    You people and your alts lol. I will be Manqo'te don't need other characters thanks to the job system, but I suppose its up to the player if they want 8 different cha's per server, I will be having my Epic Win character only for a mule in the future.

    Yeah, I don't really get having multiple characters either... one character to rule them all, I say. Everything else is just mule if anything.

    What is a mule? Is it the same as a bank alt?

    And people who don't have alts are weird.

    I guess it is? It's just another character who carries a lot of your stuff if it can't fit into your retainers, armoire, armoury chest, inventory and whatever other storage items we get. I had a packed inventory in the old game but in the current game I'm pretty much fine, so I expect most people won't have any real trouble managing their stuff.

    Still, as a gatherer/crafter, I do look forward to additional storage. It's way easier than having to log out of one character, log in as another, deliver gear between, log back out, log back in, etc. I've only filled one bag so far with the new system but I've yet to get all of my stuff from the old game (you have to speak to an NPC and retrieve them one by one). The Armoury Chest is amazing when it comes to making life easier.

    There's no real reason to have an alt in this game outside of storage and the storage is surprisingly generous due to the armoury chest allowing for 25 of each type of gear. I have armour for every one of my classes in that thing and it's not even close to full (weapons aside, I think I have 15-20 of them out of 25).

    In the old game, I knew something like two people who had an alt they actually bothered with. xD One was just to have around as a White Mage in order to raise people should his entire party die.

    Mostly for wanting to play something that looks different.

    And having to level everything all over again? Man, and you guys call yourselves casual. I don't know if I could handle that kind of torture.

    That's why you only level certain classes/jobs on certain ones It would be torture doing everything on everyone.

    White Mage on one
    Paladin on the other

    ...but Paladin can use White Mage skills you've unlocked, so you'll want to have them, so you level White Mage on that one as well. But White Mage also uses Archer skills, so... oh God.

    I understand how the system works, so far, but I do like having another character to play a little differently and see something else other than the same character. Leveling is normal when you end up playing games like Disgaea and grind for fun.

    Unless you can a.) turn you current character into multiple characters, each with different names and backstories, and b.) level all over again, then there are lots of reasons for alts.

    I play MMOs to level and roleplay. Max level characters are boring.

    I would almost definitely have multiple characters because I can try out different races and also experience the storylines for the other 2 major starting points, rather than only knowing the Ul'dah point of view
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..
