RE: A question for long time RPers - Ritsu - 08-04-2016
Personally, I like my alts. I was name changing my second character a lot - but it got to the point it was expensive >.>;;
My main will always remain as she is the half of the head to my FC. The Wandering Tonberry is "owned" by a married couple. So unless my partner and I decided to go a different route, she will remain as is.
My first alt came about as I had two people interesting in doing the bonding. I talked it over with them, decided Ritsu suited Flynt best. But I agreed to make a character for my IRL partner. First I made Mokuren, which ended up not working out. Then I made Chidori, which has so far worked out for the most part. Chidori I also consider my main as I put in a lot of work for her. I still liked Mokuren, so I ended up making her as well. And then I have a villain character I pull out as needed. I kind of have one random one. Still on the fence what to do with her. I like the concept, she already has a 60 under her belt.
Anyways. Either route you choose should work, doing something fresh I find helps. The only thing I have seen with the name changing is it can get kind of confusing (and for some addicting). I have one friend that would do it every few months so it was really hard to do anything long term with them because you never know what whim might strike them and they change. Currently they are stuck to a degree since they told me if they change again within a year I get 5 mil :3 But we also worked out something where it is the same character, but she changes from time to time.

I don't. I actually have 8 characters on Balmung at this point in time, and most of them with a backstory.
This game's chat system essentially makes it fucking impossible (LSes not shared between characters, 128 characters only in a LS, etc.) to do so unless I plan everything in advance and I literally am not good at that kind of plan. So I just keep at it on Kell.
