RE: I Have Made A Terrible Mistake: When to Just Reroll - Sigyn Shieldbreaker - 10-01-2013

I can speak as one who has rerolled... literally... dozens upon dozens of times.

In fact, in WoW I rerolled my hunter after reaching level forty about ten times alone. "Oh, I don't like this name." "Oh, poo, this face is horrible." "Hang on a second... there's a lighter green eye color on this other face?"

The only thing that finally slowed me down was the barbershop and even then I had a tendency to reroll. I would get to something like 70 and start from scratch-- Got me a good amount of gold from doing it but otherwise it was a pain in the posterior. I look at Siobhain now and I think I should've just freaking made her short because every other female Roe like a foot taller than her anyway. Why did I make her so muscular? I gave her man-hips! I should've just given her long hair and been done with it.

I'm going to hold out two more weeks for Fantasia to fix all these problems ICly and OOCly (sorry but Sio's gonna get shorter OOCly and buy a magical hair serum that works a little too well ICly) but it doesn't fix the common question I get in PMs.

"Why the Sea Wolf name?" Admittedly, there's no reason a Hellsguard can't have a full, traditional Roegadyn name-- it's just that the majority of them opt not to based on their culture. I likely won't reroll just to fix my name as then I'll be sitting on a Fantasia I may never use and I've gotten a lot of fancy stuff I don't feel like farming again-- but if I had more time like I used to I would.

For me? Personally? If I don't like a character, I have to reroll. There's no question about it; I have to. Rinh originally looked different, with a different surname, but it got under my skin and I started over despite having most of my friends levelling way past me in the open beta. Same with alts. If I'm not feeling it, nope, they're gone. T'yareth is the only one to stick around after 4 or 5 alts and even she's been made over with fantasia.

So if you're not happy and it really gets to you, just start over. Level 50 isn't that far away.

I am thinking about rerolling already.  I have only had this first RP character for several hours, and she is only level 6 or 7 at the most.  I love everything about her design and character so far, I just regret not putting her in the Balmung server.  I refreshed the worlds a few times when creating my character, and when Gilgamesh finally became available, I jumped at the chance.  But I feel like I won't have as many RP opportunities in Gilgamesh as I can have in Balmung.  So I will probably reroll my poor Lorielle so that I can try to get her into Balmung xP

There's no reason not to maintain characters on both servers. Even with an entry level account you can have a total of 8 characters, one per server. I'd advocate trying both out, but I wouldn't let the fact that Balmung appears more populous sway your opinion. You really can't go wrong between the two.

THEN AGAIN I am on Balmung. As if that weren't reason enough, right? Wink
I actually maintain characters on Balmung, Gilgamesh, and Odin and play them all relatively equally.

Ahaha, you don't have to talk to me about re-rolling in WoW. I've trashed things that are level 88 because "Nah, I'm bored with this character concept." But I've DONE all the WoW content before. It is done. It is completed, 100%. I can run a new character 1-90 in less than a week if I so chose, and I have, with the same sort of auto-pilot function I use to drive to the sandwich shop. I just sorta blink and it's done :b

I've only ever purchased one race change, because the character himself had some rare, difficult to obtain items. This was a decision I almost immediately regretted and every time I log onto him think "That was stupid. I could have just made a different one."

 Lmao. I leveled a Night Elf rogue to 90... complete with full skinning and LWing (which is a biotch.)

 Then I decided that I didn't want to RP on the Alliance side anymore.

 Leveled a Belf Rogue. 

 I got that 1-cap pretty decently too, I think.

No, there is just two different kinds of payment plans. One is 12.99 for one character per server and the other is 14.99 for 8 characters per server Smile

Yeah, I was having a hard time with my raiding guild on Illidan, so I kinda gave them all a virtual bird and stormed off to an RP server to play Alliance just to spite them. I bum-rushed a Worgen Druid to level 90, maxed Inscription, and RP'd him as a letter-carrier. Then after like, a week I realized I just couldn't play Alliance side. I just couldn't get over my constant urge to kill everything I saw... So, two weeks of my life just pfft, out the door... which is basically how much time I've invested into FF14 so far.

Oh, are you able to have a character of the same name in two different servers? O_o if so, I might have to do that.  I figured there was some sort of naming restriction if a name was already being used xD

Also, the $14.99 plan gets discounted the longer you sub for. If you go for the 6 month option, it's only $12.99 per month (and you get all the vet rewards up front).

Nope! Names are specific only to one server. Smile

RE: I Have Made A Terrible Mistake: When to Just Reroll - TheLastCandle - 10-02-2013

I feel your pain, but my advice is to just tough it out. Like appearance changes, a name change service will be in eventually, if you don't mind paying for it. 

I'm in the same boat, myself. I've had the surname "Anduin" since 1.0, but I've gradually gotten tired of people asking if I was inspired by the Anduin in Warcraft. I wasn't - the name predates Warcraft by quite a bit. So I plan to change its spelling to Andouinne as soon as I can.
