I'm an alt-aholic. I run with several different classes and characters in every game I've played, until I settle on 2-3 I love.
Rp wise, if a char's story dies, or they die, or I just lose interest, I shop some alts til one of them tells me an interesting story ^^
I have never run into any pushback on this. I have seen other people, who have 5-8 alts, be told that maybe they should focus on fewer chars, but that is usually after they complain about leveling too slowly.
Anyway, I think its a matter of balance. Don't take on more than you can handle. For me that magic number seems to be 3. Anything beyond that seem like throwawy chars, whom I only use when I'm bored. Which is fine, but don't expect to be able to build solid rp stories on a char you only log on once a month, or five minutes here and there.
Sticking with just one char. Might make you bored to the point of not enjoying playing, which is bad.
Having too many chars may result in your time being far too scattered for others to enjoy rping with you, unless its very light, casual rp.
So find a happy medium.
