Alts and multiple characters

Howdy. I was wondering what people's thoughts were on playing multiple characters here. I assume that given the nature of the credit system and how expensive it would be to maintain multiple "combat-ready" characters, everybody winds up having a single main character.
But do people typically keep alts in other circles? The inter-circle interactions are somewhat rigid and limited (you magick-loving heathens will be purged). You'd potentially miss out on a third of the interesting activity going on in the game.

Not when you factor in the cost of non-guild skills and artifacts.
"On the battlefield I am a god. I love war. The steel, the smell, the corpses. I wish there were more. On the first day I drove the Northmen back alone at the ford. Alone! On the second I carried the bridge! Me! Yesterday I climbed the Heroes! I love war! I… I wish it wasn’t over."
The problem with alts is the skills most established players take for granted. Having to retrans survival, antidotes,etc on top of class skills is generally something that adds up to way more than just retransing the skills for a new class (of course this varies: someone with 6 professions invested in a circle might take a significantly larger hit).
The latter group of people also tend to have artefacts though, and generally most of those will translate across well to a new circle (bracelets, surcoat, etc). Those are things which will really hit you monitarily if you deck out a new alt with them, and most people get so accustomed to having those artefacts after a while that they struggle without.
I think a lot of people do probably alt though, there's a fairly standardised list of people who tend to cycle between circles when they get bored or for whatever other reasons, and its not really that large.

The big thing to remember with villains is this: Bad guys who believe that they're the bad guys are rare things; most bad guys think they're the good guys.
And Stannis is the true king of Westeros; he is the good guy.

But I totally agree on bad guys thinking they're the good guys. They're usually more fun to interact with in game too.

Won't make any real difference. Once a mongrel, always a mongrel.
