This is a subject that I think I have come upon in every single RP community that I've been a part of to date.. And I am afraid that I simply do not understand the anxiety surrounding it.
In regards to RP, I never have more than 2 active characters, but that certainly doesn't prevent me from creating alt upon alt upon alt upon alt.
For me it is just as much to experience what the game has to offer besides the RP that my "main" partakes in, as it is an outlet for various character concepts that I've come up with on various occasions.
I thoroughly enjoy having a variety of characters to pick and choose from, although I still do have a tendency to delete and recreate certain characters when the time where I want to RP them arrives..
In fact my altitis/altoholism/alt-(insert medical sounding suffix here) often serves as my primary way of experience the game, as those characters that I RP with tend to get stuck at a certain level every now and again, when part of an over-arcing story.. Which means that I end up spending more time playing on my various alts.
Huzzah for Alts!

There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as moral indignation, which permits envy or to be acted out under the guise of virtue. - Erich Fromm
