Alts go live !

[Alitis]

This is a suggestion that probably cannot be implemented in the current world, aims to future worlds.

Everyone uses alts, alt for this, alt for that ...
Why not make it possible run all one's chars at the same time ? Instead of having to log out, or switch char, it would be more convenient to transfer the control over a char ingame, like, there could be a menu on the UI where people could choose witch char to currently control.
So if you have an alt planting a field, you could pop to the guy in the mine to mine another part of the cave wall.

Bottom line is that people would do more easily what they are already doing and their villages will look more lively with the person running their whole, or part of their "family" at the same time.
plus it would be increasing the chances for more drama due to unattended hearthlings !

I like it, many people use multiple accounts already to the same end but moving gear between characters on the same account is quite the hassle. It is currently incentivizing multiple accounts with only one character on each.

Use four accounts to run four characters simultaneously, then. Whether you use macros to control them or control them individually is up to you.

To note: I quit using the same account for alts due to the hassles of things like kinning, managing a village claim, and other things. Swapping characters on the same account is relatively quick, but this way I can set one guy to farming, and another guy to collecting what the farmer drops, or plowing the land behind, or doing some mining... anyway, point is made.

Yeah, idk about that.

[wonder-ass]

Yeah, idk about that.

people wont play the game like you intend them to play the game. this is one of the major flaws this game has tbh.

We don't need to actively encourage or institutionalize alt usage. If anything, we should be moving in the opposite direction. An MMORTS is an interesting kind of game and one I wouldn't necessarily mind making, but Haven isn't it.

On this note, I like the idea that came up in the last jorbstream to possibly tie credo scaling reduction to questing. but the reduction from dying absolutely needs to go.
