I suffer from Altitus - anyone else?

Alt-itis is what caused me to get into multiboxing in the first place. I found out that I could use my 70 shadowpriest to help my 60 warrior level and quest! After that, 5boxing came... crazy stuff. It does worry me though, because I have lost all interest in end-game raiding (mostly the harsh schedule that it presents). The truly scary part is that I'm now 70 on my shaman team, I have no interest in leveling ANOTHER group of 5, and I wonder if PVP is enough to keep me interested in the game. If not, then I may just drop the game in a month... we shall see.

Leveling is 90% of the fun for me.

Going to check out Age of Conan when it comes out on the 20th Gallo?

I'm an altaholic too! :(

The worst part now is the various states of my macros, as I get more experienced in writing them my older ones need updating, lol.

On the upside though, playing alts has given me a broader insight to other classes. My first toon was a lock and my second a priest. I love raiding on my holy priest. I enjoy my lock but playing priest can get intense!

I honestly don't think I'll ever get tired of leveling new characters - I've been playing since Beta, and it hasn't happened yet, don't see why it will any time soon.

I'm enjoying questing again, running two boxes has renewed my interest in the game. I'm just burned out on the post-70 game, in every way.

I've never leveled a Horde character past level 7, so I have half of the game, quest wise, to play. I'm now looking into doing just that.

I'm fine with 2 boxes, for now. My fuzzy goal for the future is to get one toon of each class to 60. It was get two of each to 60 last month. LOL. It's cool.

I'm finding that by quitting the rat race that is the post-70 game (gotta get gear gotta get rep gotta get honor), my addiction is rapidly fading. I still enjoy the game, but that nagging sense that I'm missing out if I don't play is gone, and I'm fine with that. I don't care if it takes a year to get a toon to 60, I'm in no rush. I don't care that my guild bank is at 1200, and has been for 2 months. I'm taking more time to slow down, and explore again, and relax. If I log on and fish for an hour, it's fine. :)

I have a lot of alts now, and I love it. :) Choices are GOOD things.

My distaste towards leveling in general (after the first time) has prevented me from developping altitus.

Sounds horrible, if you ask me. xP

I'm not going to jump on that until it has seen some action first. I was playing SWG from day 1, and it turned out to be a flub. I would like to see if the game does well in reviews and such before I jump in.

Theres also the wife factor. End game for any MMO requires long stretches of time for raiding and such where you cannot really just "jump off" if something comes up. My wife hates that. She just doesn't understand video games, and can't understand how I could play for 2 hours and think that it wasn't enough. C'est la vie no? Multiboxing has given me a good way to only play in small increments because other people aren't being held up if I ninja log.

So, I'm going to play my shammies at lvl 70 for awhile and see how much I enjoy PVP. If its not the cats pajamas, then I might move to console gaming (for which I don't have a single nextgen console because I've been too addicted to WoW for 2 years).

I had easily that many in D2:LOD. Of course, many of them were mules, but hey, I never dropped anything unique and find it hard to shard old epics in WoW for much the same hoarders reasons.

Oh god, don't get me started on D2. Had two accounts filled with characters, multiple sorcies just for different builds, multiple necros, a sorc with loads of MF, couple druids, couple assins. Had loads of unique's. The accounts had different cd keys so I would use d2loader to run two instances so I could safely trade items to mule accounts. In 3 hours I could powerlevel a character to 80. I remember doing nonstop baal runs.

Then a few months later I nostagically logged into my account to find all my characters had expired. :cursing:

Yeah, somewhere around my 100th game of AV at lvl 70 I start to get altitis -- or 2nd game of WSG.

I think I might start a hunter or warlock group as a side project very soon.

its funny that d2 came up . Thats where I first started to mutibox. well at least have many accounts logged in to grp with . I lvled so many killing the cow king and the other cows. but yes You know when you have it bad that you max out accounts for max chars (50) then have to get new accounts. My problem is char limit on accounts , used to be you could have as many as you wanted accross servers now its 50. Only 10 per server sucks also. with 7 accounts I have over 250 toons. most are 35-70, rest are x9 for twiks. I guess I need a new support group. With pvp servers normal ones, rp , its just toooo much to do ;(
