let them at leat take part in strat battles, you dont need them on the map, but it would give us more flexibility for battles if alts could participate there. May even have an effect to have better tactics as we then could calculate better what classes are represented.

Every archer and his dog would be out to play. Alts should never be allowed in strat. You want to use a certain spec? Change your main.

Agreed. ONLY main should be used in strat.
You can already win strat gold while playing alts, fine for strat.

Archer alts were a curse that now has been lifted. Let's not bring it back, right? :wink:

50% of XP and 25% gold earned by alts is replicated and goes to main.

I don't understand how the main having gold undermines the smithing skill? If that is the case then all the 2010 players already have such a retarded advantage its not worth worrying about unless you want to reset the whole thing and, kill the mod. Also the lvl 26 thing must be undermining the hell out of it.

Certain exotic weapons and armours accessible only by earning them with alts then transferring them to your main, people will do almost anything to be fashionable.

I really like playing on my alts, but I feel like I'm wasting time not gaining gold for Strategus. I have alts with heirlooms, and it would be nice to be able to transfer them to my main; I think the idea is great.

I especially like the first two points :D

Possibly a stupid question, but: Why do alts need to be played more? I don't really see what this adds to the mod as a whole, rather than to individuals themselves, in which case, thinking about fixes for this problem might be easier when viewed from this perspective.

Encouraging people to play alts keeps people interested and also mixes things up abit.

If that's the case, why even have alts? Why not just allow people to respec whenever they want without a penalty? What is it that makes alternate characters a necessity, rather than the afore mentioned system that would seemingly solve all of the problems?

Strategus. Respec cav for cav maps, archers for open maps when you have a lot of bows, shielder when you need more shielders etc.

Then why wouldn't you just allow everyone to have 1 alt that could respec whenever you wanted, without penalty, as well as allowing the alt to use the main's equipment(this includes looms). Couldn't abuse anything strat related this way.

i personally like either respec whenever you want idea or the pool xp idea

you guys are worried about this apocalypse of stupid classes? that happens anyways
every patch people do this shit this patch was a "apocalypse" of archers and throwers and before that if i recall was a xbow fest
and some weird fluctuation of classes that i have no idea why it happens maybe some wierd flavor of the week happens due to some circumstance

i would prefer to have control over that anyways

and what if they adapt to being a cav on a cav map?you adapt being a polearm
and what if they adapt to being a archer on a archer map?you adapt and be a shielder
we have to do this anyways i do not see what the problem is

Because that would mean whenever you want to try a different class you have to respec back/buy equipment ect. Unless that alt is over loaded with equipment. It's nice having 1 char of each class and just being able to type their name in the box and play whenever you feel like playing that one.
