Transfer XP from alts to main

Like many of us, I have alternative characters. I have tried some builds, some specializations, before finding what I am rolling for.

I would like to delete some of my alts because I will not play them anymore. However, I cannot resign doing it: I have spent so much time with them; I just cannot abandon all these hard earned XP and gold. So I just let these alts rot in the limbo of the database.

Actually, I would really appreciate transferring the XP of these alts to my main character and then I would happily delete these alts at the same occasion.

And why not making it a constant option?

This would encourage/ease playing alts since a player would not lose "time" in comparison to those who play only their main. A player can start an alt/try a new build and if he is not happy with it, he could transfer the XP to its main.

See that since the 10% p. retirement bonus has disappeared, it is not really conceivable to try new builds with a main character at every retirement anymore.

Of course, we could add some kind of limitations (I see chadz enjoys adding limitations): minimum level before XP transfer, transferring only 80% of the XP, etc.

Well, I have only a main char, but I think this is a good idea. There are people with like 20 alts or more  :D.
I was the first one who started -1-ing everyone, now everyone does it to everyone.

This is a realy good idea, but i think full xp is much, even 80% is a little much. I think 50% of the alts xp would be fair.

I would be OK with this if it was a deletion of the alt, all heirlooms and items lost on the alt, as well as a percentage of XP transfered (say 20% or 50% or such).
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

Sounds good, ive rerolled at level 20 3 times already to try new builds. I feel an alt would be too separated.

Let me be the first to disagree with this.

I disagree

now, gold and items... and moving them to your main.... sure.  Im all for it.  and visa versa.  Minus Heirlooms.  There are a few things I wish I could purchase for my alts, and I would love to funnel them some gold.  and If I want to delete an alt, it would be nice to move all that hard work somewhere.

But for XP....  no way in hell.  that particular work has to stay with that particular character.  Thats why you used him in the first place.  You cant get proficient in martial arts by sending someone else to class for you.  you have to do the practice yourself.  Moving XP around would be a game breaking mechanic.

I like the idea actually, however like jspook said its not very realistic  :lol: I suggest that 50% of the gold and 30% or so of the exp gets transferred over. No items (smart to sell all items before doing so)

I think xp should not be allowed to be transfered, but gold is accessable from all alts/main, sort of like a bank.

this is a rather elegant solution to my issue with the system

I mean really, heirlooms mean you're leaving your items to your children after you retire. Why cant the whole family of alts share money? :D

Only gold should be allowed to be switched anything else is retarded and braindead...doenst make any sense... unless u have 3 or 4 lvl 31 alts i geuss it would be nice to get lvl 35-36 in a click of a icon..  :shock:

One thing i hate is haveing all the good rounds goin only to my main and when switching to one of my alts hes broke :( would be nice if u could share the wallet.

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.
