3 - I pay for 1 on 3 month plan, 2 on monthly (1 of which only got changed from silver in February this year) All 3 have TBL 3 free accounts - needed more clerics for imbuing! Char max level is 35 ish daughter has 1 account not sure if its is silver or FTP, just trying to get her back into playing other half has 1 account, only plays 1 char on it, unlike me he isn't interested in alts! He's played for 20 years!
4 accounts all access + TBL 2 accounts that were all access up to EoK but now silver 1 free mule account I would say most people who have been playing for a long time have more than 1 account. Even those I know that don't enjoy boxing usually have a minimum of 2 accounts even if the secondary account is only for buffs, tradeskills or ports.
Whulf you dident tell us how many acounts you have. Dont worrie we are all addicts. You dont get to comment without showing your addiction!!!
Thanks everyone for playing! Would still love to see info from some of the other FQ regulars. I'm honestly surprised by the answers. I had no idea so many people had so many accounts. I feel downright amateur with only three. Overwhelming conclusion thus far, however--boxers ARE the life force of the game.
Ten years ago I had three. Currently I have two, but since I'm on Mangler my second is on a Windows 8 tablet and it's a bit cumbersome to play adroitly so I often just play one account or the other if my second can't just be, like, a heal or DPS backup.
4 paid currently, 1 silver. if I find I want a dps bump I turn the wizard back on. all 6 are current expansion.
4 subbed and TBL. Sometimes, if I'm focused on raiding, I might only keep 2 active. Many more that have various characters that I'm not currently playing, but might be played in the future.
Of 113 people listed on my friends list (many are retired/gone), I know 2 players that do not box. Conq
One account. Can't stand boxing (don't care if others box, just not fun for me personally) and have no need for a bazaar mule. If I can't get it done on my own or my friends aren't around, I go do something else
Three gold, two of which are paid and one of which is subbed via krono. I don't box; I raid on a number of different characters (in different guilds) and prefer to have them on separate accounts.
1 paid 1 silver "utility" account Can't stand boxing. Can't stand alts! I have a bard on a silver account that I constantly kill, to the point of it actually being more of a liability than an asset. I've turned it into a utility account now - port mules, forage mules, "fill up a group" mule.
5 paid. I think one of the obvious take aways from this thread is that there is definitely a market for account to account transfers being reinstated. If others are like me, the frequently reorganize their line up and would obviously pay to have toons moved. I think I used that service 3 or 4 times when it was still active.
