How many characters have you gone through?

[Caiden]

I'm wondering how many characters the wonderful players that inhabit Zalanthas have gone through thus far.

[Caiden]

I've been here about a month...  I'm already at 26, but maybe cause I'm a little... adventurous. And I have bad luck. So go figure.

[Caiden]

you guys should post how long you've been playing too!

[X-D]

I sorta wonder if you are just wanting the hard numbers or some statistics.

The interesting thing about that type question is that Arm has been around for more then 20 years now...Some of us have been around that long and are still under 40 PCs. While I know of some people who have broken 100 PCs in like a year.

[Caiden]

oh, no, just statistically. I don't care about hard numbers, just the rough estimate. Zalanthas is a harsh world, and I feel like I got brutally raped. lol.

[Caiden]

but I still have fun dying! This is probably one of the few games that game make me rage quit, and in the middle of my rage I make a new character so it doesn't take forever to get a new character when I cool down. Anyone else share these experiences?

[racurtne]

After around 2 years of actual playtime over the past 4 years, I'm on number 5 (one of which comprises 1.5 years of that 2 years).

[Malken]

My average these days is probably 1-2 a year.. And that's being generous.. I can play a character for a whole year easy if I really enjoy it. My #1 loss of characters is due to storage.

I honestly can't remember the last time I actually died without wanting to..

Ever had a character just die from old age?

[Fujikoma]

I've been playing for a couple months, maybe? And I've gotten about four or five of them killed. The first lasted three hours in the rinth before he was cut down by some kill-crazy hooded figure. When you start finding bloody loot piles, as I've read elsewhere, it's time to start wondering what might have created them before you start looting.

I think I'm on #147. Started in '07. Lots of adventure rangers, lots of storage....

[Patuk]

On my 13th character right now. Storage comprises exactly one fourth of my past characters, it does.

No, but I think my longest lived PC in game years aged 28 game years...so, no where near where staff would be going...um, Hey bub...

I've been playing this game for almost a year now (whoa, really? It seeme like just yesterday), and I've gone through like four trashy characters that lasted a day or so, and two that I've loved and cherished and put days and days and days of play time into. The short lived characters, I always just feel meh about. But the other two... ohmygod I get so sad when they die in the end and keep almost quitting and convincing myself that I will never have another character as fun to play. So far though, I've always ended up being wrong.

Started October, 2009 and on my 6th PC.

[Barzalene]

47 in about 11 and a half years!

[RogueGunslinger]

I don't know. Over a hundred, less than 150. Lost my other account so I can't tell for sure.


When I was a nub I went through characters so fast. My favorite part of the game was making new characters with new personalities and seeing how others would react to them.

Lately I live longer. It's been like 5 characters in a year. Most of them around 5 days played with a couple long lived.


That's in about 5-6 years.

[InsertCleverNameHere]

I'm in the low 20's, and about 12... years... I think?

[Hicksville Hoochie]

40+ Started in early 2000s and was on an extended break from about late 2004 to mid last year with a few short spurts in between. I usually find myself getting bored if I'm not dying though! >=D

[spicemustflow]

147 in about 5 years. could be worse, I think.

[Bogre]

36 in 10 years.

No storage.

Caiden , I haven't had time to crunch my numbers yet, or check over the forums.  But can I suggest for your next character, you roll in Allanak, spend your sids only on food and drink, sit in the Gaj during game nights,and if you encounter any bynners regularly, chase up their sergeant. The Byn gives teaches you the ooc tricks on staying alive, trains your character,and if you listen, teaches you about the bad things out there, and mixes you with some great RPers.
For your OOC sake, (and for the sake of your character's well being) stick to their rules.
You've been here a month, so you probably know all this already. 
Oh,did I say don't go through the gates by yourself, and don't go north side.
Oh,sorrry...was that a derail?

[BleakOne]

Been playing almost three years now. I'm on PC number six, I think. Maybe seven.

[musashi]

Been here since 2008. 34 characters. These days my PC's tend to be pretty long lived. Most of those were rangers back in my newbie days.
