Do you play MMORPGs as a single main character or a stable?

"Taken from Massively."

Long ago, I used to be a two-character kind of MMORPG player. I had a main, and then later I’d make a chief alt, and I rarely bothered to level anything else seriously except as needed for roleplaying or whatnot. But as MMOs have developed to require less time to cap and better support account-wide bonuses, I’ve expanded my horizons right along with them. For example, starting in classic Guild Wars, I began thinking of my gameplay in terms of working on my whole account — and that’s a result of shared unlocks and storage. I’ve realized I do this in World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2, as well, specifically because of account-wide achievements and benefits. I usually have a main character, but she’s merely the leader of the whole group of characters I play on — because I no longer feel forced to choose “the one” to receive all the perks.

How about you? Do you play MMORPGs as a single main character or as a stable?

I used to stick to only one main as I always used to feel like making another char is starting from scratch and as someone who has to complete EVERYTHING (crafting, achievements, exploring) on their character the change always seemed daunting. However once WoW made achis account wide I figured I'd try a few new chars, didn't bank on actually enjoying being a healer way more than my main though lol So nowadays its one main and two or three beloved alts.
