Is there shared housing between my chars/storage?Follow

Unfortunately, SE believes that giving you the ability to move things between your own characters helps RMT, so you can't do that.

As to your other question, there currently isn't housing for individual players, only for free companies. That being said, if all your characters are in the same free company, they absolutely have access to the FC house.

yes I can understand that the gathering is a nuisance if all your chars can do it, I always found it annoying in other games. But to actually produce the stuff, like for instance clothes that I anyhow have to make for quests and then basically have to scrap or sell for 1 gil is kind of silly, when I have another char that badly needs it.

Also, if I can only make stuff for myself or for trading on ah I am not really interested to go through all that trouble.So that kind of scratches crafting which usually is one of my main joys in a game.(especially for late levels, when you can make really good sets etc. but which are anyway limited in production due to mats being hard to come by). To be able to make it for two of my other chars would be a challenge, whereas to merely make it for money does not really appeal. To play a game just to make heaps of money is too much like life itself, I am playing for escapism, joy and entertainment, not to struggle along like in real life lol

I guess I can always put stuff on ah for overpriced and let my other char buy it.

Nope it works, it works very well.

Thanks, I needed that

You don't have to delete alts in WoW. I think when I last calculated you could have a character for every spec of every class and still not hit the limit. Also, there are RP servers if that's what you're into.

Free Company chests are great for shuffling stuff between characters as well.

I use multiple characters myself, and I'd like say using just one character isn't the only way to have fun.

There are distinct advantages to using more than one, especially when it comes time to hitting caps for the day or for the week. But you also get a chance to customize your characters towards single goals without cluttering your inventory with the needs of every possible class, combat or otherwise. If you'd rather level relying on the bonuses and rewards of the main story and other quests, multiple characters give you that chance. Plus if you're so inclined, you can keep more retainers out working the fields for you than just on a single character.

I have 4 characters, each themed to a single role (ranged, caster, tank, and melee). The only annoying part is leveling classes for cross-class abilities (since that's covering the same ground across your characters), but you can level those up so quickly (since you're not going to 50 with them), so it's not much of a burden.

I don't play every day, and I don't participate in hardcore endgame. Maybe if you were interested in that sort of thing, you'd stick to one character to maximize it to the fullest. But since that isn't my goal, I'm happier to enjoy the casual parts of the game, and play them out with different characters.

Red Mages.

I have several characters in every mmorpg. The reason is that usually every class plays the game slightly differently, some games even have different paths they follow, so it is like playing a whole new area.

So I do not get all stuck on one character, I play one for say five levels, then I play another one for five levels. Usually I have a character in every class and level them all to the max. That gives me a lot more longevity for each game whilst I enjoy it all of the time. And I am attached to each one of them, remembering when say crafting something that so and so of my little family needs it as well etc.

I realize this game is different to other mmo's and I think if I had to level all the crafting with just one character I would go nuts just doing too much crafting and gathering and it would become boring. If crafting is spread out amongst my chars then each does a little crafting, like 20% and the remainder storyline/quests. If one char had to do crafting for all crafting types and gathering, I would have to spend like a few days just crafting each skill to a few levels up - boring.

But to each his own I suppose.

I think the ability to replay the game suffers from the lack of questing and lore available. If SE beefed up that area I could see people wanting to level more than one character, but what they have currently isn't enough to go through it again. I know there are some people who would enjoy it, but I think most people see it as more trouble than it's worth.

It just seems that other games have more options when it comes to keeping leveling from being monotonous. You could grind out FATEs in different areas than you did the first time around, but the quests are the same. Other games have more quests than you need to level to cap so you end up getting more story and lore if you run through the areas you didn't hit the first time through.

Thats only 2 expert roulette per day. If thats all you did you would cap by the end of the week for only 30-60 minutes of playing. That seems reasonable. And casual friendly too.
