I have 2 rangers and 2 elementalists, a warrior and a paragon. I need to get rid of a few but they are close to their birthdays so I am going to wait. My one ranger is my main character though. I could never, ever get rid of her. She is the one I go for titles with.

Crom The Pale · Oct 23, 2007, 12:26 AM // 00:26

I currently have 9 lvl 20 pve toons.

Crom is my main toon and the only one I play for titles. When the grind gets too boring I switch up to another char for a few days or so just to change things up.

Going from a war to a mesmer or ranger or rit, ect can really shake things up as the play style is so very diffent. I generally take a few rune to get the feel of the class and to break a few habbits that work great for my armor heavy war but tend to be suicidle for my casters.

Basically I've reached a nicely balanced ratio that works for me.

4:1

For every 4K I spend on Crom I'll spend 1K on one other char. That lets me equip all of my chars with max armor and some runes for there heros while I load Crom up with the good stuff and fully equip all of his heros.

Time spent playing is the same, for every 4hours on Crom I've 1hour on another char, though I never actually set a clock to my playing time it does seam to work out that way.

Gah, multiple...
13 characters - 1 pvp, 2 low lvl storage.
Of the remaining I've five that I play more often (generally) than the rest:
Rit, Mes, Monk, Ele, Ranger.

My necro and paragon are going for survivor so I don't touch them much :S as I'm afraid I'll loose it

My dervish sits around waiting for whenever my sister wants to play her dervish.

And I've a new NF mesmer who is also going for survivor - had a couple of close calls already too :S So I only play her when the lag isn't too bad.

Hmm, that's only 9... Oh my warrior, I've a lvl10 warrior sitting at Ranik I think. Survivor would be nice on her too, but mostly she is sitting there because I just don't play warrior well, or frequently.

I have got 3 characters I play very often. My main, my warrior Dinesh Ajith, was the first class I played in Guild Wars. In a new unfamiliar game, bashing someone with a hammer seems the easiest alternative. Now after finishing all 3 campaigns with my Warrior. I wanted to try out being a minion master, so I made a Necromancer, Doinchi Of The Dead. Tried out minion mastery, wasn't too fond of it, so I turned to SSing. Which is fun. Then, I succumbed to making a Assasin. There is something awesome about being a ninja. To deal with the "Assasins die easily" stereotype, I made sure I got Survivor on my sin. Which was pretty easy.

Problem is, ive got such a short attention span, my Sin is only 90% through NF and my Necro is only 20% Through NF. I wanna get em through all campaigns.

Lately I've been playing my warrior and el for the most part.

Linksys · Oct 23, 2007, 07:19 AM // 07:19

I just have one main character, a ranger. It's all I have time for. I have two submain characters, a monk and a mesmer.

The current system strongly encourages having just one 'main' character and provides close to no support to those who want to play more than one.

For over 2 years I've had 2 'main' characters (and some lesser ones). Now GW:EN's biggest failure - the HoM, forces me to abandon one of them and introduces even more mechanics rewarding doing absurd things and extreme repeated grind if I want the other character to keep up.

HoM should have obviously been account-based, so that any of your characters could contribute something to it. I would gladly fill up all the monuments if it didn't require doing it for just one character -- one is never going to actually use all the armor sets (13+ sets for one char, including ones that look terrible for that specific character) or all destroyer weapons possible... being able to spread them out among a few chars would be fantastic awesome. Same with titles - my 28 months old 'main' never had a chance to become a Survivor or Legendary defender of Ascalon - current system makes me have to reduce her to a mule, forget the thousands of hours spent and start a new one and repeat every damn thing again, if I want the momunemt among all the others. Absurd.

My mesmer is my main charcter in my heart (my first character,) but my necro became my main out of necessity. People would ask me for help and I'd offer on my mesmer and they'd give me the "Oh... do you have anything else...?" thing.

Mesmer discrimination ftl!

I have 2 accounts with one of each profession per account. I don't have a 'main' character per say because I'll play 3 or 4 (or more) characters a day. Depends on what I feel like or if I'm helping someone, what they need. Being in a small guild, having an array of characters to choose from when someone needs help is handy, besides that I simply enjoy playing all the professions. I don't really 'title' hunt on any particular character so I guess that adds to not focusing solely on one main char. I cap skills and progress titles on each a little at a time. *shrug*

Esan · Oct 23, 2007, 01:55 PM // 13:55

I have two mains named Main Droite and Main Gauche.
