My list:

Xidus
Rezne
Luben
Shuraki
Isaru
Huel
Lumani

Active Characters:

Luben
Nilachi

How true.  In any event.  I find that most people keep their alts just as that. alternatives.  The characters themselves are not linked in any way, just player behind them.  Not everyone is the greatest of Rpers and can differenciate between alts if they know its the same person behind them.  This is why I believe you won't find many people going around saying I play this, this, and this.  The general idea is treat each character as the were played by someone unique.  This prevents treating one character like another just becuase the player behind them are the same.  Less headache in the long run I would think.

I have no alts.  I don't even have a character I play in game.  I just post on the forums, that's all I do it is.

Is this irony or is there one lie per sentence?

I have only one alt and those that know me well enough know who he is.
I tried making my alt common knowledge but it blurs the line between IC and OOC as some people think that
because they know one then they know the other so they never really meet IC.

what i would say is already been said, if i one day got the idea to create an evil alt, maybe people would treat him to well as is if he were me, but no what am i saying, of course they won't, everyone hates me anyway lol

 ;D I thought  this thread to be very amusing when I saw this posted from DaveG .....

Ok then, if you're Xidus would you please explain this report?...

But then, along came a Zanzibar and made this post ....  ::)

 :lol: Heh ... anyway all funny aside, I don't think it is a good idea to post your alts. They tend to not be seen as "character" they are but as the face behind the player. This then leads to OOC conversation, or lack of roleplay. My question is, why would you want to know? What could you possible gain from knowing who has what character? Basically, what's the point? [/b]
   I've been outside, it's overrated and the graphics suck!

My only alternative is "Cobaia" which in my language means "Guinea Pig". He's my texture testing character. Other than That I only have my main character, Sekmeth :)

Spotting you!

Only one?

If only you grew up?

It also puts a flag on your character, marking it for harassment by the alts of people who have OOC grievances.  I've met plenty of "new" characters who right off the bat had a livid distaste for me without any prior contact.  Some of them have been misled by certain individuals and took it at face value, while others are clearly alts.  Whatever the case is, after the next wipe I won't be playing any of my public characters.  If you have IC grievances, they should stay IC and stay with the character who has them - however the grievances people have been acting on are OOC, and they've been using alts to act on them without fear of personal consequences.

It`s not the name that tells the player behind the char, it`s the behaviour.
The worst are those who can`t change it while using another char.

[edit] i don`t really believe that you can stay unrecognized for long after the wipe, Zanzibar [/edit]
