I think FFXIV has been one of the few MMOs that has quelled my desire for alts for the more... "tangible" reasons - filling party holes, trying out classes, and so on - due to the whole interchangeable class-through-weapon approach. In WoW alone, I had a NElf Hunter, Gnome Warrior (shortly replaced by a Gnome DK when they came out - named him "Shortlived," regret nothing), a Troll Priest that I desperately wanted to see rolling around in the goblin go-karts, and several other lower-level creations to see the starting zones and get a feel for the classes.
As such, I need to convince myself more to make alts here - and the whole roleplay angle is definitely working for me. I only have two characters at the moment - my "main" on a non-RP server and Chacha here - but I get an odd feeling that it's going to balloon as more ideas come to me that I want to try and play with. Even Cenric up there is becoming more solidified in my mind...
"His eyes are a dull, flat gray and his face noticeably bereft of scars. Scars meant stories, stories meant questions, and Flatfoot hated questions."
At this rate, I may have a low-level Midlander Pugilist making his appearance in Ul'dah in the very near future.
