I mean, England, China, Africa, they have all these myths and stories of magic that has a flavor unique to their experience. The United States being a young country has much less of that. But what if that's because magic just hasn't coalesced in a form unique to the American experience yet. What would a magical hero, the analogue of the Honoree look like? Two hours later, the POWER OF FREEDOM was level ten and I had another alt to work on.  I didn't used to be like this. I used to play one or two characters at most in MMORPGs. Then some altoholic asked me to start an alt with him. He swore it wasn't addictive. Off to a meeting.  |

(yes, if khelds didnt look cool, rian probably wouldn't have made the push either) and for gek, cool to know you are tying alt craziness, I know a lot of your thinking tends to stem from mindsets that originated in eq and older alt-unfriendly games, perhaps a good dose of alt craziness might broaden your perspective on some alternate play philosophies.at 64 chars i consider myself a mid-range alter myself. a grand total of 3 fiddies too.
2 accounts, 250 toons, 28 lvl 50's... >.>
Annnnnnnyways *Tries to direct the attention away from herself* Your new character sounds neat. Would love to see a screenie!

I went with Liquid Krystal for my Ice/Ice Blaster (I still can't say that without humming the Vanilla Ice tune). I've only taken it on Virtue, it could be available on the other servers.|

Soooo... is this the AltAnon meeting? Sorry I'm late, I was leveling a lowbie
One of the guys I play with got his 50th 50 a couple of months ago. I think he's up to like 55 now.
I've only played a year, but I have 4 50s, one in the high 30s and about 5 zillion 25 or below. And I keep coming up with new toon ideas. I just can't help myself. . .
I've never been able to decide if I'm really an altaholic or not...
On the "Not" side, I only have one account and I only have toons on two different servers. My typical play-style for most of my time in the City has been to start one toon, and then play it through to 50 before I started the next.
On the "Oh yeah. You're an alt-o-maniac." side, I do have about 30 of these guys on my home-server now, and another three on Virtue. That's a heck of a lot of goofy Rularuu bird-things. (Especially compared to Aion, where my toon collection numbers exactly TWO. o_0) I've also fallen out of my one-at-a-time habit since GR went live. I had 6 "in progess" at the same time for awhile there. One by one, they're getting to 50 and the number who need to be leveled is starting to get back under control... but it's going to be months before I have everyone at cap, equipped and something close to Done.
Also adding fuel to the Altoholic fire: My list of 50s has outgrown the character count limit on my forum sig. Zhen was the last one I had room for.

If you want to include all of them in your signature, you could fake it by making a .png that just has text on a transparent background and type as much as you want and use the image as your sig by uploading it to photobucket/imageshack/whateveryouwant.

I think I'm just going to throw in the towel on listing them all, though. By the time the current crop of lowbies-that-are-definitely-keepers is done, I'd probably still be pushing the limit.
I suspect I'll end up with a graphic of some sort before it's over. Or I'll just stick to listing Pally and Kestrel, since they're my blue and red side mains.

On the other hand, now I have notes for far more toons than I can ever play.
I'm thinking to create a massive arena-themed AE arc and just dump in something like 50 boss encounters to finally be able to use them all...

I fill up a server then move to a new server and fill that one up. So far I have filled like 3 or 4 plus used up all my free character slots. I have a solo SG on pretty much all of them too except for Virtue I think which I filled up before they had SGs (or multiple pages of characters). My characters there still haven't been respeced for Power Diversification when I move on I move on LOL.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

I hate altoholics because they refuse to make themselves useful and get accolades at 50.
