    A bunch. I'm a pretty serious altaholic.

    Same, I "raise" all 8 in parallel - keeping them just a few levels apart, so that some stuff can be "inherited" by the younger ones. I also distribute found traits, one is reseaching it, and when done, she is crafting 7 level 1 versions with this trait for the others to research it as well. So they do keep up with trait research as well about at the same pace. Will take me ages to get them up to 50, but well, I would as well buy more character slots if there would be an option in the crown store. So yes, I am a serious altoholic, despite that I do not have a lot ot time to actually play the game - but well.

    Leveling 1 to get most of the crafting traits and cp so my second can reap the benefits on gear and weapons, the only down fall is my lack of bank space.

    One. I am still leveling her since she is vet 8 (IK VR will go away but the higher she gets the more CP I will get). My other char that I have actually played more than 5 mins on is a crafter. Then the rest are randoms I just made for reasons.

    I started my first character one day, and made another 7 chars next day, just to play with different spieces, abilities and builds. I was levelling most of them all for some time, then stopped and keep working on 1 main and 2 others.
    Adding new riding skills to all characters is the first thing I do after logging to game every day. I hope it will give me a really nice skills in the future, when I return to those forgotten characters. Ah and setting new researches from time to time even on those forgotten ones...

    Tried two Bosmer characters, one werewolf, one vampire in one faction. Got to lvl 26 on vamp. Quit to try another faction and levelled an Argonian restoration vampire in Daggerfall to vet 1. Ebonheart Pact story seemed higgledy so tried an Aldmeri Dominion High elf sorceror. Need more mats for her as she will be woodworking. Stopped altogether to play ES Skyrim instead. I love freedom of play too much.

    I 'started' a whole bunch of toons right away, using up all 8 slots. I pick one character I'm having the most fun on, and focus on levelling it to max. However I get bored of playing the same thing all the time, so I'm always doing stuff on my other characters too.

    I leveled a bunch and quit. Then I came back a couple months ago and deleted everything to start fresh with a Templar.

    Do you regret this? I have considered it as well.

    Mostly concentrated on one at a time. However I did shelve my kitty Stam sorc when soft caps were removed, but eventually levelled him up.

    Started with one and levelled up to V5 when I started a couple of others. Then I went back to main, levelled to V16 and then rolled out the rest to fill all slots.

    All my alts are lvl 10 aprox. 2 are just mules and holding goods, 5 are doing writs in Windhelm and main is maintaining order :)

    When I got the game I made 8 characters, then because there was no option to create more, I deleted some and made some more...

    I got all of them to level 6 almost instantly, then I slowly started to play one character at a time...

    After a month or so I moved over to the EU servers which had most of the people from my country.

    So then I started over and did it all again, created 8 characters, leveled them up to 5 or so, then leveled a few up to 12, then I started playing my DK where as on the NA servers my main was sorc.

    I stopped playing shortly after that ( with a freshly bought 3month sub ) due to work.

    I didn't play again until 2015 when the subs fell, played for a month or so and then my pc broke, after it got fixed I started this game again on 19 Dec 2015. Going strong and then I had a lvl 26 or so DK, lvl 17 sorc and a bunch of lvl 15's I realised that I have owned the game since beta with no VR chars and that needed to change so I made my DK VR immediately, then as soon as he hit VR8 or so I started on my Sorc, took me 8 days to get him to VR16 from where I was (fastest I have ever been), then I got my DK to 16 just a few days later...

    Currently I play on both of those and when I get time I will play my NB or Templar a little ( they will both be VR16 before DB ) and all my alts will be VR1 ( currently deciding whether to keep my AD & EP alts or not )




    Moral of the story is I should be allowed to have char slots so I don't delete chars and start over x100 times or I would have had a VR char in 2014...

    I probably deleted 60 chars easily (ranging between level 5 and level 12).

