    Well I was but made a alt or 2 but hardly play on them really just use them to re-watch the EP story line been a while since I did the game and forgot about the whole Mistress Vox story in EP so figured why not make a new character and watch it again.

    Two people play on my account, but I only have 1 character at the moment. I'm not going to vote because I want to have an alt eventually and enjoy the quests for the other factions.

    I'm playing 5 characters at the same time zone by zone. All AD faction.

    Sorc, DK, NB, 2 Templars different builds.

    While it's slow leveling it's good to see each class perform.

    Also due to RL i can only play on weekends.

    I've only got 1 character at the moment. Not because leveling alts sucks but because I want to get him to max level before I start another character and have all those juicy champion points to use on them. :D Currently sitting at Vr2, almost 3. Been playing just a hair over a month. :D

    1 "Main" VR14 that I play every day. 3 other VR "Alts" that I jump on and do occasional Pledges.

    Waiting for the Patch that increases XP to finish leveling them. Then I'll have 4 "Mains". :)

    One and only one for me. Game doesn't endear itself enough to me for alts. If something happened and I had to level another , i'd just stop playing.

    I have 16 characters, 8 on each Xbox server. They are in different alliances and different classes. I love making characters but find some don't look right in the real game world so drop and rebuild. None are very high level so I just experiment with classes and skills. I'm all about the journey and exploring not the battles or achieving godhood. I didn't even consider myself really beginning until console since my PC was below minimum requirements.

    That's a lot, would you focus on one for high level?

    I have 4 mains, one for each class. I have 4 mules, two of which I just decided to start leveling. On a side note, it's kind of cool to ride around on a near fully maxed horse at L8 as I have been feeding this characters horses for more than a year now.

    I could use a couple more slots. I may have to retire on of my mules.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    If I can assume this poll is somewhat accurate and that many like to only have a single character. I actually made a thread in the Character/Class section of the Forums about a possibility of having a way to switch class in-game. You can check it out here.

    I have one character not because i don't want level an alt but because I'm too invested in my main

    ^^This. I've taken my main through three faction's storylines and countless quests, grinds, etc. No way am I doing that again just to play a different class in a different faction. It took me over a year of work that I'm NOT going to repeat.

    Yes, I am already deciding that I am just a magic user no matter what. I am tempted to say I am a slow learner but I think the truth is more that it takes me some time to gain confidence in my ability to play. I am an old gamer who played her first real RPG just 8 years ago and ESO is my first MMO. I was hooked by Morrowind but I figured out what I was doing pretty much in a vacuum. It took me 2 years before I had the confidence to face a legendary dragon at Master in Skyrim.

    One reason I have been doing different alliances was just to get a taste of each since I was only AD on the PC. I also wanted to see how quests were different depending on when I did them. I think that backfired on me though since they now scale to my level which is not always up to the challenge. Still, I have fun and that's what's important, right?

    I have all 8 slots filled. 5 are mules, and only mules. 2 are alts I almost never play, both I stopped leveling in lvl 20's or so.

    I really only play my one VR14 main.

    LVLing alt doesnt suck up too much time. It sucks up just exactly the same amount of time as it took for your main to lvl up.

    I beg to differ... While playing my "main" (now VR6), I'm doing every possible quest (reading or listening to them), delve, dolmen, boss, some dungeons in duo with my brother and whatever. I have more than 100 hours in, and I still have one alliance and a half to do, so I doubt I'll hit VR14 before I have 150 hours played.

    As a measure of comparaison, on my last "alt", I did hit VR14 in less than 40 hours of mundane grinding. Slower than some, as I had no experience potions, but it was okay.

    Even if you were to do every quest again, you could simply skip the dialogue, and you would at least know how to play and what to do to be a bit more effective.

    But yeah, a lot of characters for me, mostly to try every possible build (at least one stamina and one magicka of each class), but I have to say that I'll do every quest only once. It's fun to do them once, but otherwise, it's a complete time sink when you can easily see that another alternative, while boring, is way more effective.
