I have a personal problem that I had in retail but i see it coming into classic. However it won’t work easily in classic because I feel i will get burned out.
I like to play as different toons sometimes.
I started with this rogue, then switched to druid, but now I want to play a hunter for a while.
If i do this i will fall behind my new friends
I do this too. That rested xp though
Could have ended the thread there mate. Plenty of people rolled alts in Vanilla. I fully intend to.
I’m doing really good.
Level 45 and haven’t logged into one other character yet.
I have many alts as well. I like to switch it up and level different professions

I wait to level alts untill im at a good resting point with my main. Usualy after hitting cap and doing all the daily stuff.
In about a year, one of them will ding 60…
Thats overestimating heh. I started playing in 2004, and didnt get a character to level cap until mid to lake WOTLK lol
lol To each their own.
at least you are playing on the same realm with different characters, foolish me built 5 troll mages on 5 different servers all of them are around 15 and sometimes i think the one im on i did x but realize crap i gotta do y first again… hahah
If you’re worried about “falling behind” don’t play an alt until you hit 60. If you want to play alts stop worrying about “falling behind”.
Personally I just made One alliance and One Horde char. I like too much of both sides of the story to only play one.
It’s great fun especially on pvp servers
Here’s a crazy idea. So crazy it might be sane!
Hit 60 then level ur alt when ur friends are offline. Might be a world first idea!
I am an altoholic. In January, I purged all my characters (literally 25+ 110 or higher characters) except for three: My main, my preserved vanilla hunter and first character, and one RP character that I play with my wife. Everything else is gone, and I felt so good.
I have so far kept up with just one character on Classic. It’s okay to make switches this early because you are kind of play testing. Classic is great because of the social activity imo. Being too far behind my friends would mean we couldn’t do as much together, and it motivates me to stick with it.
In actual vanilla, I missed out on a lot of things with my friends because I spent so much time on alts. I regret it. I encourage you to pick one class and go to max. Then, if you’re wanting an alt, create one.
I’m aggressively temped to start rolling alts, but i gotta stick to my main before I do that otherwise I’ll never hit 60.
I would find it tedious having to run through all the same quests again on new characters… that’s me though. I typically just go deep on my one warrior. Since I can only play one character at a time, the time spent on other characters takes away from progression from my warrior lol.
So what if you do?
You will eventually catch up to them.
No big deal.
Can you have alliance and horde on the same server or is that not a thing?
Not on pvp server
