I retired my alt 3 times already. I didnt play him during the last 2 months though because I simply prefer playing on my main char. I am not even sure why, because when equipment was important for Strat and the main was the only char being able to use the marketplace, it was only good to invest time on the main... but now any char is good as the other..

only difference is the way to get more xp by Strat battles...

Once I keep on playing my alt, I will surely retire him everytime I reach 31 again. LPs, you understand. :)

I've retired my alt 14 times already. Don't do it unless you're super bored when playing main.

If you are most concerned about getting heirloom points, retire your main. If you have found a playstyle and build you really enjoy and are hesitant to want to go back and grind from peasant level, try leveling an alt. If you enjoy the variety an alt provides enough to level it to 31 and would do it again, with another build or not, retire it. It really just depends on how much you play the game, and how much you enjoy it.

To rephrase: Yes, if you play a lot. However, it is going to be very tedious if the only reason you play on alts is to get heirloom points.



*Disclaimer: my main is gen 1, level 35. I have a gen 2 alt, a gen 3 alt and a gen 4 alt. I like the variety of playstyles that alts afford, and leveling up can be fun sometimes. Playing my main is the most fun, but the occasional time I do spend on my alts adds up enough eventually to make it viable to retire them.

But he'll be around somewhere between Heaven and The Devil, because neither of them will take him in, and he'll be farting loudly and singing a filthy song.
