Pros and Cons of playing more than one Character?

[Daemon Gildas]

Part of me is thinking about starting a whole new character, but then I also wonder if there are reasons to dedicate to a single character? Right now, I'm playing a lvl 25 male Duman Braver, and so far, I'm really enjoying him. At the same time, though, I quite like the idea of playing around as a Force, and I thought about creating a Female character to fill the role (not sure what race I'd make her, probably Nueman or Cast).

Would any of you guys mind going over some of the Pros and Cons of having a multiple characters, versus playing only one? I'm just interested in having more of a "big picture", to make sure I'm not overlooking anything, especially considering I'm still quite new to the game. Thanks!

Pros - Able to do multiple Dark Falz runs if you're quick enough. More skill tree reset passes when they are given out. Allows you to experiment with more builds. Puts extra costumes to use.

Cons - Takes time away from your main, requires more money. Purchased AC items like Mags are still character locked. Storage space is per-ship, so you might end up with more junk. (If you're like me and hoard things)

- more TA slaves, DF runs.

Pros - More Falz, More Resets, like DJ said.

Cons - Second character

+ More TACOs to get more money (the two character slots we get for free would allow you to get over a mil each day).

+ If you get bored of your current character's method of killing, you can just re-login to start Smashing/Shooting/Nuking things (or whatever class suits your fancy, that day), without having to respec & regear your primary character completely.

+ Assuming you have a sense of imagination (& the meseta to make it happen), you can play a completely different character that interests you, without having to run to the MakeOver shop everytime (of which, some options would cost you real money to edit anyway).



- More characters means more items you will have. 200 item slots for the basic Storage really does not cut it for all the stuff you may or may not want to keep (nevermind many of the Client Order items you will need to hold onto for quick EXP gains). For some players, the additional 300 Premium Slots isn't enough either.

- More characters means more hours needed to be put into the game (though if you're playing an MMO, you should already know & be prepared for the long grind anyway).

- Customization item Tickets (like hairstyles, accessories, etc...) are character locked (with the exception of Lobby Actions). Some are cheap, many are horrendously overpriced. Safe bet to say you will want the the expensive ones at some point (at which point, their already stupid high prices will be even higher cuz you waited too long).

So I bought a mag on my main my alt wouldn't be able to use it.. even on the same ship?

sadly not

Multiple Characters is the free-to-play way of having different mags, pretty much. Main character would have a Braver Mag, and your alt would have a Force/Techer mag

Also client orders and emergency quests, but I'm too lazy to do that on multiple characters

Can you get multiple extreme passes per day with multiple characters, or is that tied to account?

Account-bound.
