I suffer from Altitus - anyone else?

[d0z3rr]

And in the multi-boxing world, Altitus is devastating. In case you don't know, Altitus is when you can never stick with one character, and constantly make and play new alts.

I'm amazed I even got my first multibox group to 60. I now made a new group which is pve focused, they are level 17 now. But everyday I read the forums and hear about the 4 mages that owned pvp, or the new melee team that is incredibly fun and actually doable.

Now I want to make 2xwarrior, 2xrogue, and 1xshaman. But really want to try 1xpally and 4xmage too! Does it ever end?! Anyone else have this problem? I find myself playing a group until they're out of rested experience, so then I have justification to play another group so the other ones can get more rest again. It's terrible!

And with WoTLK around the corner, I really need to decide on what group to get to 70.

I've literally lost count of the number of characters I've started now. Only 6 have ever reached max-level.

Hi, I'm OzPhoenix, and I'm an ALTaholic.

PS: 2 of those 6 were Hunters (my favourite) and I have two or three times now come so close to starting an All-hunter 5-box team...lol.

Technically it's not a bad thing...it's practically all I did in CoH(Oh shit I need to make a Freakazoid alt!...oh damn I can make a TFC Engineer!...wow I made a Terra/Cyan/Sabin lookalike!(all 3 not just one...lol)...LOL I MADE AN XBOX CHAR AND MADE IT FULL-HEIGHT/WEIGHT, XBOX IS HUEG LOLOL(I did do this sadly; it was funny at the time!)...and that's barely the tip of the alt iceberg...I've got tons on WoW too, if it's what you enjoy go for it ;p Play alts but don't abandon the other chars, try to pick one to play between alt nic-fits so it levels over time with Rest exp :p

I'll go in suit with Phoenix on this one...

Hi, I'm Khazrael... and I'm an altaholic /sob

I suffer from this as well, and honestly I think multi-boxing has only made it worse. While at the moment I only have two teams and have been pretty good sticking to my shams, I'm absolutely itching to try so many group combinations, I can hardly wait. I'm hoping to get to 70 so I can get some major cash flow going from dailies before I get to that point though. We'll see what happens.

What to try next, 5 druids? 4 locks and a priest? no, a lock and 4 priests! Oh, what about a melee group of feral druids and warriors... ohh no I know how abo.....<infinity>

[OzPhoenix]

Fortunately I've got my 70 Hunter feeding my Shammies his dailies gold. Main Shaman has 2300g on him at level 23. But I know exacttttytlllllyyyy what you mean.

My team combos I wanna try:

Blood Elf Team: Paladin, Priest, Mage, Mage, Warlock. I gave in to temptation and made them already.
5 Hunters.......ssooooooooooo wanna try this.
5 Druids (for stealth runs).
5 Warlocks.
5 Paladins....yes, 5 Paladins...lol.

There's also the Twink-itus, where you level up to x9 level and twink the crap out of them.

Also, did you know you're only allowed to create a max of 50 characters per account.

Meaning if you created 50 character in 5 servers, you can't make 51st character on a 6th server.

And there's the Level-itus.

Account 1: 70 Pally, 70 Rogue, 70 Shaman, 60 Mage, 39 Rogue, 39 Hunter, 29 Warlock, 20 Hunter, 14 Hunter
Account 2: 70 Priest, 70 Shaman, 60 Mage, 36 Paladin, 32 Druid, 29 Mage, 29 Warlock, 16 Hunter, 14 Rogue, 10 Warlock
Account 3: 70 Paladin, 39 Shaman, 20 Mage, 18 Druid, 17 Warlock
Account 4: 70 Warrior, 70 Shaman

I likewise have a tragic number of characters in the 60-69 range.

I certainly hope 250 characters is enough for me, otherwise I need to get myself a second job and quit playing wow.

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.

I hear ya, I get sentimental with stuff. I don't like to get rid of my old item sets (like the tier 0 and shit from pre-bc). But space always ends up becoming such an issue.
