We need more then 50 toon per account

If you have more than 50 characters, you play this game way too much :smiley:

Could it be possible for just 60?

I admit I am an altoholic, also aside from a casual job, I do not have a life. So I do like to play all of the characters (Currently one will have to be deleted due to the fact I have no room for an Zanadari). I do play each character a lot, some days I will just log onto everyone doing bgs or dungeons, questing etc.

Also trying out different transmogs is good too, or coming up with different stories for them.

Yeah this also will become the problem. Right now, there are maybe 3-5 characters I could see myself deleting with no choice.

Then that’s it. Pretty much everyone else I made or is pass lv100 or 110. Some are RP purposes. If more allied races and others keep getting added, there will become a point where I won’t able to delete anyone. (Yes I have mutiple Void/Nightborne, what can I say? I like elves. Maybe only one or two out of the void/nightborne I have I might delete).

Even just 60 would seem reasonable.

Can’t believe people think 50 characters are a lot. Wonder what people would think of my 4 active accounts filled with 50 characters each which equals 200 characters.

And people saying we have too much time on our hands or need to get a life, I have a life just like you. I’m a casual player and play about 2-3 hours a day.

I spend about the same amount of time or less than you do playing.

While you’re busy doing your raids, mythics, BGs, sitting in a city trolling trade chat or whatever you do… I’m busy leveling characters or doing world quests with them. Playing on many different servers, playing different factions and all the different races.

After recently deleting a character, which was difficult because all of my alts are either regularly played or have another reason for existing, (any Blizzard person could check for themselves and see my alts are frequently used,) I’m down to only 99.

Each of my toons has their own special transmog, even the hunter still at level 3, and their own backstory.

The alts I’m not currently working on are camping pet tamers so I can level pets quickly, (which I sell,) or are looking after auctioning on various realms so I have access to transmog bargains, (and many several hundred thousand gold they have earned,) or have their own guild banks to store various types of stuff. Although I don’t work hard at leveling these they do all get gradually leveled in dribs and drabs, and I’m fond of them all.

I have ~50 other alts I do play and level regularly. Most of these are over level 100, 15 are 120, and these all but the most recent have ilevels over 380, most over 390.
Most have completed “the world awaits” for this week already, and all the alliance are doing or have finished, “against overwhelming odds.” Having 2 accounts means I can do most things, other than instanced content, on 2 alts at once.

To those who think large-scale alting is something to be judgemental about, mind your own business. You have no idea how someone else is managing their time, what another player’s life situation is, or why they do what they do. Live your own life and stop thinking you know anything about total strangers.

To those who think players should just delete toons, I hope you never live in a society which has a two child policy. I seriously wonder if your inability to understand why some people get fond of toons they play for years in an RPG might indicate a similar inability to understand people being fond of those they know in real life.

Yes! It is not a burden, it is liberating.

That is insanity.

I thought I had alt-itis with 21 characters. :open_mouth:

A lot of people are making that assumption that you need to be playing 50 characters every day to justify wanting more space. I don’t think that is necessarily the way to look at it. I prefer to think of characters as like little trophies. Snapshots of when I played that particular character. I have fond memories attached to my Mage who I levelled in Vanilla and a bit of TBC, but parked in Shattrath when I took a break.
Actually this makes me smile, because I realise as a blue-blooded Alliance player, I am guilty of “hoarding” characters.

Anyway I’m not approaching the character limit so I don’t really have a dog in the hunt, but I just wanted to offer a different perspective.
I do know someone who actively plays 48 characters by himself, but that’s spread across 2 accounts. His guild is Exodar Away Team, based on Cenarion Circle. You can look it up if you are curious.

I agree with you. I have a main, an alt for farming mats, and an alliance alt for rep farming, and I have a hard enough time managing those three toons.

The thought of someone being able to actively play more than 50 toons is… just… madness to me.

at one point in 2014, i had three subscribed accounts and two trial (now starter) accounts. two of the subscribed accounts were from doing RaF and the the starter accounts are just on alias emails i have used.

my primary account is topped off with 50 characters, though only 18 of them are on my home realm, the rest are name squatters and others are aborted rerolls to play with IRL friends (none of whom play anymore) on their realms. so all my unlocked allied race characters are on my second account.

wow5 wow6 wow 7 wow8 I can create many more!
until having 1000 characters.
I will play it.
I can not erase the fun experience of a new character.

the limit is a thing of the past.

If you want more, pay more.
There isn’t unlimited space for characters that you play only once in a while or because you “had a moment” with a particular character and can’t bring yourself to delete it.

are we talking about an MMORPG?

I don’t care how many characters people like to play, but it’s ridiculous to compare them to real people. They’re not real. You can make as many backstory as you want for each of them and it still won’t make them real. It’s all in your head and a bunch of 0s and 1s in a computer.

So have fun with them, but don’t even try to imply they’re anywhere near the same level as a real person. If Blizzard had a disaster and all our characters were deleted, yeah I’d be sad, but it still won’t make them any more real just because we place attachment to them to varying degrees.

To each their own, I say. It is not more wrong or crazy to want to make new characters when you get the urge, than it is to stay with one main and never get the urge to explore a bit. Just like not everyone is meant to be a rocket scientist, or whatever, not everyone wants to write creatively and explore the fun of making new stories.

You don’t like it? I could care less. Do what you want to do. Please allow me to do the things I enjoy.

I have deleted probably as many as I have created over the years. Do I play them all? Not all at once, of course not. But I can create a character to participate in an ongoing story and even have them killed in character and then create something else. This is fun for me and a lot of rpers. Just because there are not a lot of people who love to do this, does not make it invalid.
