Hey Guys,

I came up with an other useless question but couldnt resist sharing it at 5 am. So dont thrown stones at me.

Probably most of you played MMORPGs atleast once in your life. When I am playing an MMORPG, I usually try all classes at first. Well maybe except fighter types. And then I end up a few medium level characters. Usually I have played atleast 5 characters per game i liked.

What about you? Do you stick with one character or do you play a few of them at the same time. I mean keep a few at top level to complements the needs of your current party so you can say "hold on guys, let me get on with my healer".

Tnx for answers,
Engin.

Being a player who researches things a little bit before picking a class/character, I typically enjoy focusing on one character. While I am playing that character, depending on the game, especially if storage is an issue, I may make a couple of other characters for storage (mules), but I will only make second playable character if I feel my main character is in a place where progression is difficult, undesirable or offers little return.

I am probably the opposite of someone who enjoys making alts to try different things such as leveling more than one character at once. However I am not a masochist. If what I am playing doesn't feel right or isn't what I expected, I'll remake the character. I had to do this in Asheron's Call and WoW.

One. I've never played a MMORPG long enough to consider going for a second one.

Usually n+1, where n is the number of classes available. I tended to play them all the way, too (when I quit GW2 I was 80 by 8, e.g.)

Zero

I pick 1, then I never make it to endgame and move on to something better to spend my life on. No prob. :D

1 in Everquest 2, which I got up to about lvl20 before I stopped playing, and 3 in WoW: lvl 2 troll hunter, lvl 30ish human rogue and a lvl 85 dwarf retr. paladin. Even if I didn't stop playing, I don't think I would've created more characters.

Usually 1.

I was into Age of Conan a great deal when it was new (and good). Me and a friend bought it at release and almost spent the entire summer of 2008 playing it. In the beginning I only had 1 character but then I made a couple of more, I think 2 or 3 made to level 20-40 (my first actually made it to 80 which I recall was the cap).

zero, never played this genre and never will.

I typically have one main, (of the spellcaster variety, usually) one primary alt (of the warrior variety, usually) and one each of every other class (that usually don't get played much).

The more interesting and versatile the classes are, the more likely I am to actually play an alt. For Rift, I played alts endlessly. For the other MMOs I've played, non-primary alts tended to get quite neglected because each class generally only had one or two valid playstyles.

One

You might try .Hack, a PS2 series that's in 4 parts. It's Pseudo MMO where it simulates/emulates being in that type of world while it's really not. Gameplay alternates between going into levels, then going back to the 'desktop' to reply to email and check forum posts and news directly related to the story. (Although you can't choose your class)

Do MUDs count as MMOs? Because that's those are the last MMO that I've played seriously. And I started with one character, maxed it, then started a couple more, maxed half of them... God the many wasted hours just to write the scripts to do repetitive things. With current MMOs you're not even technically allowed to use scripts to make grinding a little less boring.

Depends on how long I play it, though I tend towards altoholic in games I enjoy.

I think in my...5 years playing WOW fairly exclusively (late vanilla-early cata with a few breaks) I had something like 35 toons. By the end of Wrath about 2/3 of them were max level.



...dear lord I've wasted my life.
