Ammending bad Habits

Most of my characters (the ones that are not stored) are members of the Suicide Club, which I'm not proud of at least. I suffer from the chronic restarter's syndrome, which means I always want to play the thing I'm not playing at the moment. I'm sick, help me.

Write up the entire concept and tuck it away in a folder on your computer.

Save them for an NPC call or your next character, when the current dies (of natural causes).

Not logging out when there's nothing to do/nobody around and ending up dying in an attempt at doing something fun.
Yeah, I got this problem too.

I have this really bad, as soon as I get 2 or 3 days into my slick talking merchant, I think of an awesome concept for a thief, then 2 days into him, think of one for a warrior and so on and so forth.

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

I'll try that. The worst part is when I realize how much fun the killed off char was and try to recreate him later, ending up with a pitiful copy. I would give anything (when I say anything, I don't really mean it) to have a chance to play one of the good ones again. I have almost 70 chars, and am slowly running out of ideas... Good thing I need to take a break from the game anyway.

lol, tell us your story friend, open up :) I feel you

I need to focus on not letting my roleplay go to pot as soon as it's an even semi-dangerous scene.  :-[
Someone says: I imagine the festivities have worn you thin... Well good. I plan on leading patrols over the next month, that would turn even your shriveled manhoods into sturdy poles of destruction.

I think I have the opposite problem of everyone else, I don't really enjoy writing or thinking of detailed character concepts and backgrounds, all of my
characters have very simple backgrounds, maybe five to eight lines top, but strangely enough, all of my characters also live to be in the 50+ days
of played time.
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

I think that's my problem, more often than not my backgrounds are very detailed and specific and I'll find myself not being able to do something IG that I as the player may want to because my character wouldn't, which leads to me thinking up another character that would fit for that situation. I don't know, maybe I'll start writing up less detailed backgrounds.

I have to ask, how long have you been playing for?

Rairen, what would we do without you?

Let me think. I made a really long break after my third char was killed for talking to a Templar as if he was a mall security officer but let's say about a year or so now. Give or take a bit, I'm not sure.

Using the same emotes and similar emotes too much. Big problem with this.

Indeed. Half of the corpses you've ever stumbled upon in the game are mine.

I definately catch myself doing this as well.
