DougGraves Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 With 1,000 character slots and tons of content - do you log on with a plan? Do you log on knowing which character you will play and what you will do? Do you just see what is going on and join in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycat Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Eh. I'm probably sounding like a broken record, but it's generally RP-based. Otherwise... *shrug* Creating a new character. Picking someone at random. Getting a wild hair to get people (say) in the teens to the 20s, or the nearest 5-level (43 to 45, for instance.) Whatever I feel like that particular moment. 1 Still not particularly fond of certain segments of this community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Normally, I play the newer characters to get them finished up and move them around to their dayjobs. Down to four chars that don't have that done. Otherwise, it's what char do I want to play? I have some old favorites that I sometimes run around with, sometimes it brushing the dust off one that deserves a second look. Sometimes, I'll just think "I haven't played this one in ages, do I still need it?" and I'll strip it, then delete. (Yea, I could just leave it there, but not my style) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm leveling a character for which I've developed an obsession, or I've finished planning out a respec for a character. Otherwise, I just go with my gut. 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying.

SeraphimKensai Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I'm a professional planner by trade (even have a certificate and all, planning.org), so I "try" to avoid having a plan when I boot up something to play. That said I have an idea what I want to play tonight at least for a bit assuming the toddler falls asleep soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
