Its great to hear you enjoy your alt!
Thing is thats what my friends did aswell til they hit the wall.
BUT if you really are discovering new things all the time and having a blast continue by all means!
I just want you to have this in the back of your head if you ever get bored and feel like you should stop EQ2. Game changes (imo) more when leveling then it does chaning to an alt and it only gets better and better.
I really have to say SoE has done a great job with the higher tiers!
I knew this thread wouldnt stop anyone from playing alts but hopefully someone will remember this thread and my points if they hit the wall so they wont give up..
I have 3 alts myself. a lvl 23 wizard a lvl 8 mage (future enchanter) and a lvl 12(?) warrior.
I have fun playing them once in a while but I focus on my main because to me thats where the most diversity is.. Hitting new zones.
What do I mean I have never grinded? To me a grind is when you go to a 'camp' and have someone pull mobs to the same spot for xp only.
I have never done that.
My group almost allways have the same quests so we hunt for quest mobs while exploring all the time. When we hit a new zone we explore and get new quests.
Sometimes we dont kill my questmobs but someone else in group to help him. I dont call that a grind either.
The only thing I have done that felt like a grind was in zek.
Got a quest to kill 300 orcs in there so we went to the zl and killed green/grey orcs for an hour or two. Was boring and felt like a grind.
People who only hunts for xp have missed the point with this game and wont get as much xp as a group who allways do quests and explore.
Theese are my thoughts. You can agree or disagree but remember this thread if at one point you start finding this game boring.
And hitting 50 does not mean your 'done'.
After talking to alot of highend raiders they say the game is a blast getting to 50 but it is nothing at all compared to how fun the high end raids are!

I know you meant well, and I wish you good fortune in your chosen style of play, but it just wouldn't work for me. In fact, limiting myself to one character and slowly grinding my way to 50 without any variety would probably drive me right out of the game!
Have to say something about this.. I am 43 as I allready stated. I never ever do the same thing!
Two exceptions, I dont get much variaty and do the same again when:
- I help lowbie guildmates with quests.
- play my alts.
Have a good hunting trip people!
