Hello world, i need some advice.

Some people do it but I believe the majority of it was curbed with the Ql system.

I've found a need for more alts on the new map than I ever had on the old map, essentially because of the quality system.

those are porting alts, i assume. we're talking about ind/nature alts

These alts do two things
- have hearths near resources
- join villages, so I have access to the village even if no true members are on (we need a way to simply grant permission for non-members to e.g. use a crossroad without leaving clues).

As sabinati said. Porting alts. Which I believe is fair to say is true. THe travel system curbed it a bit but that' rather because it's a bit easier for me to run out, hearht, and travel a few chests back then it is to hearth and alt and stuff it with enough DDD's & alcohol to make the process even viable.

I still have my two fully fleshed out industry and nature characters, plus one or two rather more fleshed out homesteading alts. I'm sure a number of people also have black skills alts, a specialization of its own.

Frankly, I wish I didn't need alts to work around these various encouragements of trade and specialization. But it generally takes me two RL days to accomplish any trade, and there's always stuff I cannot find, so I don't consider it reasonable to rely on trade, except for buy-it-once tools.

Also, I find feeding alts up to a useful level pretty easy - and as a side effect, they get psyche - a lot faster than I can get psyche on my main char. (I feed them RoB's, not DDDs.)
