might think. Out of sheer force of habit after an Atlas Park zombie invasion I clicked on Ms. Liberty and was about to choose powers when I caught myself.)
He's a Kinetic Melee/Willpower Scrapper, just to make it easier on myself. (I wanted to go Brute to make it easier still, but I just didn't want to go through CoV or GR yet again.) Although I wasn't thinking of it at the time, inherent Fitness will also make him tons easier to play than otherwise. Aside from not training him up, I'm going to use my 3 vet powers as well as any temp powers I get or craft. All in all, this will be far easier to do than when I first conceived of it four years ago, but it should be interesting nonetheless.
I went for a British schoolboy look as much as I could. If you ignore the shininess of the Boxer shorts it doesn't look too terrible. Just wish we could color the Sneakers all black.

Okay this idea of never levelling frightens me! It just goes to show you may have hit the wall on alt-itis! LOL I would go nuts with that small handful of powers. Best of luck though!

4 inspirations, 4 pieces of salvage and 1 recipe completely change how I look at bad guys. I've decided I'm just going to have to sell everything unless I accidentally happen to get most of the right salvage to craft a temp power. Status effects kill me, literally. This is even harder already than my melee-only Blaster was back in the day.

Anyway, from one altaholic to another, I wish you luck in your endeavor.

There's no wagering because this is not a competition. I'm winning, though.

but the MA is a great way to appease the Althoholic though ... you can create full groups with concepts and all and they don't take up slots .... (saving costumes helps too .. hehe)

Oh so true. If you want to see more of my creations, many of which are alternate-world versions of our Earth's toys, pop into the AE building and check out arc 132772, "The Toy Box." Bigger groups spawn more unique bosses, too.
