Hi. I'm Archaegeo and I'm an Altaholic....

Archae · 12-06-2011, 10:22 PM

It's been 17 hours since my last new character (and thats only because the servers have been down for 17 hours).

I would call my sponsor, but he just rolled a new alt in DCUO.

Please help.

If you, or someone you know, is an altaholic, seek help before its tell late.

Signs include:

Forgetting their name.

Hitting the wrong hotkey for current played class.

Buying a spell your class cant use.

(others?)

Gorpier · 12-06-2011, 10:24 PM

Hi, I'm Gorpier and I too am an altaholic. Its been Two weeks and 17 hours since I last made a character. Unforseen circumstance kept me from logging in and then on the day I was able to log in, a launch day happened. Please help before I do something drastic and create a free account on *gulp* WoW. *cries*

SiegaPlays · 12-06-2011, 10:24 PM

Not sure I belong in this room, but it is about a month since I made my last alt and I still do remember all their names and my own -- on a good day -- but yeah, sometimes I buy crafting recipies in err.

Archae · 12-06-2011, 10:27 PM

I do feel proud that I only have max characters on one server, but that was EQ2X so it was kinda a self imposed limit, but I DIDNT buy new slots.

Of course that doesnt include the 8 I had on live at various stages that I deleted yesterday so my alts on EQ2X could cross over.

I am NOT going to roll a Beastlord.

Really.

Im not.

Hording every piece of gear found, because you always have an alt that might need it later.

Gorpier · 12-06-2011, 10:32 PM

How bout getting to the point where you've already spent too much on additional character slots so you have to delete old characters to create new ones?

Raffir · 12-06-2011, 10:32 PM

Hi,

I'm Raf and I'm an altaholic. Its been 2 weeks since my last new toon. Alas, I have probably deleted more race/class combos mutiple times than most people have ever played. 16 toons and holding 3 empty slots with shaking hands.

Beastlord, yes..but not immediatley

Yeah...deleted 3 toons. One for my Beastmaster, one for a Pvp toon and one for an RP toon. Keep telling myself I WILL not buy any more slots

Raf

Aklira · 12-06-2011, 10:33 PM

I too am an altoholic. my latest toon was made 4 days and 17 hours ago. I have all 7 slots on EQ2 full and 3 on EQ2X (I made an acct there and purchased an extra slot before renewing my EQ2 subscription). Even though I anticipated excessive downtime I am now flinching as I wait for the servers to unlock. *Twitch*twitch*twitch* LOL (fortunately I still remember MY name... maybe...

Axelia · 12-06-2011, 10:35 PM

Oh nooos The beastlord is a must have! I have 10 to play now but I have room for more! I gotta keep deleting though because slots are soooo limited.

I remember when DAoC had 10 on each server and PvE server had 30. At one point i had 37 characters Never enough slots for all the races and classes though.

Archae · 12-06-2011, 10:38 PM

Yeah.

Im sitting here wondering if i can buy an extra slot with my sc while the servers are down or if i should delete my 47 bard/90 provisioner to make room for the beastmaster

Its a grass is greener syndrome.

But I just know, this time, Beastlord will solve all my issues and Ill be cured.

Carthalis · 12-06-2011, 10:41 PM

Hi

I'm Carthalis and currently have 10 alts and only one of them at 90 and all of them ratonga's. Got a space ready for the beastlord when the servers come up.

Eskol · 12-06-2011, 10:46 PM

I thought/My firends thought I was bad...

7 Characters, two of them 90's. I have a tendency to create characters just because I like buying collections/gear/spell books for them. After spending 100+ pp on them I realize I have no business as a Fae Monk, and then I roll a Froglock Bruiser...

SugarPeanut · 12-06-2011, 10:48 PM

Hi i'm < insert various char names here > its been 2 weeks since my last great brilliant witty character name idea.

To be fair my characters 17 hours ago was a Fae Beastlord on Beta server.

melaine_dvarvensplitter · 12-06-2011, 10:52 PM

Hi ..

I am an altaholic.. probably more than most... 25 toons on AB 2 SK's 1 of everything else... 10 are 90, and will be rolling a BL as soon as servers come up. Once they add in the Freeport toons I have my number will increase to almost 35 SMILEY

I hear there are meetings for this sickness but most days I am at work during that time /nod SMILEY

Liezeil · 12-06-2011, 10:53 PM

Hi there. I'm Liez and I'm an altoholic and have been since forever. I had folders full of characters when I played D&D. I played EQ1 since beta and had to recreate alts almost weekly. I never maxed a toon in 7 years. I have 12 alts in EQ2 and just came back after a 9 month break. Two days after I got back I rolled a Gnome Fury. That was 2 days ago. I don't plan on a BL any time soon though. Never had one back in 1. I hope to some day max a toon and on the road to remedying that. Well I need a cup of coffee now. Stay strong and keep the faith

Tigress · 12-06-2011, 10:56 PM

hi, im tigress and i'm an altaholic. i have 30 characters on one account plus (roughly) 10 on alt accounts. it's been less than a week since my last alt was created. with all servers as F2P, i am already thinking of names for empties on my alt accounts. i feel anxiety when i look at the "create character" button and it is greyed out. i could delete but then the alt might come after me & i might regret it so i buy more slots, instead of deletion. it's a miracle that i have two level 90 advenuters and 13 level 90 crafters bc i play on many servers and have more alts that i can actually level in a timely manner. yes, i have a problem but i'm not ashamed and do not plan to seek help.

I would like to hand out the 24 hour tokens to those members who have earned them.

Umm...it seems our 24 hour tokens come in the form of an extra character slot...crap.

Well, good luck to those of you going for your one month tokens, it seems those are alternate accounts.