    I started off as EP but was dragged to the DC side by a friend. I am currently rerolling two characters on the faction where my heart belongs. :D
    I made the mistake at the beginning to try levelling several characters at the same time which just doesn't work out if you want to get the hang of a class especially if you're new. So my Derpgonian Templar Healer was the first character I got to max level. The others followed pretty fast after a while. Now I am at five V16 chars. :)

    I started with one (EP NB), then a few weeks later decided to make an AD sorc, but parked her shortly after when I decided to focus on my main. Then a few months in, made an EP sorc. Then about a month or so after made my EP templar (to be my guildie's twin as a prank to the guild who kept confusing us on TS). Then some time after that (I think I already had my main at v14 by then), made an AD DK. Then decided I also wanted a DK in EP so I'd have one of each class. Then I made a DK in DC to hold my green fish, but decided shortly after that I'd rather have him be a nightblade so I rerolled him (that was the only character I ever deleted).

    to this day I keep switching between my alts I have too many and when I play (normally 1-2 hrs or so) I spend most of my time between 1-2 chars trying to level them up to see what I like the most. only 1 has interested me enough to get to v16 so far but my sorc seems very fun. I rather enjoy the aoe and survivability of the sorc. using my pet to heal me and tank for me while I do a lot of aoe and single target damage. I use 1 resto skill(healing springs) and with that and my pet that heals me I have not needed help grinding around wrothgar by myself for levels. which I think is pretty impressive for a lvl 22 char. im no sure my Templar healer that I main as could have the same results as efficiently as my sorc. haha alts are fun :)

    One, though I leveled alts in crafting. I just had them collect skyshards until they hit level 6 and needed soul gems to resurrect. My provisioner and alchemist are level 6. My main is 50 in all crafting, but I only use him for gear crafting (though I deleted my enchanting alt and the replacement is now only at 46 enchating).

    When I finished Cadwell's Gold, I was v10 and I ended my sub. I came back for TU, but there wasn't anything I really wanted to do with my main. I would do some PvP dailies to get XP/CP, but I ended up leveling alts of other classes to try them out. I also needed to play my gear deconstructor because I needed a lot of skill points to manage that for all 3 types of gear crafting.

    I also have been doing horseriding for all alts since I returned for TU. I deleted 2 the last few weeks and replaced them with 2 new alts to give me 2 of each class. 4 characters are max horseriding, 2 are finishing up stamina, and 2 are on their first stat (carrying capacity since I do mostly PvE, though the slowness is painful)

    Seems wise to do in parallel.

    I do a lot of gear inheriting, but it is painful with the large level gaps I have. I waste a lot of bank space. It would be nice if the gaps were at most 20 levels. I recently sold a lot of drop sets in guild store since they didn't look like sets that I would ever need. I could probably just sell all the sets and craft gear when needed, but I guess I'm a bit of a hoarder. I'm also lazy about crafting.

    I still have 2 stamina characters under level 10. I have 2 magicka around 15. One magicka character is waiting for the other to outlevel their warlock set. While drop gear is sufficient for leveling, I like having the sets when I do group dungeons, especially now that the grouping tool scales to v16. I'll probably try to get the 2 magicka characters to 50 before I level the stam sorc and stamplar.

    I currently have 2 mains, a thief (fun) and healer (main crafter) that I am leveling simultaneously. I also have a sorc and a tank that I am upgrading my horses on so when I play them I am not moving at the speed of a snail. Other than that I have 2 mules I hold all my extra crafting stuff on, and will make a couple more when needed.

    Just curious! When you were new, did you level one character to 50 first, or did you level a bunch side by side? :)

    I usually just played one, but I did create 8 characters and woke up every morning to train their horses.

    Also, 3 or 4 of the characters I created i played just enough to put points into crafting, and made them crafters.

    One first :) Probably got my main to about VR5 before I started levelling my alts a little. I don't think I'm going to level them much further though, so far all I've done with them is make each have the pack leader morph for their werewolf skill lines. Need to do that with my khajiit next. Once there they probably will remain at that level for a very long time.
