What's the point of having two characters?

Hey, just wondering if anyone else out there actually has more then one character that they play and if so why?

I started playing at launch and leveled a char up to 44 then I stopped playing for about 6 months or so. I’ve just gotten back into the game and I created a new char to see how the leveling process and questlines changed. I have gotten up to lvl 31 now and I’m thinking about just hoping back onto my level 44 to continue leveling in order to get to end game quicker. Not really seeing the point anymore in having multiple characters since you can just level everything up and there really isn’t any difference between any two chars except the gear you have and the highest level of weps/crafting/gather/etc.

I actually have several characters I’ve leveled to 60. Mostly just to experience leveling after changes etc, plus playing with different people on different servers :slight_smile:

You can get them on the same server with merges and can be used as another daily cd for the company or they can be used to check out a server before transferring

But there really isn’t a point in having one unless you lvl 60

I thought they didn’t allow you to have more than one char per world set?

They dont, but when merges happen if you have a character on both servers they got put on the same server when it merged

Ah ok, gotcha. I’m surprised that they even let that happen. Seems like it would be a huge advantage to allow one account to have two chars on the same server. I would have thought they would force the two chars to be on difference servers during a merge.

It is kind of but you cant be on them at the same time and they dont share storages so its like having two accounts that cant directly trade each other.

They started locking servers before merges so people couldn’t do this

Most alts I’ve heard about are to level again basically. Alternatively, spare cooldowns for resources.

I really don t like the fact we can t have a second character on the same server, i ll love to have my mage as main and a bruiser or tank as second one and i suggested to don t add more space bank except bags space in inventory .

Don t really enjoy the game cuz i know i could play other thing then just my mage and i am not into changing all my stats and armor build and blah blah blah …

2 Character with same spaces bank, same housing and same trade post would do the the job.

I mean at this point they have nothing to lose, their game’s in shambles and basically only loyalists are around asking for what seem to be very light features.

I think there’s just some stodgy old hat somewhere in the team that’s made some of these choices and, as a result, is determined to stick by them. Like 1 character per server.

I would love it if they allowed 1-2 more alts on a server, for a CHANGE I’d feel like I could craft something on my 60 for an alt and it be useable (I’m 99% sure I’ll have to make 30 per item to craft something somewhat decent BUT at least for me, crafting would serve a small part in game). It’d be nice to have a main and a side toon or two using different skill set/s than my main

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I just logged on to my level 44 char, and guess what…the main questline is just gone. Not sure what to do about that lol. Posted on the bug forum but I’ve seen multiple posts about the same thing without a CM responding.

I would google it if you knew roughly where you were in the story and try to find the original questgiver for that quest. Changes in one way or another may have dropped the quest for you.

That’s my best suggestion, anyway.

gotcha, thanks for the help. I’ll try and figure out that way. Wild that’s even an issue.
